EUGENE, Ore. -- Oakland's Johnathon Jones scored a career-high 32 points, including 10 in overtime, to lead Oakland of Michigan to an 82-79 victory over Oregon.

Erik Kangas added 18 points for the Golden Grizzlies (1-1), who ended the Ducks (1-1) 16-game non-conference winning streak at McArthur Court.

Jones made 13 of 23 shots including a baseline fade-away jumper over Oregon's Drew Wiley with eight seconds left in OT to put his team up 82-77.

The junior guard also had seven rebounds. LeKendric Longmire scored a career-high 18 points, all in the first half for the Ducks, who couldn't get coach Ernie Kent the school record of 213 wins.

Kent is tied with Howard Hobson, the college basketball Hall of Famer who had 212 wins from 1935-1947 including the first NCAA championship in 1939.
