Bronson Koenig, who added eight points, played 22 minutes, the most of any starter.

Florida A&M, playing on consecutive nights, struggled on offense, shooting only 26%. Elijah Mays and Brendon Myles led Florida A&M with nine points each.

at No. 11 West Virginia 92, Northern Kentucky 61: Tarik Phillip scored 16 points and the Mountaineers shot 52% from the field to pull away from the Norse.

Teyvon Myers had 13 points, Esa Ahmad scored 12 and Jevon Carter finished with 11 for the Mountaineers (11-1), who have won seven consecutive games.

Northern Kentucky jumped to a 12-4 lead early in the first half, but West Virginia led 36-29 at halftime. The Mountaineers then opened the second half with a 12-2 run, and Northern Kentucky (9-4) never recovered. Carson Williams led the Norse with 12 points.
