Shykeim had 18 second half points and UNCW allowed one field goal in the final 12:31 of the game

WILMINGTON, N.C. – UNCW's Shykeim Phillips scored 18 of his game-high 24 points in the second half as UNCW clamped down in the second half of its 73-54 win over visiting North Carolina A&T on Thursday at Trask Coliseum.
