DURHAM, N.H. (AP) Tanner Leissner scored 19 points, pulled down 12 rebounds and New Hampshire dominated from the opening tip, defeating Bryant 75-59 on Saturday.

Reed grabbed a defensive rebound after Bryant's first shot didn't fall, and Camara tipped in a Leissner miss and New Hampshire quickly built a 7-0 lead that it never lost.
