PITTSBURGH -- Carl Krauser scored 16 of his career-high 22 points in the second half to help No. 22 University of Pittsburgh beat Albany 83-54 Friday night.
Krauser shot 8-for-12 from the field and accounted for six of Pitt's 14 3-pointers. He scored at least 20 points for the third time in four games.
Julius Page scored 16 points, Antonio Graves added 11 and Chris Taft 10 for Pitt (4-0), which won its 25th straight home game, the fourth-longest streak in Division I.
Levi Levine scored 16 points for Albany (0-2).
No. 1 UConn 76, Utah 44
NEW YORK -- Connecticut's Pre-season NIT stumble turned out to be a temporary condition.
The Huskies played more like their No. 1 ranking, manhandling overmatched Utah to take third place in the tournament.
It was small consolation for UConn, stunned in the semifinals by Georgia Tech 77-61. The Yellow Jackets played Texas Tech for the championship in the late game Friday.
Emeka Okafor shrugged off his aching back to dominate inside as the Huskies demonstrated the resolve coach Jim Calhoun said was missing in their loss to Georgia Tech.
He was far too much for Utah (3-1) to handle, scoring 15 points in the first half, missing just one of eight shots.
No. 8 Florida 78, No. 4 Arizona 77
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- Bonell Colas' layup on an in-bounds pass with 7.3 seconds left -- his only points of the game -- gave Florida a victory over Arizona in the Tipoff Classic.
Colas, the 6-foot-9 senior starting center for the Gators (2-0), was limited to one minute in the first half because of foul trouble and he missed the only shot he took until making the game-winner on the inbounds pass from Christian Drejer.
No. 10 Kentucky 108, Tennessee Tech 81
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Gerald Fitch scored a career-high 36 points and Kentucky's starters fueled a late 26-4 run to lead the Wildcats past Tennessee Tech.
Kentucky (2-0) led the Golden Eagles 78-69 with 8:47 left when coach Tubby Smith called a time-out and put his five starters back in the game. When the starters returned to the bench with 3:28 left, Kentucky led 104-73.
No. 25 N.C. State 92, Florida A & amp;M 62
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Scooter Sherrill scored 22 points and Julius Hodge added 16 to lift North Carolina State to victory over Florida A & amp;M.
Levi Watkins scored 15 for the Wolfpack (3-0), who improved to 60-6 at home against nonconference opponents under eighth-year coach Herb Sendek.
