JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Femi Olujobi set career highs with 37 points and 18 rebounds on Saturday night and North Carolina A&T used a late rally to force overtime and then powered through the extra period for a 90-82 win over Jacksonville.

Devonte Boykins' 3-pointer with 3:39 left in overtime gave the Aggies (3-1) the lead for good at 83-80. Olujobi added a jumper on the next possession and a free throw with 1:35 left to make it a six-point lead. The Dolphins (0-3) posed no threat from there.

NC A&T had a 14-6 run in the final four minutes of the second half to lead 78-76 on Boykins' layup with 36 seconds left. Jace Hogan answered with a basket to tie it for Jacksonville and Olujobi missed a jumper that would have won it in the final seconds of regulation.

Hogan led the Dolphins with 24 points, Tanner Rubio scored 17 and Devin Harris 12.
