FAYETTE, Mo. – Josh Robinson (JR/Normal, Ill.)'s layup with 0.7 seconds remaining secured a 92-90 victory for the (RV) Central Methodist University men's basketball team over Missouri Valley College in a back-and-forth contest on Saturday afternoon.

The Eagles (10-5, 5-4 Heart) had to battle for the win in a game that saw 12 ties and 21 lead changes. Central Methodist trailed in the final 90 seconds of play before a three-pointer by Isiah Sykes tied things up at 90-90. The game looked headed for overtime after a missed CMU free throw and missed layups on both ends, but a steal and conversion by Robinson secured the game in regulation.

Central Methodist showcased five athletes finishing in double figures, led by Isaiah Thurmond (SR/Alton, Ill.) with 22 points. Cameron Tutt (SR/Owensboro, Ky.) followed with a double-double effort of 16 points and 15 rebounds. Robinson and Terrance Bush (SR/Des Moines, Iowa) each dropped 14 points and Sykes rounded out the effort with 12 points.

The Eagles will return to action on Thursday, Jan. 10, to face MidAmerica Nazarene on the road. Game time is set for 7:30 pm.
