AMHERST, Mass. (AP) Malik Mack scored 32 points, including a layup to force overtime and a clutch 3-pointer in the extra period, to lead Harvard Crimson to a 78-75 victory over UMass 78-75 on Friday night.

Mack got to the basket to tie the game at 70-all with :18 left in regulation. After Louis Lesmond hit from deep to put Harvard up 73-71 in overtime Mack hit from beyond the arc to make it 76-71.

Mack also added six assists for the Crimson (4-0). Chandler Pigge scored 15 points while shooting 5 of 8 from the field and 4 for 4 from the line, and added 11 rebounds. Lesmond shot 5 for 9, including 4 for 7 from beyond the arc to finish with 14 points.

The Minutemen (2-1) were led by Matt Cross, who recorded 16 points, 16 rebounds and two steals. Josh Cohen added 13 points and eight rebounds for UMass. Rahsool Diggins also had 13 points.
