Damen Bell-Holter's 3-pointer from three-quarter court just before the buzzer gave Oral Roberts a 58-55 victory over Arkansas-Little Rock on Monday night.

After Oral Roberts' Warren Niles hit two foul shots to tie it at 55 with 3 seconds to play, UALR threw a long inbound pass.

But Bell-Holter wrestled it from Courtney Jackson, turned and banked in the game-winner from near the opposite free throw line.

Roderick Pearson led the Golden Eagles (7-3) with 20 points, and Bell-Holter had a double-double of 12 points and 11 rebounds. Dominique Morrison added 11 points and Michael Craion 10 rebounds.

Oral Roberts led 14-13 with 12:27 left in the first half, and then not again until Bell-Holter made a free throw for a 51-50 lead with 1:26 remaining.
