TENNESSEE 75, NO. 20 WASHINGTON 62

TORONTO — Jordan Bowden scored 15 of his 18 points in the first half, Lamonte Turner had 16 points and Tennessee upset No. 20 Washington 75-62 on Saturday in Toronto.

Yves Pons scored 15 points, John Fulkerson had 14 and Turner added seven rebounds and eight assists as the Volunteers improved to 3-0 and handed Washington its first loss in three games this season.

The game was the middle feature in the James Naismith Hall of Fame Classic, an NCAA triple header at Scotiabank Arena in downtown Toronto, home of the defending NBA-champion Raptors.

Washington, which began its season with a neutral-site win over ranked Baylor, didn’t fare so well north of the border, falling behind by as many as 14 against the Volunteers.

The Huskies struggled for the second straight game. Washington overcome an awful offensive first half to pull away for a 56-46 win over Mount St. Mary’s on Tuesday.

Nahziah Carter had 18 points and 12 rebounds, Isaiah Stewart had 14 points and 10 rebounds and Jaden McDaniels scored 15 for the Huskies.

Quade Green scored 10 points, but Washington struggled with its outside shooting, going 5 for 18 from 3-point range.

NO.7 MARYLAND 80, OAKLAND 50

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Darryl Morsell led a balanced attack with 14 points, and No. 7 Maryland used a strong defensive effort to power past Oakland.

Anthony Cowan Jr. contribute­d 11 points, seven assists and six rebounds for the Terrapins, Aaron Wiggins scored 10 and Jalen Smith added eight points and seven rebounds.

After opening with lopsided victories at home against Holy Cross and Rhode Island, Maryland is off a 3-0 start for the sixth year in a row. The Terps are 33-6 at home over the past two-plus seasons.

NO. 9 VIRGINIA 60, COLUMBIA 42

CHARLOTTES­VILLE, Va. — Mamadi Diakite and Jay Huff scored 13 points each and No. 9 Virginia beat Columbia.

Kihei Clark added 10 points for the Cavaliers (3-0), who led 31-17 at halftime and substitute­d liberally throughout the second half. Walk-on Chase Coleman and redshirt freshman Francisco Caffaro each scored the first points of their college careers late in the game.

Mike Smith scored 16 points to lead the Lions (13), whose point total was the highest Virginia has allowed this season.

NO. 10 VILLANOVA 78, OHIO 54

PHILADELPH­IA — Saddiq Bey scored 19 points and Justin Moore added 18 to lead No. 10 Villanova past Ohio.

Villanova (2-1) broke the game open with a 27-4 run in the final 6:36 of the half, turning a one-point deficit into a 43-21 lead. Bey and Moore combined for 9-for-12 shooting and 4 of 6 from beyond the 3-point line for 26 points.

The Wildcats finished 14 of 31 from long range. Ohio shot 3 of 20, with its first conversion from Ben Vander Plas three minutes into the second half.

NO. 13 MEMPHIS 102, ALCORN STATE 56

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Lester Quinones had 21 points and 10 rebounds and Precious Achiuwa added 20 points, sending No. 13 Memphis to a romp over Alcorn State.

Top recruit James Wiseman was sidelined because of eligibilit­y issues, but Memphis hardly missed him in bouncing back from its first defeat of the season, an 82-74 loss to Oregon on Tuesday night.

DJ Jeffries finished with 15 points and Tyler Harris and Lance Thomas added 11 each for Memphis (3-1). Isaiah Attles led Alcorn State (1-3) with 13 points while Troymain Crosby had 10.

Skylar Mays was the leading scorer for the Tigers (2-1) with 18 points. Trendon Watford scored 17 points — all but three in the first half — for LSU.

TOP 25 WOMEN NO. 1 OREGON 99, TEXAS SOUTHERN 63

EUGENE, Ore. — Texas Southern had its uniforms stolen before the game and any hope of an upset over No. 1 Oregon vanished quickly as Sabrina Ionescu and Ruthy Hebard were their usual dominant selves in leading No. 1 Oregon to a win.

The Tigers’ game jerseys were in a black duffel bag that was taken from a downtown hotel conference room, according to police. They were forced to wear practice uniforms with some players having taped numbers to the back of their maroon tops.

NO. 13 KENTUCKY 50, VIRGINIA 47

CHARLOTTES­VILLE, Va. — Sabrina Haines scored 17 points, Rhyne Howard had a double-double and Kentucky held off Virginia.

Jocelyn Willoughby’s 3-pointer pulled the Cavaliers with 48-47 with 44 seconds left and after a Kentucky timeout Willoughby stole the ball with 20.1 seconds to go. Virginia missed a 3-pointer with four seconds to go, Howard made two free throws with two seconds left, and the Cavs missed a tying shot.

NO. 20 SYRACUSE 75, ALBANY 53

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Emily Engstler had her second-straight double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds and No. 20 Syracuse used 10-point advantages in the second and fourth quarters to dispatch Albany.
