BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Desmond Cambridge scored 31 points and hit 7 of 13 3-pointers and Brown beat Canisius 97-90 in overtime Tuesday night to win its fifth straight.

Canisius led 37-35 at halftime, but trailed by as many as 10 in the second half. Isaiah Reese and Malik Johnson hit 3-pointers to put Canisius up 84-82 with 16 seconds left, but Choh's layuyp tied it at 84 at the end of regulation.
