HAMMOND, La. (AP) JaMichael Hawkins hit six 3-pointers and scored 29 points to lead Southeastern Louisiana to a 93-81 win over New Orleans on Wednesday night.

Southeastern Louisiana shot 56.7 percent, and the 93 points is its third highest total this season.

Christavious Gill scored 21 points for New Orleans (9-16, 5-9). Nate Frye added 18 and Kevin Hill had 17 for the Privateers.
