POMONA – Behind a monster night from William Christmas and Jordan Ogundiran, the Cal Poly Pomona men's basketball team toppled California Collegiate Athletic Association favorite Chico State 83-79 in a double overtime thriller at Kellogg Arena.

Getting things started for the Broncos in overtime was Taylor who knocked down two big threes to give the Broncos a six-point lead with three minutes to play.

The Wildcats fought back with a three-pointer of their own along with four free throws before a last-second layup tied the game, once again, at 68-68, heading into the second overtime.

The Broncos shot 43 percent from the field while holding the fourth-ranked offense in the CCAA to a shooting percentage of 35 percent, shooting 24 percent from three-point range.

Tied 73-73, Shackelford hit two free throws to give the Broncos the lead for the remainder of the game.

Chico outrebounded the Broncos 46-41, collecting 18 offensive rebounds but only managed 12 second-chance points while CPP finished with 20 points off of turnovers.
