Dwayne Collins had 22 points and 14 rebounds for his 15th career double-double as Miami overpowered Tulane in the first round of the Charleston Classic.
Collins made all eight of his shots from the field -- a Miami program best, and eight of his rebounds came on the offensive end.
Collins was miffed that he made only six of 11 foul shots. The Hurricanes (3-0) broke away early in the second half with a 19-4 run. They advanced to play the Penn State-UNC Wilmington winner.
VIRGINIA 79, Rider 46Virginia abandoned their four guard offense that didn’t work against South Florida for a bigger lineup. The Hoos surely liked the results as Mike Scott had 17 points and eight rebounds leading Virginia a victory against Rider in the Cancun Challenge.
The Cavaliers (2-1), who have trouble winning Puerto Rico, may be taking a liking to the Yucatan as they held Rider to 33.3 percent shooting (17-for-51), ending a fast start to the season that saw the Broncs (2-1) average 87 points in beating Mississippi State and Lehigh. Scott had 13 points in the first half, which ended with Virginia ahead 36-22.
The Cavaliers used a 14-3 run to start the second half to stretch the margin to 50-25 with 15 minutes left. The Broncs never got any closer.
NO. 18 Dayton 63, NO. 21 GEORGIA TECH 59
Speaking of Puerto Rico, Paul Williams' summer of work paid off for No. 18 Dayton. The sophomore guard hit the go-ahead three-pointer and went four-for-four from the free throw line in the last minute to seal the Flyers' win over the Yellow Jackets in the opening game of the O'Reilly Auto Parts Puerto Rico Tip-Off on Thursday.
The Yellow Jackets (1-1) trailed the Flyers 31-22 at the half, but rallied with a string of dunks and layups by Derrick Favors and Gani Lawal.
A 3-pointer by Brian Oliver gave Georgia Tech its first lead of the second half at 49-47 and a layup by Zachery Peacock on an offensive rebound with 4:37 to play gave them a 57-50 lead. Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt said Dayton's energy was the key to its comeback.
