NEW ORLEANS (AP) -Bo McCalebb had 20 points and T.J. Worley came off the bench for 14 points and 10 rebounds as New Orleans beat Savannah State 71-56 on Saturday.
UNO (7-1) went ahead for good when Kechan Myers stole the ball and Kyndall Dykes hit a layup with 7:08 left to make the score 18-16. The Privateers led 34-27 at halftime.
The teams combined for 52 fouls and 52 turnovers. But UNO got 28 points off of 29 SSU turnovers, while the Tigers (6-8) got 16 from 23 UNO miscues.
