Purdue snaps Wisconsin’s streak

-

Caleb Swanigan had 18 points and 13 rebounds to help No. 20 Purdue get past No. 13 Wisconsin 66-55 on Sunday in West Lafayette, Ind., ending the Badgers’ nine-game winning streak.

The Boilermake­rs (14-3, 3-1 Big Ten) have won nine of 10 overall and three straight in the series.

Ethan Happ had 17 points and Nigel Hayes had 10 for Wisconsin (13-3, 2-1).

Purdue used a 12-0 run midway in the second half to take control.

Allen still under scrutiny:

Duke star Grayson Allen has played two games since returning from his suspension for tripping an opponent, but he is back under scrutiny again.

After No. 8 Duke’s 93-82 win against Boston College on Saturday, the ACC released a statement saying, “there is nothing conclusive that can be determined as to whether Allen intentiona­lly made contact with an Eagles player using his leg or foot.”

The play occurred in the first half when Allen extended his left leg while trying to fight through a screen set by Boston College’s Connar Tava.

No call was made during the game, so no action is expected from the ACC.

Kentucky lands Diallo:

Five-star shooting guard Hamidou Diallo announced he will enroll at Kentucky next week.

While Diallo will enroll immediatel­y, he is likely to redshirt the spring semester and play as a freshman in the 2017-18 season. He is the second five-star prospect in the 2017 class to enroll early in college, although Austin Wiley enrolled at Auburn in December and played immediatel­y for the Tigers.

Diallo chose Kentucky over Connecticu­t, Arizona, Syracuse, Indiana and Kansas.

Butler grounded:

Butler’s team spent the night in Washington, D.C., after a mechanical issue Saturday grounded its charter flight back to Indianapol­is.

The team tweeted a statement that read: “The team never boarded our flight this evening. Mechanical issue has grounded the plane for tonight. We will fly home in the morning.”

The No. 18 Bulldogs defeated Georgetown, 85-76.
