ROCHESTER, Mich. (AP) — Darell Combs hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 30 seconds left as Eastern Michigan edged Oakland 81-79 in overtime on Saturday.

After Combs’ 3 gave Eastern Michigan (7-3) an 80-79 lead, Oakland missed a jumper with nine seconds left and committed a foul. Combs then made 1 of 2 free throws and Travis Bader missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer for Oakland (3-10).

Mike Talley led Eastern Michigan with 21 points while Glenn Bryant added 14 and Combs had 13.

Travis Bader was 10 of 15 from beyond the arc, leading Oakland with 33 points. Bader moved up to sixth in NCAA history for most 3-pointers, now with 415 in his career.

Despite Bader’s hot shooting, Oakland was just 37.9 percent from the field.
