SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) Isaiah Johnson had 19 points, six rebounds and five assists, Josh Williams hit four 3-pointers and scored 16 points and Akron beat Air Force 84-75 on Friday night in the Savannah Invitational.

Johnson made 7 of 10 from the field and Antino Jackson scored 15 for the Zips, who have won four in a row.

A 3-pointer by Jacob Van pulled Air Force within four with 4:35 to play, but Jackson scored 11 points as Akron (4-1) made 12 of 16 from the free throw line from there to seal it.
