CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Antonius Cleveland and Trey Kellum each had a double-double to lift Southeast Missouri (4-16, 1-6) to a thrilling 68-60 overtime victory over UT Martin (10-11, 2-4) Sunday at the Show Me Center.
 
Southeast held a 19-point lead before Alex Anderson made a 3-pointer on four of five possessions late in the second half to get UTM back in the game.

Anderson was fouled on his fourth trey and converted a 4-point play to tie the game at 47-47 with 5:35 left to play. Myles Taylor then made two free throws to give the Skyhawks their first lead 48 seconds later.
 
Taylor's two free throws ignited a 6-0 UTM run as the Skyhawks pulled ahead, 53-47, with 3:17 remaining.
 
After cutting UTM's lead in half with a 3-pointer, Cleveland rebounded a Eric McGill miss in transition, was fouled and went to the free throw line with three seconds left. Cleveland made his first free throw, but missed his second attempt for the win in regulation.
 
Kedar Edwards rebounded Cleveland's miss and heaved a desperation shot from halfcourt that was off the mark, sending the game to overtime.
 
While it was Cleveland who hit the big free throw to get the game to an extra period, it was Kellum who made the difference in overtime.
 
Kellum scored Southeast's first six points in OT, giving the Redhawks a 62-56 advantage. Kellum helped Southeast win the final period, 13-5, as the Redhawks made 7-of-9 free throws, including four-straight in the last 25 seconds to seal the victory.
 
"All the credit goes to our guys for winning that game," said Southeast head coach Rick Ray. "We had a big lead, let it get away and hung in there to pull it out. We needed to come out in overtime with the same effort we did at the beginning of the game and did that." 
 
Southeast forced 12 turnovers and held UTM to just 25 percent (7-of-28) from the field in the first half.
 
The Redhawks took advantage of the Skyhawks shooting woes, getting out to a 9-0 lead after Isiah Jones made a 3-pointer, Joel Angus III followed with a jumper and Cleveland added four more points.
 
UTM went scoreless for the first 4:17 of the game before Taylor's jumper ended the drought. The Skyhawks missed 10 field goals and turned the ball over seven times in the opening 9:39.
 
Jones later put the Redhawks ahead, 28-9, with another 3-pointer at the 3:38 mark before Southeast led, 32-15, at the half. The halftime lead was Southeast's largest of the season and first in conference play.
 
UTM mounted its comeback by outscoring Southeast, 40-23, in the second half. The Skyhawks shot 43.3 percent (13-of-30) in the second stanza after their sluggish start.
 
Cleveland, who missed three games with an injured right wrist, finished with 20 points and 11 rebounds in his impressive return. He also had two big steals in the final 1:33 of overtime. It was Cleveland's fourth double-double this season and sixth of his career.
 
Kellum added 11 points and a career-high 15 rebounds for the first double-double of his career. He made two of his three field goals in overtime and went a near-perfect 5-of-6 at the free throw line.
 
Angus dropped in 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds.
 
Defensively, Southeast forced 18 turnovers and collected 11 steals. The Redhawks scored 20 points off UTM's mishaps.
 
Additionally, Southeast limited UTM to 33.8 percent (22-of-65) from the field, 15.4 percent (4-of-26) from 3-point range and held the Skyhawks top scoring threat (Twymond Howard) to only five points.
 
"I was happy with the way we defended," commented Ray. "We held them to 33 percent from the field and 15 percent from three. Our defense helped us grind this one out."
 
Edwards led UTM with a double-double 18 points and 14 rebounds, while Anderson followed with 16 points. Both Edwards and Anderson scored all of their points in the second half.
 
Southeast ended a six-game losing streak in Ohio Valley Conference play en route to giving Ray his first career OVC win.
