LIVINGSTON, Ala. – Seab Webster led Alabama Huntsville with 33 points to edge-out a 74-68 overtime victory over West Alabama in Gulf South Conference Men's Basketball action at Pruitt Hall on Saturday.

"I really thought holding them to 60 points in regulation was our shot to win the game, but we missed some chances at the end of the second half," said UWA head coach Allen Sharpe.

"Webster about single handedly beat us. He did this last year to us in the conference tournament final, grant it, it wasn't 33 points. We felt like we had to keep their 3-point makes down, because they are averaging about 10 a game, but we ended up giving up 14 to them tonight. We just didn't do a good enough job defending the three."
