OLATHE – MNU hit a jumper with 0.6 seconds remaining in the game to cap off a comeback win against Benedictine Men's Basketball.

The game went back-and-forth before Benedictine took its first lead on a 3-pointer from Drew Purdy with just over 7 minutes before halftime. Brycen LaRue pushed the Ravens to its latest lead of the first half with an old-fashion 3-point play with 51 seconds remaining before Benedictine took a 37-32 lead into halftime.

Benedictine maintained their advantage through the first 13 minutes of the second half before MNU tied the game at 50-all. The Ravens answered to push ahead by 6 points the first time on a free throw from Preston Reynolds and again with 2:31 left on a basket from Deaglan Sullivan.

MNU outscored Benedictine 9-2 over the final 2:31 to earn the comeback win.
