Vincent, Rowbatham Lead Charge for UNO

With leading scorer James White out with an injury, the Privateers got superb efforts from Turk Vincent and Kohen Rowbatham en route to an 82-73 victory at East Texas A&M.

New Orleans trailed 9-3 early but righted the ship, heading to the locker room at 35-35 and taking over the lead for most of the second half. Turk Vincent filled the void created by White's injury with a 28-point effort, including a spectacular 5-for-5 from beyond the arc. He also led the team in rebounds with 7.

Freshman Kohen Rowbatham added 24 points on 7-of-10 shooting, and fellow freshman M.J. Thomas had 13 to go along with 6 rebounds.

New Orleans (4-14, 2-5) has one more stop on its three-game road swing, heading to Northwestern State on Monday for a 1 p.m. tipoff, moved up due to impending frigid weather.
