ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) Kevin Ferguson scored 22 points, including the game-winning tip-in at the buzzer, and Army beat archrival Navy 80-78 in 2OT on Saturday.

Ferguson also pulled down a career-high 19 rebounds. Tanner Plomb led Army (17-11, 8-8 Patriot League) with 24 points and Kyle Wilson added 11 for the Black Knights.

A 3-pointer by Wilson staked Army to a 78-74 lead with 1:07 left in the second overtime period. But Shawn Anderson answered with a jumper, and Tom Lacey added two free throws for Navy (18-11, 9-7) to tie it up with 15 seconds to go.

Wilson missed a layup on the game's final possession, but Ferguson was right there for the tip and the win.
