Wake Forest stuns No. 7 Duke in 2OT
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Brandon Childress shook off an awful shooting start and hit a tying 3-pointer late in regulation to help Wake Forest stun seventh-ranked Duke 113-101 in double overtime on Tuesday night.
Childress missed his first 10 shots before hitting the tying 3 with 15.5 seconds left in regulation. And once the game went into a second extra period, Childress buried another on the first possession to put the Demon Deacons (12-15, 5-12 Atlantic Coast Conference) ahead to stay, sending them to their first win against the Blue Devils in nearly six years.
He finished with 17 points, five rebounds and five assists. Childress made six of his last 10 shots and scored 13 points in the two overtimes.
When it was over, Wake Forest fans stormed the court to celebrate their first win against Duke since March 2014. Childress got carried around the court on shoulders. NO. 2 BAYLOR 85, KANSAS STATE 66
In Waco, Texas, Matt Mayer scored 19 points to lead five Baylor players in double figures, and the Bears quickly recovered from their first Big 12 loss, beating Kansas State.
The Bears (25-2, 14-1 Big 12) jumped out to an 11-2 lead in the first five minutes and never trailed. That came three days after losing at home to now-No. 1 Kansas, a 64-61 setback at home that ended their conference-record 23-game winning streak and their five-week run as the nation’s top-ranked team.
NO. 4 DAYTON 62, GEORGE MASON 55
In Fairfax, Va., Obi Toppin had 19 points and seven rebounds as Dayton survived a sluggish performance to beat George Mason and clinch at least a share of the Atlantic 10 regular-season title with three games to play.
Toppin, a redshirt sophomore and one of the leading candidates for National Player of the Year, scored 13 of his 19 points after halftime for the Flyers (26-2, 15-0 Atlantic 10), who own the country’s longest winning streak at 17 games.
NO. 8 KENTUCKY 69, TEXAS A&M 60
In College Station, Texas, Immanuel Quickley had a career-high 30 points and made eight 3-pointers, also a career-best, to lead Kentucky past Texas A&M for its seventh straight win.
Quickley is the first Kentucky (23-5, 12-2 Southeastern Conference) player with consecutive games with at least 25 points since Malik Monk in 2017. The sophomore scored 26 in a win over Florida on Saturday.
NO. 15 AUBURN 67, MISSISSIPPI 58
In Auburn, Ala., Austin Wiley had 15 points and 11 rebounds and Auburn withstood Mississippi’s rally attempts.
The Tigers (24-4, 11-4 Southeastern Conference) benefited from the return of Isaac Okoro, who missed the past three games with a hamstring injury, and remained unbeaten at home.
NO. 24 MICHIGAN STATE 78, NO. 18 IOWA 70
In East Lansing, Mich., Cassius Winston scored 19 of his 20 points in the second half and Rocket Watts matched a career high with 21 points, helping Michigan State rally past Iowa.
OKLAHOMA 65, NO. 22 TEXAS TECH 51
In Oklahoma City, Kristian Doolittle scored 19 points and Brady Manek added 15 as Oklahoma beat Texas Tech to snap a three-game skid.
