SAN BERNARDINO (Feb. 13, 2016) -- The Coyotes gave a complete effort against nationally-ranked Chico State on Saturday and pushed the Wildcats into overtime.

Chico State, though, gained the upper hand in the extra period, scoring the first 10 points of OT and defeated the Coyotes 91-79 at Coussoulis Arena.

Juan Martinez led the Coyotes (8-13, 5-12 CCAA) with 19 points and three others scored in double figures in a quality game played by both teams. Desi Barmore added 14, while Darryl Adigwu had 12 and Everett Turner 10.

CSUSB shot 49.2 percent for the game, but the Wildcats (20-3, 14-2) were better from the field, hitting 54.2 percent with 13 3-pointers.

The game featured 11 ties and 13 lead changes and the favored Wildcats never led by more than four during regulation. Meanwhile, the Coyotes created momentum early in the second half, thanks to a 12-3 run that gave them their largest lead of the game at 41-34 with 16:26 left.

But the Wildcats crept back and the game was tied four more times until they forged ahead with a four-point lead (72-68) with 53 seconds left on a Corey Silverstrom layup.

Martinez answered with a three-pointer, and on Chico's next possession, its leading scorer Robert Duncan went to the line on a two-shot foul. He hit the first, but the second rimmed out and the Coyotes had a shot to go for the win or force OT.

Turner attempted a three that was off, but teammate Zeke DeBlase grabbed the rebound and fed the ball back to Turner, who was fouled.

He hit both free throws to tie the game at 73-73 with five seconds left, and the game went into extra time after the Wildcats' Jalen McFerren's 3 was off before the buzzer.

The Wildcats then showed why they are the conference's leader, hitting 10 straight points, capped by successive threes by Tyler Harris and McFerrin.

Silverstrom led the Wildcats with 25 points including seven 3s and Duncan hit 18.

Adigwu led with eight rebounds, while Keith Smith and DeBlase each had six assists.

The Coyotes are at Cal State San Marcos on Saturday for their only game of the week.
