Alex Millstone hit three free throws with no time remaining - the last two after Flatbush tried to ice him with a timeout - to help the #11 Wildcats (9-3; 18-3) complete a stunning comeback.
The #18 Falcons (7-5; 8-6) scored the game’s first 15 points, led by 10 at halftime and for most of the 2nd half and were still up eight points with 3:20 to play. Isaac Solomon keyed the DRS comeback late with a pair of baskets but Flatbush retook the lead, 44-42, on a Beni Kedi layup off an alley-oop pass from Ronnie Chaaya with :24 left.
The Falcons forced a jump ball and got possession with :11 left but missed the front end of a one-and-one with :07 left. DRS rebounded and Millstone got a loose ball at the top of the key with time expiring, launched a shot and was fouled, setting up the winning free throws. He finished the game with 16 points, hitting all seven of his free throw attempts. Solomon scored 17 points. Isaac Cooper led the Falcons with 15 points and Keda had 14.
