DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — JD Notae scored 20 points with nine rebounds and five assists and Jacksonville beat Bethune-Cookman 79-71 on Saturday night to win its fourth straight.

Jace Hogan scored 18 points and Jalyn Hinton grabbed 10 rebounds and blocked four shots for the Dolphins (7-5), who held the Wildcats to 37-percent shooting and outscored them 44-38 in the paint.
