How it Happened
Sophomore guard Donyae Baylor-Carroll scored a game-high 45 points, including 18 in two overtime periods, to lead Penn State Harrisburg to a 104-96 victory over sixth-ranked Johns Hopkins in the first round of the 2020 NCAA Division III Men's Basketball Tournament in Goldfarb Gymnasium Friday evening.
 
The win propels the Lions into the second round, where they will take on Yeshiva, which topped WPI, 102-78, in the other first-round game at Johns Hopkins today.
 
After Baylor-Carroll and Johns Hopkins freshman Carson James traded three-pointers in the last five seconds of the first overtime to force a second extra session, Baylor-Carroll fueled a 21-point outburst in the second overtime for the Lions.  He scored the first eight Penn State points to help turn an 83-83 tie into a 93-86 lead for the Lions and Johns Hopkins was never close than five in the final two minutes.  Baylor-Carroll scored 10 of the team's 21 points in the five-minute session to lock up the second-round date with Yeshiva.
 
In a game of runs, the Lions used a 13-point spurt late in the first half to turn a 30-27 deficit into a 40-33 halftime lead.  Down 27-25, the Blue Jays got five quick points from Tom Quarry to grab the 30-27 lead, but the Lions answered with the 13-0 run to grab a 40-30 lead.
 
A Dylan Daniels dunk off a loose-ball scramble jump-started the spree for the Lions, who also got four points each from Baylor-Carroll and Clinton Asalu during the run that started with Daniels' dunk at the 5:48 mark and ended with a Baylor-Carroll offensive rebound and short jumper just over five minutes later.

The Blue Jays went scoreless from Quarry's three with 6:11 on the first-half clock until Conner Delaney drained a three-pointer with 28 seonds left in the first half that accounted for a halftime score that saw Penn State Harrisburg lead 40-33.
 
The first half saw five ties and 12 lead changes and neither team led by more than three for the first 11+ minutes until the Lions grabbed a 27-23 lead on a Asalu jumper.  The Blue Jays grabbed the 30-27 lead with a seven-point run of their own that Ethan Bartlett ignited with a fast-break layup and Quarry capped with a his triple that gave Hopkins the three-point cushion.
 
The Lions led by 10 early in the second half at 43-33 after a half-opening three from Daniels and still led 51-45 with just over 15 minutes remaining only to have the Blue Jays close to within 52-50 on a Quarry layup.
 
A 10-5 spurt for the Lions, which started with a short jumper from Daniels and ended with a Baylor-Carroll three-pointer, pushed the Lion lead to 62-55 with just over nine minutes on the clock, but the Blue Jays responded with their biggest run of the night that turned the seven-point hole into an eight-point lead.
 
Down seven, the Blue Jays went on a 15-0 run that gave them a 70-62 lead with 3:44 remaining.   Four different players scored during the spree for the Blue Jays with Bartlett scoring seven of the 15 with a pair of triples.  Johns Hopkins hit three, three-pointers to fuel the run.
 
The eight-point lead was gone in less than two minutes as the Lions used a Baylor-Carroll three and an old-fashinoed three-point play to quickly pull even.
 
The Blue Jays were up 73-70 before Baylor-Carroll was fouled on a three-pointer with 37 seconds left in regulation and hit all three free throws.  Quarry missed a three with 22 seconds remaining and Baylor-Carroll's three at the buzzer was just off the mark to send the game to overtime.
 
Johns Hopkins was down 80-75 with less than two minutes left in the first extra period after a Baylor-Carroll three, but an old-fashion three-point play from James and a basket inside from Bartlett tied things with 34 seconds remaining.  That set the stage for a wild final few seconds that saw Baylor-Carroll drain a triple with just over five seconds on the clock, only for James to dribble the length of the floor and force the second overtime with a clutch three of his own.
