and maintained a double-digit lead the rest of the game.
NAU beat Fullerton, 77-60, back on Nov. 21 in Flagstaff.
Fullerton won the battle of the backboards, 40-27, and NAU made only 11

The Titans took an early 4-0 lead and never trailed. NAU tied the game
at 6-6 but the Titans responded with a 21-6 run keyed by two 3-pointers
by Brown and one by King.
A total of 14 NBA scouts were in attendance, watching Sow after spending

Pond.
Fullerton next plays at USC on Tuesday night.
