DEKALB, Ill. -- Eugene German scored 28 points, the last coming on a drive with four seconds left in overtime, and Northern Illinois knocked off Mid-American Conference leader Buffalo 90-88 on Saturday.
German dribbled away about 15 seconds near midcourt before darting down the lane and getting a tough floater to fall with one second on the shot clock. C.J. Massinburg's shot from just inside midcourt hit the backboard but wasn't close to going in.
Levi Bradley scored 22 points and Justin Thomas a career-high 17 for the Huskies (11-14, 4-8), who had lost four straight.
