BIG SECOND HALF LEADS OAKLAND PAST GREEN BAY, 85-72

Feb. 24, 2017

Box Score | Notes

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Jalen Hayes scored 22 points on 10-of-15 shooting and grabbed 10 rebounds, Sherron Dorsey-Walker added 19 points and Oakland distanced itself from Green Bay at the end for an 85-72 win Friday night for its eighth straight win.

Kameron Hankerson's 3-pointer tied the game at 67 with five minutes remaining before Oakland (23-7, 13-4 Horizon League) closed with an 18-5 run while making six of its last seven shots. Green Bay (17-12, 11-6) made just two of its last nine attempts.

Martez Walker added 17 points for the Golden Grizzlies, which shot 32 for 58 (55 percent). The Phoenix finished 28 for 69 (41 percent) and made just 4 for 19 (21 percent) from 3-point range.

Oakland dominated the interior with a 50-38 scoring advantage.

Green Bay's Kenneth Lowe scored 17 points on 8-for-10 shooting, Charles Cooper scored 15 before fouling out, and Kerem Kanter scored 13 points with 12 rebounds.

With the win, the Golden Grizzlies clinch the No. 2 seed for Motor City Madness, March 3-7, at Joe Louis Arena. With a win on Sunday at Milwaukee, and a Valparaiso (23-6, 13-3) loss at Northern Kentucky, Oakland would win a share of the regular season title and earn the No. 1 seed by virtue of sweeping the Crusaders.
