The Cougars were led by redshirt freshman guard Caleb Mills, who had a game-high 23 points in the win that included 10 points in the final 6:08 of the second half, which helped seal the win.
Sophomore guard Nate Hinton had his seventh double-double of the season in that game with 10 points and 13 rebounds.
