Trailing by one point, 73-72, with 0.9 seconds remaining in overtime, Utah Valley's Darthard took a shot from beyond the arc and a foul was called. The officials then took a review of the shot and determined that the clock did not start on time and that Darthard's shot would have taken place after the clock had expired.  
 
Utah Valley shot 34.5 percent (20-58) from the field with a 16.7 percent (4-24) clip from long range. Morgan State hit a 45.9 percent (28-61) mark from the field, including 36.8 percent (7-19) from three. Utah Valley outrebounded the Bears 43-33
