St. John’s threes top Creighton
Greg Williams Jr. made seven three-pointers and scored a career-high 21 points as St. John’s slowed No. 10 Creighton with a surprising 91-71 rout on Sunday.
Rasheem Dunn had 19 points, a career-high 10 assists and six rebounds for the Red Storm (15-14, 4-12 Big East), who stopped a threegame skid. LJ Figueroa added 16 points and 12 rebounds, and Julian Champagnie scored 13.
One of the worst threepoint-shooting teams in the country, St. John’s went a season-best 14 for 22 from long range in its biggest victory under first-year coach Mike Anderson. It was the school’s first win over a top-10 team at Carnesecca Arena on campus since beating Bernard King and No. 7 Tennessee in December 1975.
at No. 11 Louisville 68, Virginia Tech 52: Jordan Nwora had 20 points and 12 rebounds, and Louisville moved into first place in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Cardinals (24-6, 15-4) rebounded from last week’s loss at No. 6 Florida State and took a half-game lead over the Seminoles, who swept the season series and hold the tiebreaker with two games to play.
at No. 23 Ohio State 77, No. 19 Michigan 63: Duane Washington Jr. tied a career high with 20 points and Ohio State surged late to beat Michigan. CJ Walker had 15 points, and brothers Andre and Kaleb Wesson each added 14 for the Buckeyes (20-9, 10-8 Big Ten). They have won three straight and eight of their last 10. Ohio State swept the season series and reached 20 wins for the third straight season. Franz Wagner had 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Wolverines (19-10, 10-8).
at No. 25 Houston 68, Cincinnati 55: Marcus Sasser scored 21 points — 12 in the second half — going five for 12 on three-pointers for Houston. Nate Hinton added 16 points and Caleb Mills added 15 for the Cougars (22-7, 12-4 American Athletic Conference).
