Moore rallies Oakland to 64-63 win over Northern Kentucky

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. (AP) — Jalen Moore scored six of his 17 points in the final 42 seconds to rally Oakland to a 64-63 victory over Northern Kentucky on Friday night.

Moore hit a 3-pointer to pull Oakland within 63-61. He was fouled on a 3-point attempt with five seconds remaining and sank all three free throws for the win. That included waiting out a timeout by Northern Kentucky before his final foul shot.

Moore had five rebounds for the Golden Grizzlies (5-11, 3-2), who have won three straight after an eight-game losing streak. Trey Townsend scored 14 points with seven rebounds. Keaton Hervey added 10 points.

Marques Warrick led the Norse (9-7, 4-1) with 16 points. Trey Robinson had 11 points, while Sam Vinson contributed eight points, nine assists and four steals.
