Dover, Del. (Feb. 11, 2023) --- Jelani Williams scored the winning basket on a shot in the lane with 2.4 seconds left to give Howard an 86-85 victory over Delaware State in a MEAC overtime thriller today. The Hornets led 85-84 after O'Koye Parker hit one-of-two free throws with 19 seconds left in the extra period. Williams was well covered by Delaware State in the lane but managed to get off the winning shot to give Howard the last of 22 lead changes in the game. The Hornets called a time out following the basket, but committed a turnover in the backcourt on the ensuing in-bounds play. The score was also tied 14 times in the back-and-forth contest. Howard won its seventh straight game to improve to 15-10 overall and 7-1 in the MEAC. The win also moved the Bison into sole possession of first place in the MEAC standings after a loss by Maryland-Eastern Shore (6-2 MEAC) to Norfolk State today. The loss by Delaware State overshadowed a furious second half comeback and a career performance by guard O'Koye Parker, who came off the bench to tally 24 points on eight-for-12 shooting from the field, including five-of-six on three-point shots. Martaz Robinson added 17 points, while Brandon Stone totaled 13 and Khyrie Staten 12 for Delaware State. Williams led four double-figure scorers for Howard with 19 points and topped all players with 12 rebounds.
