HIGH POINT 84, WINTHROP 62 | BOX SCORE
From tip-off to finish it was all the High Point University men's basketball team as the Panthers dominated and did not let up their enormous lead at any point of the game, winning in incredible fashion, 84-62, over Winthrop University on Saturday afternoon for Star Wars Night - Black Out.
LONGWOOD 80, USC UPSTATE 54 | BOX SCORE
A flurry of fast-break points started the work of digging out of the hole, and an increasingly boisterous home crowd at the Joan Perry Brock Centers spurred the Lancers to a 17-6 run over those last 7 minutes to go into halftime down by just a bucket. They took a lead for good just five minutes into the second on a corner three from sophomore guard Jaylen Benard and had soon built a 13-point lead of their own en route to a 80-54 victory in front of the enthusiastic packed stands.
UNC ASHEVILLE 69, CHARLESTON SOUTHERN 61 | BOX SCORE
It was another hard-fought road win for the UNC Asheville men's basketball team on Saturday, as the Bulldogs overcame five players with four fouls each late in the contest to defeat Charleston Southern 69-61 in the Buc Dome.
