Sincere Parker had 31 points to lead McNeese State past Longwood, 84-69, in a matchup of two NCAA Tournament teams from a year ago on Sunday night at the Paradise Jam in the Virgin Islands.

Emanuel Richards, Johan Nziemi and Michael Christmasall had double figures for the Lancers (6-1), but Parker and a swarming McNeese State (4-2) defense stymied every Lancer run in its tracks.

Christian Shumate and Joe Charles has 12 points apiece for McNeese.

The Lancers move to the third-place game in the Paradise Jam and will take on Kansas State on Monday at 5:30 p.m. ET.
