East Carolina 73, Stetson 50
GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) -- Caleb White scored 22 points and Andre Washington had 21 with 16 rebounds and East Carolina defeated Stetson 73-50 on Sunday.
The win, in the campus-opener Savannah Invitational, gave seven-year coach Jeff Lebo his 102nd win with the Pirates (3-1), tying Tom Quinn (1966-74) for the most victories in the school's Division I era.
Behind Washington, a 7-foot-1 graduate transfer from Wake Forest, the Pirates outrebounded the Hatters 63-38. Clarence Williams had 13 rebounds with four points and Kentrell Barkley had 11 points and 10 rebounds. Washington, who hit 7 of 8 shots and 7 of 12 free throws, also had six blocks.
With Washington, the tallest player in school history, scoring 15 points, East Carolina opened a 37-23 lead at the half. White took over in the second half with 17 points with four of his five 3-pointers.
Derick Newton had 15 points for the Hatters (2-2), who shot 16 percent in the second half and finished 3 of 31 behind the arc.

#3/3 Villanova 67, UCF 57
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) -- Josh Hart scored 11 of his 15 points in the second half as No. 3 Villanova stared down UCF and 7-foot-6 center Tacko Fall to win the Charleston Classic with a 67-57 victory Sunday night.
The Wildcats opened 5-0 for a fourth straight season, using their experience to pass around the middle and their tenacity to chase down loose balls that Fall couldn't corral.
The result was the fourth in-season tournament title for Villanova in as many seasons, the defending national champions running their November record the past four years to 24-0.
Fall did his part for the Knights (3-1) with 20 points on 10-of-10 shooting and 13 rebounds -- he was 26 of 31 with 34 rebounds in three games at TD Arena. The rest of his teammates shot less than 33 percent as Villanova took a 12-point lead at halftime and kept a comfortable margin the rest of the way.
UCF closed to 37-32 on Matt Williams' basket with 16 minutes left. Then the Wildcats took off on a 12-3 run to extend the lead. Hart had a jumper and his only 3-pointer in the surge. The Knights never got within single digits after that.
Villanova freshman Donte DiVincenzo had 13 points. Jalen Brunson and Kris Jenkins added 12 apiece.
Williams had 17 points for UCF.
Missouri 67, Tulane 62
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- K.J. Walton scored 20 points and Frankie Hughes added 14 points as Missouri rallied to beat Tulane 67-62 at the Tire Pros Invitational.
Kevin Puryear scored 11 points for the Tigers (2-2), who claimed seventh-place in the tournament.
"I'm glad for our team that we finally experienced some success at this tournament," Missouri coach Kim Anderson said. "I think maybe we had a little doubt in our minds today and the only way I know to cure that is to play with effort and intensity. We challenged them to do that and they responded."
Tulane (1-4) got 18 points from Cameron Reynolds and 10 apiece from Malik Morgan and Kaiin Harris, but lost for the third straight time.
"This was a tale of two halves for us," Tulane coach Mike Dunleavy said. "I thought we did a really nice job with their dribble penetration in the first half. Then they just took it to us in the second half, got to the free throw line a bunch and scored 40 points in the paint on us. It's hard to survive that number."
Puryear and Walton, who had two points each in the first half, woke up a stagnant Missouri offense at the start of the second half. They combined for 27 points after halftime.
Puryear scored nine of his team's first 11 points of the second half with some strong post-up moves to cut the 10-point halftime deficit to just 36-33 with 15:50 left. A few minutes later, Walton came off the bench and scored 11 points in a 15-3 run to give Missouri a 51-46 lead.
