BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) William ''HaHa'' Lee dunked a teammate's airball with six seconds remaining to give seventh-seeded UAB a 74-73 victory over No. 10 seed Charlotte on Wednesday night in the first round of the Conference USA Tournament.
Andrien White hit a baseline 3-pointer following a steal by Jon Davis with 12 seconds left to give Charlotte (13-17) the lead. Hakeem Baxter airballed a contested floater which Davis jammed through the hoop. White then had a good look at a 3-pointer but it went off the rim.
UAB takes on second-seeded Louisiana Tech in a Thursday quarterfinal.

Davis scored 25 points with 10 assists and four steals for Charlotte. White made 5 of 7 3-point attempts and finished with 24 points.
