Xavier Alexander scored on a reverse layup with three seconds left to tie the score at 64-64 and Lance Sullivan missed on a halfcourt heave at the buzzer to send the game to overtime.
Spicer led RSU with 15 points, while Lance Sullivan added 13, Theo Davis and Deveric Taylor had 11 each and John Boyd added 10.
