OXFORD, Ohio (AP) Kenny Jones had career-high 26 points and 12 rebounds, Josh Robinson scored 23 points, including the game-winner, and Austin Peay held off Delaware 76-75 on Sunday.

After trailing by 15 points in the second half, Delaware tied it at 69-all after Devonne Pinkard made back-to-back 3-pointers. Another Pinkard 3 gave the Blue Hens a 74-71 lead but Robinson answered on the other end to tie it again.

Eric Carter hit 1 of 2 free throws with eight seconds left to give Delaware a 75-74 lead. But after a timeout, Robinson took the inbounds pass and drove to the basket for a 76-75 lead. Delaware turned it over on its final possession.

Robinson, who reached the 1,000-point mark for his career, made five 3-pointers but Austin Peay (3-2) was just 6 of 26. Jones had his third straight double-double.

Jones and Robinson combined to score 23 of Austin Peay's first 27 points of the second half as the Governors built a 65-52 lead.

Pinkard made seven 3-pointers and scored 22 points for Delaware (3-3). Chivarsky Corbett had 10 points and 10 rebounds.
