SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) — Josiah Davis put up 31 points and tallied a double-double as CSU Northridge beat UCSB 85-83 in overtime on Thursday.

Davis had 14 rebounds and seven assists for the Matadors (17-10, 10-5 Big West Conference). Josh O’Garro scored 20 points while going 8 of 15 from the floor, including 2 for 4 from 3-point range, and 2 for 5 from the line, and added eight rebounds. Mahmoud Fofana had 14 points and 14 rebounds. It was the sixth win in a row for the Matadors.

Grady Lewis, who scored just four points, sent the game to overtime for the Matadors in a frenetic two-play sequence.

He passed to Lewis, who tied the game with 14 seconds left, sending it to overtime, where he scored the first two points. The Matadors never lost the lead again.
