GREEN BAY, Wis. — Career performances from Jalen Moore and Daniel Oladapo was not enough, as the Oakland men's basketball program fell to Green Bay, 84-81 in overtime, on Friday evening inside the Kress Center.Â
Moore led Oakland (3-10, 3-4 HL) with a career-best 33 points on 9-of-16 shooting, while Oladapo poured in a season-best 20 points and tied a career-high with 18 rebounds (10 defensive, eight offensive) for his fourth double-double of the season. Rashad Williams rounded out Golden Grizzlies in double-figures with 15 points, which included a game-tying 3-pointer in the final minute of the second half.
The trio accounted for 84-percent of Oakland's offense in the loss. Freshman forward Trey Townsend added six points and was the only other Golden Grizzly to make more than one field goal.Â
Oakland led 81-77 with 1:04 to go in overtime but the Phoenix (2-9, 2-5 HL) responded with a shocking 7-0 run to close the Horizon League matchup. Williams, who was Oakland's hottest player down the stretch, missed a 3-point field goal with three seconds left to seal the game.
Green Bay started in front, as they led 31-19 at the 7-minute mark of the first half. However, the visiting Golden Grizzlies gained a 34-33 advantage at halftime thanks to a 15-3 run in the remaining seven minutes of the first period.Â
Neither team led by more than three points in a wire-to-wire second half. The lead changed 18 times alone in the period. In total, the matchup featured 22 lead changes and 13 ties. Â
Moore had the ball in a potential game-winning situation with seconds remaining in the second period but fumbled it out of bounds. It was one of his six turnovers in the game.Â
Green Bay shot 50% (31-for-61) and 43% (10-for-23) from 3-point territory while Oakland averaged 42% (27-for-64) from the field and 33% (8-for-24) outside the arc.
