MILWAUKEE (AP) — Te'Jon Lucas took an inbounds pass with 4.2 seconds left and drove the length of the floor to score the winning layup and give Milwaukee a 64-62 victory over Illinois-Chicago on Sunday.

Tarkus Ferguson made a layup to tie the game before Lucas responded and was swarmed over by his teammates under the basket.

Milwaukee never led until Josh Thomas' layup with 3:18 left amid a 9-0 run gave the Panthers a 62-59 lead. Ferguson made two free throws with 1:21 remaining before his tying layup.

Lucas finished with 19 points. Darius Roy also had 19 points plus eight rebounds for the Panthers (7-9, 2-2 Horizon League)
