No. 2 DUKE 71, No.
16 LOUISVILLE 69
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Cam Reddish made
a tying 3-pointer with 1:28 left and the go-ahead free throws with 14 seconds
remaining, helping No. 2 Duke overcome a 23-point second-half deficit to beat
No. 16 Louisville 71-69 on Tuesday night.
After making 2 of 17 shots to open the second half, the Blue
Devils (22-2, 10-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) got hot and shut down the
Cardinals over the final 9:54. Zion
Williamson (27 points, 12 rebounds) ignored foul trouble and
instead drew whistles in his favor, making 8 of 9 from the line before Reddish
added a couple of 3s in between free throws -- the last two of which followed
an official review of a play under Duke's basket.
Christen
Cunningham tried to tie it for Louisville (17-8, 8-4), but his
jumper in the lane bounced off the rim and into Williamson's hands as the final
seconds ticked off. The Blue Devils celebrated as they left the court after
completing the second-biggest second-half comeback in program history.
No. 19 LSU 73, No. 5 KENTUCKY 71
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Kavell
Bigby-Williams's tip-in at the buzzer lifted LSU to a win over
Kentucky.
With the game tied after Keldon
Johnson made two free throws with 6 seconds left, Skylar Mays drove
the length of the court. His shot missed but Bigby-Williams got the offensive
rebound and scored to give the Tigers their first win over the Wildcats since
2009. It was just the sixth time ever that LSU (20-4, 10-1 Southeastern
Conference) has beaten Kentucky (20-4, 10-2).
Tremont
Waters, who finished with 15 points to lead the Tigers, hit two free
throws with 20 seconds left to give LSU a two-point lead before Johnson's free
throws tied it.
Naz Reid and Emmitt
Williams scored 12 each and Mays had 11 for the Tigers.
PENN STATE 75, No. 6 MICHIGAN 69
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Lamar Stevens scored
15 of his 26 points in the first half and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead Penn
State to an upset of Michigan.
Penn State pulled away in the first half as its star heated
up and Michigan played the second without its coach.
Michigan coach John Beilein received back-to-back technical
fouls and was ejected for arguing with officials as the teams entered the
locker rooms after the first half.
The usually mild-mannered Beilein appeared to be upset after
Penn State guard Jamari
Wheeler barreled over Zavier
Simpson to free up Rasir Bolton's
buzzer-beating layup. Beilein needed to be calmed down by assistants DeAndre
Haynes and Saddi Washington as he approached the scorer's table to argue, then
again after he was assessed another violation as he was walking away.
Myles Dread chipped
in 17 points, hitting five 3-pointers, for the Nittany Lions (9-15, 2-11 Big
Ten). The win snapped Penn State's eight-game skid against Michigan.
Charles
Matthews scored 24 points and Jordan Poole added
17 for the Wolverines (22-3, 11-3) who never led after the first 2:24.
No. 10 MARQUETTE 92, DEPAUL 73
CHICAGO -- Markus Howard scored
36 points, Sam Hauser had
17 and Marquette cruised by DePaul.
Howard went 12 for 21 from the field and 8 for 10 at the
free-throw line in another impressive performance. He has scored at least 30
points in four of his last five games.
Sacar Anim added
12 points as Marquette (21-4, 10-2 Big East) won its second straight game since
a disappointing 70-69 loss to St. John's.
It was mostly smooth sailing for the Golden Eagles all night
long. Hauser went to the locker room after he was poked in his right eye with
6:51 left, but he returned to the bench to watch the final minute with his jubilant
teammates.
Femi Olujobi scored
19 points for DePaul (13-10, 5-7), and Max Strus had
16
No. 11 MICHIGAN STATE 67, No. 20 WISCONSIN 59
MADISON, Wis. -- Cassius
Winston scored 23 points to help Michigan State beat Wisconsin.
In doing so, the Michigan State (20-5, 11-3 Big Ten) star
outdueled Wisconsin's Ethan Happ,
who scored 20 points and grabbed 12 rebounds.
At times, the game seemed like a contest between the two
heavyweights as Winston seemed to answer every Happ hook shot with a floater or
3-pointer.
But Wisconsin (17-7, 9-4) staggered at home, going more than
five minutes without a point as the Spartans put the game away.
No. 24 MARYLAND 70, No. 12 PURDUE 56
COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Jalen Smith scored
14 of his 16 points in the second half, and Maryland used a strong defensive
performance to beat Purdue, ending the Boilermakers' eight-game winning streak.
Down by eight at halftime, the Terrapins (19-6, 10-4 Big
Ten) took the lead for the first time with 10 minutes left before pulling away.
The comeback was fueled by Smith, Eric Alaya and fellow freshman Aaron Wiggins.
Maryland outscored Purdue 40-18 in the second half, limiting
the Boilermakers to 1-for-16 shooting from beyond the arc.
Ayala scored 15, Anthony Cowan Jr. added 12 and Fernando
Bruno had 12 points and 12 rebounds, his seventh straight double-double and
16th of the season. Wiggins scored 11 on 4-of-6 shooting.
Carsen
Edwards scored 24 for Purdue (17-7, 10-3), but was limited to
seven points after halftime on 2-for-13 shooting. The Boilermakers went 6 for
36 from the floor in the second half.
No. 18 KANSAS STATE 71, TEXAS 64
AUSTIN, Texas -- Barry Brown and Xavier Sneed each
scored 16 points, and Kansas State beat Texas for its ninth straight Big 12
victory.
Three other Wildcats scored in double figures, Dean Wade with
12 points, and Kamau Stokes
and Makol Mawien with
11 apiece.
Kerwin Roach led Texas (14-11, 6-6 Big 12) with 17 points,
and Courtney
Ramey added 10.
Kansas State (19-5, 9-2 in Big 12) converted nearly 55
percent of its field goal attempts, including 56.5 in the second half.
No. 25 BUFFALO 76, AKRON 70
AKRON, Ohio -- CJ Massinburg scored
21 points, Dontay
Caruthers added 15 and Buffalo turned up its defensive
intensity in the second half and held on to beat Akron, dropping the Zips to
0-31 against ranked teams.
The Bulls (21-3, 9-2 Mid-American Conference) were held to
one of the lowest point totals this season, but the defending conference
champions were able to do enough against the Zips (14-10, 6-5), ranked 13th
nationally in scoring defense.
Caruthers came off the bench and gave the Bulls some solid
minutes at both ends, drawing a charging foul during a key second-half stretch
for Buffalo, which forced two 30-second clock violations after halftime.
Loren
Cristian Jackson scored 20 and Tyler Cheese 16
for the Zips, who kept fighting and closed within 73-70 on Daniel Utomi's
3-pointer with 16.3 seconds left.
