LEWISBURG, Pa. (AP) Terrance Hill scored 16 points, including going a perfect 3-for-3 from beyond the arc, to lead Morehead State to a 68-56 win over Princeton on Saturday.

Milton Chavis scored 12 points and Lamont Austin added 11 for the Eagles (3-3), who improved to 2-0 in the Lewisburg subregional of the TicketCity Legends Classic. The Tigers have lost both of their games in the tournament.
