OXFORD, Ohio (AP) Michael Weathers scored 18 of his 26 points after halftime, twin brother Marcus Weathers had his first career double-double and Miami (Ohio) overcame a 15-point deficit to beat Grambling State 78-76 in overtime on Wednesday night.
Michael Weathers was 8-for-14 shooting and had a career-best eight assists while Marcus Weathers had career highs of 18 points and 12 rebounds. Jake Wright and Abdoulaye Harouna scored 12 points apiece - including six in overtime by Harouna.
Harouna made a 3-pointer and Michael Weathers hit two free throws to make it 70-65 with 3:51 left in overtime and Miami (4-3) led the rest of the way.
