layup attempt bounced off the rim, and Brown put it back, appearing to tie the game, but he was whistled for an over-the-back foul against Louisville’s Malik Williams.

Williams hit both free throws, securing the final margin of victory.

Louisville star junior Jordan Nwora was limited by Pitt’s defense, leading the Cardinals with 14 points, which tied for his second-smallest output of the season.

McGowens led an unexpected offensive charge from Pitt. He finished 8 of 22 for 24 points.

W. Virginia 81, TCU 49 In Morgantown, WVa, Derek Culver scored 17 points, West Virginia’s bench provided a huge lift on the offensive end and the Mountaineers stomped TCU.

The Mountaineers (14-2, 3-1 Big 12) are unbeaten in eight home games and have held 10 opponents this season to 60 points or less, including five straight.

TCU (12-4, 3-1) remains winless in Morgantown since joining the Big 12 in the 2012-13 season. The Horned Frogs missed a chance to take over sole possession of first place in the league and had their four-game winning streak snapped.

Miles McBride, Oscar Tshiebwe and Jermaine Haley added 11 points apiece for West Virginia.

R.J. Nembhard led TCU with 14 points and Desmond Bane added 13.

Dayton 79, VCU 65 In Dayton, Ohio, Obi Toppin scored 24 points on a tender ankle and led a 22-point run in the second half as Dayton pulled away from VCU, ending a streak of four straight losses to the Rams.

The Flyers (15-2, 4-0 Atlantic 10) got the better of a foul-filled match-up between the league’s top-scoring team and its peskiest defense, remaining unbeaten at home. Toppin had three dunks and a 3-pointer during the second-half run that broke it open.

VCU (12-5, 2-2) had won the last four against Dayton, all by five points or less, but faded after a back-andforth opening half that included three technical fouls. De’Riante Jenkins and Nah’Shon Hyland led VCU with 16

points apiece.

Jalen Crutcher added 20 points for Dayton, which shot 50% from the field.

Villanova 79, DePaul 75 In Villanova, Pa, Collin Gillespie made four straight free throws in overtime and scored 21 points, and Villanova survived a scare to beat DePaul for the 19th straight time.

The Wildcats (13-3, 4-1 Big East) trailed by 13 early and got a fight few expected from one of the perennial worst teams in the conference. DePaul’s Charlie Moore, who finished with 29 points, made one free throw and intentionally missed the second with about a second left in OT, but the Blue Demons failed to score.

DePaul (12-5, 0-4) trailed by 11 points with 2:14 left in regulation. Jalen Coleman-Lands connected on a corner 3 with 31.5 seconds to go that made it 67-65 and silenced the Villanova crowd, and Moore scored the tying basket after Villanova threw away the ball on the inbound play.

Wisconsin 56, Maryland 54 In Madison, Wisconsin, Brad Davison hit a 3-pointer with 11 seconds left after getting a steal and Wisconsin beat Maryland to pick up its third straight victory against a ranked opponent.

Davison finished with 14 points. Nate Reuvers scored 17 points and Micah Potter had 14 for the Badgers.

Jalen Smith scored 18 and Anthony Cowan Jr had 16 for the Terrapins (13-4, 3-3) who have lost two straight. Maryland suffered an 18-point defeat Friday at Iowa.

Ohio St 80, Nebraska 68 In Columbus, Ohio, C.J. Walker scored 18 points to help Ohio State beat Nebraska and snap a four-game skid.

The Buckeyes (12-5, 2-4 Big Ten) hadn’t won since before Christmas, but they took charge early and rolled over the Cornhuskers, whose transfer-heavy lineup is still learning to play together.

Ohio State played typically good defense and finally knocked down some shots, even without suspended guards Luther Muhammad and Duane Washington Jr available. That put the pressure on guards D.J. Carton and Walker, both of whom played most of the game. Carton finished with 13 points to go along with five assists.

Texas Tech 77, Kansas St 63 In Manhattan, Kansas, Kyler Edwards scored a career-high 24 points, Davide Moretti had 14 and Texas Tech used a late push to beat Kansas State.

The Red Raiders (11-5, 2-2 Big 12) led by 17 at one point, but the Wildcats rallied and led 46-45 with 13 minutes remaining. Kevin McCuller scored nine of his 10 points in the final 11:30 to help steady Texas Tech. Jahmi’us Ramsey also had 10 points.
