Columbia Greene men's basketball drop matchup against Herkimer in an overtime thriller. The final score was 86-83 in favor of the Generals.

Into the second half, the generals kept fighting and would claw their way back into the contest. They would do this with full court pressure and hot shooting after the break. With around 10 minutes left on the clock, the Generals would even up the score. The Twins were determined to push the Generals to the brink throughout the last ten minutes. Both sides traded baskets, and each had huge defensive stops. At the end of regulation, the score was tied, and the game headed to overtime. Both teams stood toe to toe with each other until the final two seconds, when the Generals sealed the game after a made free throw attempt.
