Howard def. Tennessee State (OVC) 84-80 OT

ATLANTA (November 13, 2024) – Guards Blake Harper (Washington) and Bryce Harris (Brentwood, N.Y.) combined to score all 13 of the Howard University men's basketball team points in overtime, propelling the Bison in defeating Tennessee State (TSU), 88-85, in the HBCU All-Star Challenge in Atlanta.
 
The game was a nip-and-tuck affair with neither team able to get an advantage. There were 10 ties and seven lead changes. The Tigers made a late push in regulation to send the game into overtime, tied at 75.
 
Thats is when Harper, the reigning MEAC (Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) Rookie of the Week, went to work, nailing back-to-back three pointers during a 29-second span to give Howard (2-2) an 81-75 advantage at the 4:24 mark of the extra period.
