LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Zack Bryant had 26 points, seven steals and four assists as UAB rallied from an early 15-point deficit to beat Canisius 68-58 in the seventh-place game.

After Canisius got within two late, Bell hit a three and Bryant had a lay up during a 7-0 run that made it 65-56.
Takal Molson had 15 points and Scott Hitchon added 13 for Canisius (1-5).
