HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – The Point University men's basketball team fell 117-64 in an exhibition on the road to the NCAA Division II and sixth-ranked University of Alabama in Huntsville late this afternoon. The Skyhawks had three players with 10 or more points, with Cahlib Edwards pacing all three with 17 points.

Robert Harris connected on the first three-pointer of the game for Point, but the Chargers countered with one of their own.  UAH pushed its lead to 30-9 with 11:24 remaining on the clock, but the Skyhawks chipped away at the lead to cut it in half and trail 30-15. The Chargers, after that, kept Point at arm's reach as they went on to take a 65-30 lead into the locker room at the half.
