RADFORD, Va. (AP) Jerome Hill pumped in 29 points, including the game-winning jumper, to lift Gardner-Webb to a 73-72 overtime win over Radford on Saturday.

In a tight contest that included several lead changes, Gardner-Webb (12-11, 5-3 Big South) overcame an eight-point second half deficit with an 11-2 run capped by a Tyler Strange 3-pointer that tied the score at 64 and sent the game into overtime.

Radford (14-9, 4-4) retook the lead in OT on a Jalen Carethers jumper, making it 72-71 with 42 seconds to play, but couldn't stop Hill from sinking the game-winner.

Strange contributed 25 points for the Runnin' Bulldogs, who now have won six straight conference road games and eight of the last nine, stretching back to last season.
