Box Score WATCH HIGHLIGHTS
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. --
Cole Dickerson had 24 points and 10 rebounds while junior De'End Parker added 18 points to pace USF to a 94-57 victory over UNC-Pembroke in an exhibition contest at War Memorial Gymnasium on Monday evening.
The Dons shot 59.7 percent from the floor and made 11-of-21 three-pointers in their final tuneup before the season-opener on Friday night against Stanford at Oracle Arena.
Freshman Tim Derksen added 14 and
Cody Doolin finished with 10 as 11 different players got into the scoring column for
Rex Walters' team.
Quamain Ross led the Braves in scoring with 11 points. UNC Pembroke held a 38-36 advantage on the boards.
USF blew this game open early. Holding a 13-10 lead at the 11:59 mark of the first half, the Dons outscored the Braves, 40-11 to build a 53-21 lead at intermission.
The Dons led by as many as 40 points in the second half.
"There were a lot of positives but we aren't where we need to be just yet," said Walters. "I thought they were really tired after last night's game at Stanford.
"Dickerson was really good again tonight. He can score and rebound in a lot of different ways -- almost like he has a sixth sense."
USF opens the regular season Friday night against the Stanford Cardinal at Oracle Arena. Tip time is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. and the game will be televised live on the Pac-12 Network.
