PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas (AP) — Andrew Andrews had 30 points and 13 rebounds and Washington rallied in the second half to slip past Charlotte 71-66 Friday in the seventh-place game at the Battle 4 Atlantis.
Noah Dickerson added 13 points and nine rebounds.
The Huskies (4-2) didn't get their first lead until there was less than 13 minutes to play in the game, then held off the 49ers down the stretch by connecting on 19 of 25 free throws.
Charlotte (1-5) played its most energized game of the tournament, but seemed to run out of gas, missing eight consecutive field goals at one point.
Jon Davis and Bernard Sullivan led the Huskies with 14 points apiece.
The Huskies used a 7-0 spurt to take their first lead of the game, 48-46.
After a handful of lead changes, Washington got a little cushion at 65-56 with 3:33 to play.
Charlotte then missed eight straight shots before finally breaking the drought on a 3-pointer by Davis.
Washington's Andrews came up empty on a trip to the free-throw line, and Charlotte's Davis scored on a driving layup to trim the deficit to 67-64 with under a minute left.
Andrews went 1 for 2 on his next trip to the line, and the Huskies corralled a long 3-point miss on Charlotte's next trip up the floor to help close it out.
Charlotte started fast and led by as many as seven in the first half, despite 12 turnovers.
The 49ers racked up 22 points in the paint in the opening 20 minutes and shot 50 percent from the field, with assists on 10 of their 15 baskets.
