Khalil Felder had 20 points on 7 of 12 shooting, seven assists and five boards and Jalen Hayes had 16 points and 10 assists for Oakland (12-12, 7-2 Horizon). The Golden Grizzlies shot 60% from the field and 50 percent from behind the three-point line.

Valparaiso 78, Detroit 70

VALPARAISO, Ind. — Darien Walker and Tevonn Walker scored 26 of their 40 combined points in the second half to help Valparaiso beat Detroit, 78-70, tonight.
