NO. 1 GONZAGA 86,
PACIFIC 66
STOCKTON, Calif. -- Brandon
Clarke had 21 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks, and No. 1 Gonzaga
extended the nation's longest winning streak to 19 games, thumping Pacific
86-66 on Thursday night.
Rui Hachimura added
27 points and Zach Norvell Jr. scored 12 for the Bulldogs (28-2, 15-0 West
Coast Conference).
Back atop the rankings for the first time since December,
the Zags had little trouble against the Tigers and inched closer to a fifth
unbeaten conference record in 20 seasons under Coach Mark Few. The Bulldogs
close out the WCC schedule Saturday at Saint Mary's.
Roberto
Gallinat scored 23 points for Pacific (13-17, 3-12).
No. 9 MICHIGAN 82, NEBRASKA 53
Jon Teske scored
a career-high 22 points, and Michigan easily rebounded from its loss to
Michigan State with a convincing victory over Nebraska.
The Wolverines (25-4, 14-4 Big Ten) were without Charles
Matthews, out with a right ankle injury, but they raced out to a
22-point halftime lead behind Teske and Iggy Brazdeikis. It was the last home
game for Michigan, which finishes the regular season with trips to Maryland and
Michigan State.
The Wolverines lost only once at home in 2018-19 -- 77-70 to
Michigan State on Sunday.
Brazdeikis finished with 20 points.
Nana Akenten scored
11 points for Nebraska (15-14, 5-13) but took a hard fall in the second half
near the basket.
NO. 24 WOFFORD 80, CHATTANOOGA 54
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- Fletcher
Magee scored 18 points and Wofford made a successful debut as
an AP Top 25 team by trouncing Chattanooga for its 16th consecutive victory.
Wofford, a private liberal arts college in Spartanburg,
South Carolina, with fewer than 1,600 students, moved into the Top 25 for the
first time in school history Monday. The Terriers (25-4, 17-0 Southern
Conference) haven't lost since falling 98-87 at Mississippi State on Dec. 19.
Donovann
Toatley scored 16 and David
Jean-Baptiste and Ramon Vila each
had 10 for Chattanooga (12-18, 7-10).
CALIFORNIA 76, No. 25 WASHINGTON 73
BERKELEY, Calif. -- Darius
McNeill scored 19 points and Connor
Vanover added 18 to help California snap a 23-game losing
streak in Pac-12 play by beating Washington.
The Golden Bears (6-22, 1-15) had lost 16 straight games
overall and hadn't won a conference game since beating Oregon State on Feb. 3,
2018, including a loss in the Pac-12 Tournament last March.
This was by far the biggest win in coach Wyking Jones' two
years at Cal and could quiet calls for him to lose his job at least for a bit.
The Huskies (22-6, 13-2) had won 15 of 16 games coming into
this matchup and still ended up earning the outright regular season conference
title when both Oregon State and Arizona State lost.
David Crisp scored
32 points to lead Washington, but missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer at
the buzzer to set off a rare celebration at Haas Pavilion.
