- Wire reports

Malachi Flynn scored 22 points, Yanni Wetzell added 14 and No. 4 San Diego State beat Boise State 72-55 Sunday to remain undefeated.

The Aztecs (26-0, 1 5 - 0 Mountain West Conference) won in Boise for the first time since Jan. 16, 2016. They had little trouble handing the Broncos their first conference loss at home this season.

Boise State entered the game on an 11-game home winning streak but struggled to find any rhythm on offense and finished the game shooting 41.2% from the field.

After wrapping up the Mountain West regular season title on Tuesday with a victory over New Mexico State, San Diego State didn't show any signs of let down.

NO. 15 VILLANOVA 76, TEMPLE 56: Collin Gillespie scored a season-high 29 points to lead Villanova over Philadelph­ia rival Temple. Jermaine Samuels added 13 points and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl had 10 for Villanova (196), which won its seventh straight game over Temple while finishing 4-0 in the Big 5.

NO .21 IOWA 58, MINNESOTA 55: Luka Garza scored 24 points, Ryan Kreiner added 10 points and Iowa came

back to beat Minnesota. Minnesota's Daniel Oturu missed the front end of a 1- and -1 free-throw attempt with a chance to tie it with 3.8 seconds left and the Hawkeyes (18-8, 9-6 Big Ten) came away with a rare road win in conference play. Oturu scored 15 points and Marcus Carr added 10 points, eight rebounds and six assists for Minnesota.
