Fans of Green Bay Phoenix basketball were treated to extra action on Saturday, with one game ending in glee and the other in utter, but familiar disappointment.

In the afternoon, the Phoenix women used a crowd of 3,500-plus strong and timely buckets to beat Purdue Fort Wayne 68-63. The Phoenix saw their one-point halftime lead disappear in the third quarter as the Mastodons outscored them by six points. After tying the game in the fourth quarter, the Phoenix outscored the Mastodons 11-6 to capture their 19th straight win and their 23rd conference title. Natalie McNeal registered career highs in points (27) and rebounds (12) to pace the Phoenix, while Jasmine Kondrakiewicz collected 10 points, while Bailey Butler and Maddy Schreiber added nine points apiece.

At night, the Phoenix men saw a double-digit lead evaporate before losing to Oakland 87-84 in overtime. The Phoenix were outrebounded by 11, including the one by Allen Mukeba that he corralled and put back to force the extra period. Marcus Hall led the Phoenix with 25 points, while Jeremiah Johnson poured in 18 points and Foster Wonders added 12 points off the bench. The Phoenix will get a third bout against the Golden Grizzlies this season when they open the Horizon League Tournament in Oakland on Tuesday.
