Bethune-Cookman beats Hampton 57-52

HAMPTON, Va. — Albert Abrahams scored 17 points, including sinking a pair of free throws with 6 seconds left, to help Bethune-Cookman hold off Hampton 57-52 on Saturday.

The Wildcats were up 55-49 with 18 seconds left, but after Brandon Tunnell missed a jumper for Hampton, Darrion Pellum converted a three-point play to pull the Pirates within 55-52 with 8 seconds left.

CJ Reed added 16 points, six rebounds and four steals for the Wildcats (12-7, 5-1 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference), who have won consecutive games and five of their last six.

The Wildcats jumped out to a 21-9 lead, holding on despite blowing that advantage early in the second half.

Bethune-Cookman outscored Hampton 30-18 in the paint.

Vincent Simpson scored 17 points for Hampton (5-13, 2-4).
