The Oakland University Golden Grizzlies beat pre-season Summit League favorite North Dakota State at the O'Rena on Friday, 77-76. OU was down by two points with just 23 seconds left, when long distance sharp shooter Erik Kangas came off a screen and nailed the game winning 3-pointer with five seconds left to give Oakland the "W"."What a shot," said OU Head Coach Greg Kampe "Finally at the end, during the last five minutes, I thought, well, we might as well give him that five minutes and see what he can do. His being on the floor helps us. The reality of it is we won against the preseason favorite in the league, a very good team."
Keith Benson led the Golden Grizzlies with 17 points, nine rebounds and three blocks. Freshman Drew Maynard kicked in 15 points while junior Jonathon Jones scored 13 points which put him over 1,000 points for his career.
With the win the Golden Grizzlies improve to 3-1 in league play and 9-7 overall.
