KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — Alex Lomax scored seven of his 12 points in a game-changing surge and Memphis used its defense to stymie Stanford 56-48 in the fifth-place game of the ESPN Events Invitational on Sunday.

Maxime Raynaud and Harrison Ingram hit back-to-back 3-pointers to put Stanford up 14-9 midway through the first half. After a three-minute drought overall — and five minutes for Memphis — Lomax scored a layup and the Tigers took charge.

It was a 15-0 run with Lomax adding another layup as well as the ending three-point play that made it 24-14 with 1:16 to go. Stanford missed 11 shots before Jarvis Moss hit a 3-pointer to end an 8 1/2-minute dry spell.

Moss hit another 3 just before the buzzer to pull the Cardinal within 25-20 but for the half Stanford was 4 of 19 behind the arc and shot 22% overall.

Kendric Davis scored 12 of his 14 points in the second half for the Tigers, who never allowed Stanford to get closer than four on three separate occasions. The last came on a Spencer Jones 3-pointer that made it 50-46 but Deandre Williams powered inside for a layup and scored on a fast break, both following Cardinal misses, for a 54-46 lead in the last minute.

Williams had 14 points, seven rebounds, six assists, two blocks and a steal for the Tigers (4-2).

Jones and Ingram both had 10 points for the Cardinal (3-4).

Miami (Fla.) 66, UCF 64 - Box Score
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Nijel Pack scored 16 points to lead four players in double figures and Miami held off Central Florida 66-64 on Sunday night.

Pack sank 7 of 10 shots from the floor with two 3-pointers for the Hurricanes (6-1). Wooga Poplar hit two 3-pointers and scored 12. Norchad Omier had 10 points and 13 rebounds before fouling out. Jordan Miller scored 11.

Darius Johnson came off the bench and scored 22 of his 24 points in the final 13:08 to help the Knights (5-2) erase most of a 13-point deficit. Reserve Brandon Suggs pitched in with 11 points and seven rebounds.

Poplar sank both of his 3-pointers and scored eight first-half points to help Miami take a 32-26 lead at intermission.

Poplar hit a jumper coming out of halftime, Omier added a three-point play and Pack hit two 3s and a jumper as Miami used a 15-8 run to grab a 47-34 lead with 13:53 remaining.

UCF stormed back behind Johnson.

Johnson scored 15 straight points for the Knights. He had a three-point play and made two 3-pointers in the run to get UCF within 53-49. C.J. Walker’s layup snapped Johnson’s streak, but cut the Knights’ deficit to two with 7:28 left to play.

Johnson’s three-point play pulled the Knights within 65-64 with 12 seconds left. Isaiah Wong made 1 of 2 foul shots for Miami. Omier drew his fifth foul with one second left, but C.J. Walker missed two free throws — the second intentionally — and Miami hung on.

Tulane 75, Louisiana-Monroe 60 - Box Score
NEW ORLEANS – Tulane improved their record to 5-2 after a 75-60 victory against ULM on Monday night in Avron B. Fogelman Arena in the Devlin Fieldhouse. Junior Jaylen Forbes led the team with 26 points and his highest shooting percentage of the season.
 
Forbes went 8-14 at .571 from the field and an even .500 going 6-12 from beyond the arc. He also tagged on seven rebounds, four assists and four steals.
 
Three other members of the Green Wave scored in double figures with Jalen Cook dropping 14 points and dishing out eight assists. Sion James and Kevin Cross both had 12 points on the night. Cross also added on nine rebounds while James had five.
 
The Green Wave got off to a slow start, down 8-17 eight minutes into the first half. A trio of three pointers would spark the beginning a 14-0 run for Tulane, taking the lead 22-17. Thanks to the hot hand of Forbes, who scored 19 in the first half, Tulane would head into the locker room up 11, 35-24.
