He shot 6-for-12 from the field, 5-for-9 from three-point range, and 6-for-6 from the free-throw line. Sagl scored 10 of the team's 13 points in overtime, and went 4-for-4 from the line in the final 30 seconds of the extra period.
 
Sagl followed this performance with 17 points at Siena on Jan. 24. He shot 4-for-10 from three-point range, and also contributed a steal.
