Charleston, IL (Sports Network) - Tyler Laser hit two technical free throws with one second remaining to give the Eastern Illinois Panthers a 76-75 win over the Morehead State Eagles in an Ohio Valley Conference upset. The technical foul was called when Morehead State called an excess timeout after forcing a Panther turnover in the closing seconds.

James Hollowell scored 23 points for the Panthers (13-11, 7-7 OVC). Laser finished with 16 points and Jeremy Granger added 10.

Kenneth Faried scored 19 points and grabbed seven boards for the Eagles (17-8, 11-3), who had won 13 of 14 contests. Maze Stallworth added 18 points, while Demonte Harper tallied 15.

The game was tied at 40 at halftime after the two teams went a combined 28- for-50 from the floor.

Stallworth hit a three-pointer with 12.4 seconds left in regulation to give the Eagles a 75-74 lead and seemed to have the game won when the Panthers lost the ball on their next possession.
