No. 9 Texas A&M 78, Texas-Rio Grande Valley 60

Men No. 3 Michigan State 81, No. 5 Notre Dame 63

Joshua Langford scored 12 of his 17 points in the first half to help Michigan State take a huge lead it was able to restore in the second half against Notre Dame in a victory Thursday night. The Spartans (6-1) have won five straight, including a rout against then-No. 9 North Carolina, since losing to top-ranked Duke. The Fighting Irish (6-1) trailed by 20 at halftime and cut their deficit to seven with 13:09 left, but couldn't get closer against a team with a lot of options on offense that is defending and rebounding as if it is in mid-season form under Hall of Fame coach Tom Izzo. Michigan State's Cassius Winston had 17 points and seven assists, Miles Bridges scored 14 points. Notre Dame's Bonzie Colson had 11 of his 17 points in the second half and Rex Pflueger scored 15. Matt Farrell was scoreless in the first half and finished with 10 points. Texas A&M junior guards D.J. Hogg and Admon Gilder scored 17 points each and the Aggies opened the game on a 16-0 run. The Vaqueros cut the Aggies' lead to 57-50 on a short jumper by Mike Hoffman with 7:30 remaining, but the Aggies quickly responded on the other end when Tyler Davis found Tonny Trocha-Morelos wide open under the basket for a dunk and the start of a 9-0 run.

No. 19 West Virginia 102, NJIT 69

Jevon Carter scored 25 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead West Virginia. Carter had his five steals that made him WVU's all-time leader with 255, Lexie Brown and Rebecca Greenwell scored 19 points each to help Duke beat Ohio State in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. Erin Mathias had 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Blue Devils (6-1), who won after giving up a 17-point lead in the second half. Duke led 52-35 before Ohio State answered with a 22-5 run to tie the game early in the fourth quarter. But Greenwell hit a driving layup to spark a 9-0 spurt by the Blue Devils, and Ohio State scored just three points in the final nine minutes. Kelsey Mitchell scored 24 points on 9-of-27 shooting to lead Ohio State (7-2), which shot 32 percent from the floor.

No. 9 Baylor 90, No. 20 Kentucky 63

Kristy Wallace scored 15 of her 20 points in the first half and Baylor held Kentucky without a field goal in the third quarter on the way to a victory in the Big 12/SEC Challenge. The Lady Bears outscored the Wildcats 23-6 in that decisive quarter, with Kentucky (6-1) missing all 13 of its shots from the floor while losing for the first time.
