South Dakota outlasts Minnesota in 2nd OT, 85-81

MINNEAPOLIS -- South Dakota has four players who were raised in Minnesota. The head coach, too.

Trailing by six with 95 seconds left in the first overtime, the Coyotes didn't fold. Their Big Ten opponent wilted down the stretch instead.

Tre Burnette had 14 points and the go-ahead layup with 35 seconds left in the second extra session, lifting South Dakota to an 85-81 victory over Minnesota on Saturday afternoon.

"We didn't drive this far to lose," said Shy McClelland, who had 14 points, nine assists and seven rebounds for the Coyotes (5-3) including a 3-pointer with 1:14 remaining in the second overtime.
