The game marked the third time this year the Knights have lost in overtime. The Knights have now lost five in a row to fall to 4-17 in the season. The Highlanders are now 8-12.
Jheryl Wislon scored NJIT's first 12 points of the game and finished with 19 points. Sean McCarthy did not score but had 9 blocks for the Highlanders.
