ROCHESTER, Mich. (AP) T.J. Williams had 11 rebounds and 22 points, including a fade away jumper at the buzzer to lift Northeastern over Oakland 61-59 on Tuesday night.

Maxime Boursiquot added 16 points for the Huskies, who finished 3-of-17 shooting from long range and had 19 turnovers.
Jalen Hayes scored 18 points to lead Oakland (9-2), which shot just 6 of 26 from 3-point range. The Golden Grizzlies missed three 3-point shots and a free throw in the final two minutes.
