VIENNA, W.Va. -- Markese Allen buried a three-point field goal at the buzzer, lifting Ohio Valley to a 75-73 win over Davis & Elkins on Monday.

D&E overtook the Scots with a 24-6 surge in the second half, making the score 64-57. The run was aided by nine made free throws. Ohio Valley pulled even with a 6-0 sprint, capped by an Austin Parker three, to knot the game at 71-71.  D&E made a pair of free throws and OVU went 1-of-2, putting the Senators ahead 73-72 with 47 ticks on the clock.
