CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Jacolby Mobley hit a 3-pointer as time expired in overtime and Tennessee-Martin overcame a 13-point halftime deficit to beat Austin Peay 85-84 on Saturday.

Mobley's buzzer-beater was reviewed by officials after the horn and upheld.

UTM (15-12, 7-5 Ohio Valley) was down by four with under a minute left, but Alex Anderson drilled a 3-pointer with 35 seconds left. After Chris Horton made 1 of 2 from the line for Austin Peay, Twymond Howard grabbed the miss and got it to Mobley for the game-winner.

Two Horton free throws put Austin Peay up four with 53 seconds in regulation. But Howard got loose for a layup, and after a turnover another Howard layup tied it. Anderson missed a 3-pointer with one second left and it went to overtime.

Howard and Anderson had 20 points apiece for the Skyhawks, and Mobley finished with 18.

Austin Peay (12-16, 5-8) was led by Horton with 19 points and 11 rebounds. Kenny Jones had 18 and 10.
