The Shockers erased a late five-point deficit in regulation to force overtime on a last-second 3 by Harlond Beverly, then beat Minnesota, 68-66, in the extra period in the opening round of the ESPN Events Invitational on Thursday at State Farm Fieldhouse.

The Shockers defeated Minnesota in the first round of the ESPN Events Invitational at State Farm Fieldhouse in Kissimmee, Florida, on Thanksgiving Day. WSU was down by 5 points in regulation, but Harlond Beverly tied the game with just 1.

It looked for a while like Wichita State men’s basketball fans would have little to be thankful for on Thanksgiving, but clutch baskets by senior guard Harlond Beverly and fifth-year guard Justin Hill helped the Shockers come away with the win on Turkey Day.
