The Eastern Michigan basketball team led for less than five seconds of regulation play against Western Michigan on Wednesday night.

But after a Broncos buzzer-beater foiled a late Eastern Michigan comeback and forced overtime, the Eagles hit 75-percent of their shots in the extra session to claim a 62-59 Mid-American Conference win in front of 1,008 at the Convocation Center.

Senior guard Antonio Green hit a 3-pointer with 4.6 seconds left in the second half to give Eastern Michigan (8-10, 3-1 MAC) its first lead of the game, 53-50.

Western Michigan’s Nate Hutcheson, who led all scorers with 21 points, answered with a 3-pointer of his own from the corner as time expired in regulation.

Green scored four of his team-high 11 points in overtime, including a pair of free throws with 17 seconds remaining. After shooting just 35-percent from the floor in regulation, the Eagles made 3-of-4 shots from the floor and 3-of-4 free throws in overtime.

Eastern Michigan took a 57-55 lead on a Green jumper with 2:44 remaining in overtime and never trailed again. Hutcheson had another chance to tie the game at the buzzer, but missed a last-second 3-pointer.

The win leaves the Eagles tied for the MAC West Division lead with Ball State (11-5, 3-1), which won 73-52 at Central Michigan on Wednesday.
