No. 9 Men’s Basketball Too Much For Saint Augustine’s

PEMBROKE – The 9th-ranked UNC Pembroke men's basketball team offset cold shooting in the opening half with 46 percent shooting in the second stanza, and got 32 points from its bench on the way to a 72-58 victory over visiting Saint Augustine's on Tuesday evening at Lumbee Guaranty Bank Court.
 
 It was the sixth-straight home win dating back to last season for the Black & Gold (5-0) who shot just 2-for-18 (.111) in the opening 12 minutes of Tuesday's contest before righting their offensive ship. The Falcons (2-2) have now dropped two meetings with Conference Carolinas squads (Barton) in the last three days.

HOW IT HAPPENED
1ST HALF
UNCP connected on just two of its first 18 field goal attempts through the first 12 minutes of the opening half, but Bradlee Haskell gave the hosts the lead for good with a fastbreak 3-pointer at the 5:54 mark. The Braves would eventually tack up the final five points of the first half to lug a 27-21 advantage into the intermission.
2ND HALF
UNCP opened the second half with a 9-2 run to eventually push its lead out to double digits, 35-23, after another fastbreak trey from Bradlee Haskell with 17:51 to play. The Falcons made it a two-possession game, 37-31, with a 3-pointer from Chris Hill at the 15:14 mark, but would not get any closer. UNCP led by as many as 16 points, 72-56, on a dunk from Amare Miller with 44 seconds remaining.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
+ Sophomore Bradlee Haskell matched a game-best with 17 points in 27 minutes of action, while also adding five rebounds and a pair of assists. Haskell was a perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line as well.
+ Sophomore Javonte Waverly added 13 points, eight rebounds and six assists in 29 minutes on the court. He shot 4-for-12 from the field, including a pair of 3-pointers.
+ Redshirt sophomore Elijah Cobb came off of the bench to register 10 points, seven rebounds and a pair of blocks in 21 minutes of playing time. Cobb fueled his offensive numbers with a 6-for-8 success rate from the charity stripe.
NOTABLES
+ UNCP improved to 3-0 all-time against Saint Augustine's, but Tuesday's game marked the first series matchup since the 1984-85 season.
+ The Braves have now captured six-straight home games dating back to a 91-75 triumph over Belmont Abbey in Pembroke on February 12. The Black & Gold has now won 15 of its last 16 outings at Lumbee Guaranty Bank Court as well.
+ The Black & Gold was +18 in the rebounding column on Tuesday, their best board disparity since posting a 41-20 rebounding advantage against Mount Olive in mid-February. UNCP has out-rebounded all five of its opponents in 2022-23, including double-digit advantages in each of its last two contests.
