After Khristian Collins missed a pair of foul shots for Baptist Bible with 0:38 remaining, King's knotted the score at 57-7 on a basket by Jim Schule with 0:31 on the clock to send the game into overtime.
Nate Penley would give the Defenders a 59-57 lead into overtime, but the Monarchs recaptured the lead when Kofi Dwebeng buried a three-pointer to put King's on top 60-59 with 3:41 left.
But the Defenders would outscore the Monarchs 9-0 the rest of the way thanks to five points from Justin Cook to take a 70-60 lead with 1:03 on the clock. The Monarchs would draw no closer than seven points the rest of the way.
Cousart led all scorers with 28 points for King's while Welsh added 11 as the only Monarchs to reach double figures. John Soboleski added nine points and 10 rebounds while Dwebeng netted nine points with seven boards.
Cool led the Defenders with 20 points while Workman and Nathan Greve netted 16 points each.
