half on Dionte Adams' jumper. But the Cavaliers went on a closing
24-3 run, powered by 12 points by Harris, to take a 40-19 halftime
advantage.
It was more of the same in the
second half, with Hampton failing to score until Ke'Ron Brown made a
free throw with just over 16 minutes to play. By that point, the lead
had already ballooned to 30 and it wouldn't get under that again
until the closing minutes.
