Davis made 18 of 20 free throws while Clark made 9 of 14 field goals, including 4 of 6 from 3-point range, and grabbed eight rebounds for UMass (6-4). The Minutemen scored their most points since a 105-96 win over BYU on Dec. 7, 2013.

Clark scored seven points and Davis made 4 of 4 free throws during a 13-4 run that put the Minutemen up 99-90 with 36 seconds left in overtime.

Thomas led New Orleans (3-6) with 16 points and a career-high 13 rebounds.
