For the third year in a row, the Orange men’s basketball team defeated East Chapel Hill in Hillsborough. This time, East arrived to Panther Gymnasium with the Big 8 Championship already in the bag. But the Panthers knocked down shots down the stretch to pull out a 35-32 victory in overtime. Jason Franklin scored Orange’s only field goal in the extra session and finished with 13 points. J.J. Thompson made a critical steal in the final minute and was fouled in transition, leading to the final two points of the game. Kyle Stanley, the senior center, had several important plays in the post for Orange late as the Panthers secured its second win of the season. On Friday, Orange is scheduled to travel to Chapel Hill.
