CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Kennedy Meeks had 19 points and 12 rebounds, Justin Jackson added 18 points and No. 6 North Carolina defeated Davidson 90-72 on Saturday to remain unbeaten.

The Tar Heels (3-0) got 13 points from Marcus Paige and 10 points and seven rebounds from J.P. Tokoto for their first road win of the season.

Meeks was 9 of 13 from the field as taller and more athletic Tar Heels outshot Davidson 47 percent to 33 percent.

North Carolina held a double-digit lead for the entire second half, then began to pull away late.

The Tar Heels outrebounded the Wildcats 51-42.

Peyton Aldridge had six 3-pointers and finished with 25 points to lead Davidson (2-1). Tyler Kalinowski added 12 points for the Wildcats.

The game was played at Time Warner Cable Arena, home of the NBA's Charlotte Hornets, who are owned by former Tar Heel standout Michael Jordan.

RHODE ISLAND 66, No. 21 NEBRASKA 62, OT

SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. -- E.C. Mathews scored 26 points, including six in overtime, to help the University of Rhode Island upset Nebraska.

Jared Terrell added 12 points, including two 3-pointers in the extra session to the delight of the sellout crowd.

Mathews added 10 rebounds as the Rams outrebounded the Cornhuskers 48-35.

Terrell made a 3-pointer in the opening minute of the extra session to put the Rams back on top, and this time that's where they would stay, thanks to another 3 by Terrell, a free throw by T.J. Buchanan and Matthews' last five points, all from the free throw line.

Shavon Shields had 25 points and nine rebounds to lead Nebraska.

No. 22 SMU 77, EASTERN WASHINGTON 68

DALLAS -- Nic Moore scored 22 points, Keith Frazier added a career-high 17 and SMU bounced back from a pair of losses on the road to beat Eastern Washington.

A former Dallas high school standout who was the first big recruit for Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown with the Mustangs, Frazier scored seven straight SMU points early in the second half to help build a 13-point lead.

The Mustangs (2-2) were coming off road losses to No. 13 Gonzaga and Indiana that were likely to drop them out of the Top 25. It was the first of seven straight games at renovated Moody Coliseum, where SMU is 14-1 since it reopened last season.

Tyler Harvey scored 24 points to lead Eastern Washington (3-1).
