No. 4 UConn rolls past Wagner 83-41 as Nik Khamenia leaves with a lower-body injury

STORRS, Conn. (AP) — Silas Demary Jr. had 18 points and a career-high six steals to lead fourth-ranked UConn to a 83-41 win over Wagner on Monday night.

Forward Nik Khamenia scored 11 points in just 7 minutes for the Huskies before leaving the game midway through the first half with a lower-body injury.

Jayden Ross had 12 points, Na’jai Hines had 10 points and eight rebounds and Braylon Mullins added 10 points for UConn (3-0).

AJ Rodriguez had 10 points for seven rebounds for Wagner (0-3).

Khamenia, UConn’s fourth-leading scorer coming into the game, was on the floor and appeared to be in pain when he slowly returned to his feet with 10:04 remaining in the first half. When a trainer came onto the floor, he pointed to one of his feet.

Khamenia initially stayed in the game. Kareem Watson quickly hit a 3-pointer for Wagner, which called timeout. Khamenia checked out and headed to the locker room with members of the UConn medical staff; he did not return.

Khamenia scored eight points to help UConn take a 14-0 lead. Wagner turned the ball over five times before Rodriguez hit a jumper for the Seahawks’ first points. Wagner had just three field goals in the first 15 minutes and had 17 turnovers in the first half.

Demary scored six consecutive points as the Huskies ended the first half on a 12-2 run for a 44-18 lead.

UConn coach Dan Hurley’s first coaching job came at Wagner. He led the Seahawks for two seasons from 2010-12 and went 38-23 before spending six seasons at Rhode Island. This is his ninth season at UConn.

NO. 7 TEXAS 93, GRAMBLING 62

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Matas Vokietaitis had 26 points and nine rebounds to help Texas beat Grambling State.

Vokietaitis, a 7-foot junior, shot 8 for 12 from the field and made 10 of 12 free throws in 23 minutes. He leads the Longhorns (3-0) in scoring at 21.3 points per game.

Joe Sterling added 13 points and Marcus Spears Jr. had 12, both off the bench. Elyjah Freeman provided 11 points and six rebounds, and David Punch finished with 10 points, six rebounds, three steals and two blocks.

Vokietaitis was the only Longhorns player with more than seven field-goal attempts.

Texas, driving and posting up inside, outscored Grambling State 46-18 in the paint. The Longhorns had a 14-0 edge in fast-break points.

Mekhi Fitts led Grambling State (1-1) with 13 points, and Antoine Shannon had 12.

NO. 11 TENNESSEE 70, RADFORD 47

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Terrence Hill Jr. scored 18 points to lead Tennessee to a victory over Radford.

Dai Dai Ames had 13 points and DeWayne Brown II had 12 rebounds for the Volunteers (2-0), who are having trouble piecing together a cohesive unit with a roster of eight additions built around offense.

Jalen Haralson added 11 points including five in a 16-0 second-half run that pushed Tennessee’s lead to 26. Radford went 8 minutes, 32 seconds without scoring during that burst.

Jordan Kee scored 16 and Warren Keel Jr. added 13 to lead the Highlanders (0-3).

Hill had 10 points at halftime to lead Tennessee to a 33-24 lead. Radford held the rebounding edge, 18-17. The Highlanders were limited to 29% (8 of 28) shooting from the field.

NO. 17 MIAMI 89, NORTH FLORIDA 51

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Malik Reneau scored 16 points, Shelton Henderson added 14 and Miami beat North Florida.

Caleb Gaskins finished with 12 points while Robert Miller III and Somto Cyril each had 10 points and eight rebounds for the Hurricanes, who have won two straight after a season-opening loss against top ranked Florida. Miller also blocked four shots.

Reneau shot 7 of 10 from the field in 18 minutes. It was Reneau’s second consecutive double-digit scoring game following his five-point performance against the Gators.

Although they shot 5 of 27 from 3-point range, the Hurricanes outscored the Ospreys (1-2), 64-26 in the paint.

The Hurricanes forced 17 turnovers, continuing an early0season defensive trend — they’ve forced at least 15 turnovers in each of their first three games.

NO, 18 ALABAMA 109, OAKLAND 68

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — London Jemison made 7 of 7 shots, including six 3-pointers, as Alabama beat Oakland.

Alabama (3-0) guard Aden Holloway started in his season debut after serving a five-game suspension following his March arrest on drug charges that were later dismissed. Holloway hit two 3-pointers in the final two minutes of the first half and finished with 12 points, all on 3s.

Jemison scored 20 points and Amari Allen had 14 points and six assists for the Crimson Tide. Allen hit two 3-pointers off the dribble to score six of Alabama’s first eight points.

Nassim Mashhour led Oakland (0-4) with 18 points on 5-of-13 shooting. Chris Fields Jr. had 15 points and 13 rebounds, seven on the offensive end for the Golden Grizzlies.

Alabama made 20 of 30 shots in the first half, including 11 of 21 from beyond the arc, to take a 56-29 lead into the break. At one point in the first half, the Crimson Tide were shooting over 70% from the field. Oakland shot 8 of 33 from the field but made 11 of 13 free throws.
