NO. 4 KENTUCKY 66,
MISSOURI 58
COLUMBIA, Mo. -- PJ Washington and Tyler Herro scored
18 points each as fourth-ranked Kentucky slogged past Missouri 66-58 on Tuesday
night.
Ashton Hagans added
12 points for the Wildcats (22-4, 11-2 Southeastern Conference), who looked a
little sluggish three days after beating then top-ranked Tennessee. But
Kentucky was good enough defensively to hold the Tigers to 37 percent shooting
from the field.
Ronnie Suggs scored
13 and Jordan Geist finished
with 11 for Missouri (12-13, 3-10).
NO. 5 TENNESSEE 58, VANDERBILT 46
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Grant
Williams had 14 points and 11 rebounds, and Tennessee beat
Vanderbilt in the Volunteers' first game since losing their No. 1 ranking.
Tennessee (24-2, 12-1 Southeastern Conference) bounced back
from its first loss since Thanksgiving week, an 86-69 defeat at No. 4 Kentucky
on Saturday to snap a school-record 19-game winning streak.
Vanderbilt (9-17, 0-13) dropped its 14th straight, matching
the longest skid in school history. Vanderbilt had a 14-game losing streak that
began in the 1934-35 season and carried over to the next season.
Both teams posted their lowest point totals of the season.
Vanderbilt shot just 32.1 percent (18 of 56) overall and 23.5 percent (8 of 34)
in the second half.
NO. 15 PURDUE 48, INDIANA 46
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Matt Haarms tipped
in a basket with 3.2 seconds remaining to lift Purdue over Indiana.
Ryan Cline had
11 points, and Haarms finished with six for the Boilermakers (19-7, 12-3 Big
Ten), who have won three straight at Assembly Hall for the first time in school
history.
It didn't come easily. Indiana's Romeo
Langford scored 14 points despite not taking a shot in the
second half, and Juwan Morgan's
3-pointer grazed the rim at the buzzer. Morgan had nine points and 11 rebounds
as Indiana (13-13, 4-11) lost its fourth straight overall and fifth in a row in
the series.
NO. 16 FLORIDA STATE 77, CLEMSON 64
CLEMSON, S.C. -- Mfiondu
Kabengele had 19 points and 11 rebounds, and Florida State set
a program record with its eighth consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference victory
in a win over Clemson.
The Seminoles (21-5, 9-4 ACC) had not won this many
consecutive league games since joining the conference before the 1991-92
season. They won 11 straight Metro Conference games in 1977-78.
Florida State used its size, strength and speed to keep the
run going against the Tigers, holding on after seeing an 18-point edge cut to
59-52 with eight minutes left. That's as close as Clemson (15-11, 5-8) would
get in dropping its third in a row and getting swept by Florida State for the
second time in three seasons.
BAYLOR 73, NO. 19 IOWA STATE 69
AMES, Iowa -- Jared Butler scored
17 points, Freddie
Gillespie had 14 and Baylor upset Iowa State.
Makia Mason scored 14 points on 18 shots in his return from
a toe injury for the Bears (17-9, 8-5 Big 12). They outrebounded Iowa State
44-28 and grabbed 18 offensive rebounds over the smaller Cyclones, who've
dropped back-to-back games at Hilton Coliseum.
After trailing by 10 points midway through the first half,
Iowa State went ahead 52-50 on Marial Shayok's
three-point play with 11:45 left. Baylor swapped the lead with the Cyclones
(19-7, 8-5) seven times in the next eight minutes, but Butler followed a layup
with a 3 to put the Bears ahead 69-65 with two minutes left.
Iowa State's Cameron Lard then
fumbled an entry pass from Shayok, and Mason hit two free throws to make it
71-65 with 35.3 seconds to go.
NO. 24 MARYLAND 66, NO. 21 IOWA 65
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Bruno
Fernando scored 11 points, including the last two on a put back
with 7.8 seconds left, to lift Maryland to a win over Iowa.
Maryland (20-7, 11-5 Big Ten) gave up an 11-point lead over
the final four minutes, but held on against an Iowa team that had won its last
two games via buzzer-beater and had two looks at the basket in the final seven
seconds. The Terrapins got 17 points from Anthony Cowan, who shot 5 of 10 from
3-point range and had eight rebounds. Eric Ayala added
11 points and Fernando had 11 rebounds.
Iowa (20-6, 9-6) saw its four-game winning streak end. The
Hawkeyes were led by Jordan
Bohannon, who had 14 points, and Isaiah Moss,
who added 12 points and 10 rebounds.
NO. 25 BUFFALO 114, OHIO 67
AMHERST, N.Y. -- Jayvon Graves scored
a career-high 26 points and Buffalo used a record-setting shooting performance
to cruise to a win over Ohio for its 23rd straight home win.
CJ Massinburg (23
points), Jeenathan
Williams (13 points, eight rebounds) Montell McRae (11
points, seven rebounds) and Graves led the way for the Bulls, who set school
records for 3-pointers made (19) and point scored against a Division I
opponent.
The Bulls (23-3, 11-2 Mid-American Conference) have won four
straight and tied a team record for regular season victories set last season.
Their 23-game home win streak is tied with Tennessee for the second-longest in
the country.
Jason Carter led
Ohio (11-14) with 16 points.
