The Tigers (17-6, 7-3) were led by Johni Broome with 11 and K.D. Johnson off the bench with 10 points. Auburn only managed 24% from the field and 11% from long range.

Sir’Jabari Rice also had 14 points for the Longhorns (19-4, 8-2 Big 12), and his two free throws with nine seconds left forced the Wildcats (18-5, 6-4) into needing a 3-pointer to send the game to overtime.
No. 13 Iowa State 68, No. 8 Kansas 53:
Jaren Holmes scored 15 points and his former St. Bonaventure teammate Osun Osunniyi added 13 for the host Cyclones (16-6, 7-3 Big 12), who ended a two-game slide.

No. 11 Baylor 89, Texas Tech 62: Jalen Bridges had 18 points with eight rebounds, big man Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua played for the first time since a gruesome knee injury last season, and the Bears (17-6, 6-4 Big 12) won in Waco, Texas.

Caleb Asberry added 19 points and John-Michael Wright had 17 for Oklahoma State. The Cowboys have won three straight and five of six to move back into the conversation for a potential NCAA Tournament berth. TCU has struggled since its leading scorer, Mike Miles Jr., suffered a hyperextended right knee just more than a week ago. TCU also was minus injured big man Eddie Lampkin Jr.

Adama Sanogo and Tristen Newton each scored 15 and Alex Karaban knocked down two late 3-pointers for the Huskies (18-6, 7-6 Big East) in Washington. Despite leading for most of the game, the heavily favored Huskies needed a late 8-1 run to earn a season sweep of the Hoyas.
