NCAA Tourney - 1st Round

South Region

(6) Charleston Southern vs. (11) UTEP

An even uglier game than usual for the Bucs. They only shot 12 of 35 from the field and got outrebounded 31-19. UTEP used this to stay close. It was 30-28 with 10:33 left. The Bucs defense then held UTEP to 3 points over the rest of the game to win comfortably. The turnover battle was huge in this one, as UTEP committed 23 turnovers to the Bucs 8.

Charleston Southern 41, UTEP 31
