Maryland rolls past No. 21 Northwestern
Jahmir Young scored 18 points and Don Carey added 13 to help Maryland wrap up an undefeated home season in Big Ten play with a 75-59 victory over No. 21 Northwestern on Sunday.
The Terrapins (20-9, 117) finished 16-1 overall at home in Kevin Willard's first season as their coach, and they used unusually impressive 3-point shooting to turn back the Wildcats (20-9, 11-7). Maryland's win also clinched at least a share of the Big Ten title for No. 5 Purdue.
The Boilermakers (245, 13-5) now have a record 25 Big Ten championships, three more than Indiana, which is one of several teams that can still tie Purdue at the top this year. Remarkably, Maryland and Northwestern also are in that group.
Chase Audige led Northwestern with 16 points. NO. 20 PROVIDENCE 88, GEORGETOWN 68 >> Ed Croswell scored a career-high 25 points and the visiting Friars easily dispatched the last-place Hoyas despite leading scorer Bryce Hopkins matching his season low with six points.
Providence (21-8, 13-5 Big East) got double-digit performances from Jared Bynum, who had 18 points, and Noah Locke and Devin Carter, who each added 12. That helped Providence bounce back from its largest loss of the season — an 87-69 defeat at No. 18 UConn on Wednesday.
Primo Spears had 26 points to lead Georgetown (7-23, 2-17), which has lost 13 straight games against AP Top 25 teams. STANFORD 81, WASHINGTON 69 >> Spencer Jones hit four 3-pointers and scored 21 points on 7-of-13 shooting from the field, Brandon Angel added 14 points, seven rebounds and four assists and the host Cardinal (12-17, 6-12 Pac-12) snapped a three-game losing streak while ending a three-game winning streak by the Huskies (1614, 8-11).
Women
NO. 22 NORTH CAROLINA 45, NO. 11 DUKE 41 >> Three players scored nine points and the Tar Heels (20-9, 11-7) went 9 of 9 from the foul line in the fourth quarter to deny the Blue Demons a share of the ACC title.

NO. 1 SOUTH CAROLINA 73, GEORGIA 63 >> Aliyah Boston had 25 points and 11 rebounds as the host Gamecocks completed a perfect SEC season with a victory over the Bulldogs.
South Carolina (29-0, 16-0) won its 35th straight and its seventh SEC title in the past 10 seasons.
Georgia (20-10, 9-7) kept things uncomfortably close into the second quarter before the Gamecocks pulled away for their 17th straight victory in the series. Diamond Battles led the Bulldogs with 20 points.
NO. 6 IOWA 86, NO. 2 INDIANA 85 >> Caitlin Clark's buzzerbeating 3-pointer lifted the Hawkeyes at home over the Hoosiers.
Clark, who scored 34 points and added nine rebounds and nine assists, took the inbound pass with 1.5 seconds left, dribbled once, and took an offbalance shot from the right side that rolled in as the horn sounded.
Iowa (23-6, 15-3), denied a chance to share the Big Ten title after Tuesday's 96-68 loss to Maryland, snapped the 14-game winning streak of Indiana (26-2, 16-2) and finished in a tie with Maryland for second place.
Holmes led Indiana with 21 points.
NO. 10 NOTRE DAME 68, LOUISVILLE 65 >> Sonia Citron scored 27 points, including four key free throws in the final 1:20, and the Fighting Irish (24-4, 15-3) overcame a 33-24 halftime deficit and the loss of star guard Olivia Miles to a knee injury to beat the Cardinals (21-10, 12-6) and clinch the ACC regular-season title.
