Fort Wayne outscored the Wolves 7-2 in the second overtime to close out the win.<\/p>\n<p>The Mad Ants were led by Oshae Brissett&#8217;s third straight double double as he had a game high 26 points to go with 11 rebounds and matching a career high with four made three pointers. It was Brissett&#8217;s fifth double double of the season; he had just four in his career coming into this season.<\/p>\n<p>Fort Wayne outshot Iowa (0-7) 41.6 percent to 40.8 percent while the Wolves won the rebounding battle 63-48.<\/p>\n<p>The Mad Ants jumped out to a quick lead, pushing ahead by as many as nine points in the first quarter as Brissett and Devin Robinson combined for 15 early points. Brissett&#8217;s dunk with 5:16 to play in the quarter increased the Fort Wayne lead to 15-6. Iowa pushed back and was able to pull within three at the first quarter break.<\/p>\n<p>The second quarter saw the Wolves surge as Fort Wayne had their worst second frame of the season. Canyon Barry went 5-of-7 shooting in the quarter and Iowa shot 44.4 percent from the field while the Mad Ants missed five three pointers. Barry&#8217;s layup with 9:35 remaining in the first half gave Iowa their first lead. They pushed it out to 10 three minutes later on a Lindell Wiggington jump shot. The Wolves wouldn&#8217;t lose that lead until Naz Mitrou-Long&#8217;s lay in with 54.2 seconds left in the third quarter. Fort Wayne and Iowa went into the final quarter tied at 70.<\/p>\n<p>The fourth quarter saw the teams exchange baskets with seven lead changes along the way. Brissett missed his shot in the closing seconds for the win and Brian Bowen II&#8217;s putback didn&#8217;t fall either. After a quick 2-2 first overtime, Iowa struck first in double overtime. Isaiah Briscoe broke free on the tipoff to rush in for a score six seconds in, but the Wolves would not score again. Fort Wayne&#8217;s defense held with Brissett taking a charge from Wiggington with 1:24 to play followed by Wiggington&#8217;s shot on the next possession being blocked by Amida Brimah. Mitrou-Long&#8217;s runner with 1:12 to play in the second overtime put Fort Wayne up for good.<\/p>\n<p>Behind Brissett, Fort Wayne was aided by Robinson&#8217;s 17 points and nine rebounds, while Josh Gray scored 11 and had six assists. Brimah finished the game with five blocked shots.<\/p>\n<p>Iowa was led by Briscoe&#8217;s 19 points, nine rebounds and six assists. Barry added 18 points while Tyler Cook had 16 points, 18 rebounds and five assists.<\/p>\n<p>Fort Wayne returns to action on Sunday night for a 7:30 p.m. tip against Raptors 905. Iowa plays next on Monday with an 11 a.m. game against Oklahoma City.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2007-trf\/24844.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Mad Ants at Headwaters Park East and the Three Rivers Festival.
