North Texas secures 1st NIT championship in C-USA showdown | |
LAS VEGAS (AP) Kai Huntsberry scored 14 of his 21 points in the first half, Tylor Perry scored 14 of his 20 after halftime and North Texas beat fellow Conference USA foe UAB 68-61 on Thursday night to claim the program's first NIT championship. It was the fourth NIT championship game to feature conference opponents - and the first in 20 years. Conference USA is now 18-2 in the NCAA postseason - with Charlotte winning the College Basketball Invitational title and FAU advancing to the Final Four. Perry, the conference player of the year and NIT MVP, made a steal and a 3-pointer on a fast break to give North Texas the lead for good at 55-53 with 6:22 remaining. Aaron Scott extended it to 61-55 after making a high-arching layup and a jumper. MORE | |
