STORRS, Conn. (AP) – Jeremy Lamb scored 17 points and Shabazz Napier added 15 assists to help No. 4 Connecticut rout American International 78-35 in an exhibition game on Wednesday night.
Napier also had nine points and seven rebounds for the defending national champions. UConn scored the game’s first 14 points and never looked back.
The Yellow Jackets missed their first eight shots from the field and didn’t score until Braxton Gardner’s 3-pointer with 13:51 to play in the first half. American International made just five field goals – all 3-pointers – on 28 attempts in the opening half but trailed UConn only 28-15 at the break.
Carter finished with 16 points, hitting four 3-pointer.
