Johnathan Gray scored 29 points, including big 3-pointers at the end of regulation and in overtime, to lead Cornell past Yale 85-84 on Friday night.

Gray knocked down a 3 with 12 seconds left in regulation to put the Big Red (9-12, 4-3 Ivy League) up 71-69, but Austin Morgan's layup with 4 seconds left for the Bulldogs sent it into overtime.

In the extra frame, though, Gray took over once and for all. With a one-point lead, Gray sank a 3-pointer to put Cornell up 77-73 and, about two minutes later, hit another for an 82-79 advantage. He scored Cornell's final point on a free throw to seal it.

Chris Wroblewski grabbed a double-double, scoring 18 points and tallying 10 rebounds for Cornell. The Big Red have won two straight games.
