ROCHESTER, Mich. (AP) -Derick Nelson scored eight of his career-high 31 points in overtime as Oakland overcame a spectacular UMKC comeback to post a 114-105 victory in the Summit League opener for both teams.
The Golden Grizzlies (4-4, 1-0 Summit) led by 23 points with 13:47 to play, but Dane Brumagin scored 29 points in the second half to get the Kangaroos (3-6, 0-1) back into the game. Brumagin finished with a career-high 40, including seven 3-pointers.
Brumagin hit three straight 3-pointers to pull the Kangaroos within 93-92 with 38 seconds left, but fouled out moments later.

Erik Kangas added 22 points for Oakland, while Keith Benson had 17 points and 13 rebounds and Jones finished with 13 points and 13 assists.
