BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - James Collins scored a game-high 20 points and Sredrick Powe added 15 points and 10 rebounds to lead Birmingham-Southern to a 68-56 victory over Liberty on Wednesday night.
It was the 15th straight home victory for the Panthers (18-6, 11-2 Big South Conference) who remain tied for first in the league with Winthrop.
Larry Blair led Liberty (6-19, 2-10) with 18 points while Anthony Smith added 12 and Evan Risher scored 10 points.
Collins was 6-of-8 from 3-point range and is now 26 points shy of 1,000 career points.
Birmingham-Southern led by 18 with 4:09 to play, but Liberty closed the gap to 62-54, thanks in part to a pair of 3s from Smith.
But Ed Horton, who scored 11 points for the Panthers, converted two free throws and two layups in the final 1:43 to seal the win.
