Baylor rolls up another big win
Davion Mitchell made seven three-pointers while scoring a career-high 31 points, MaCio Teague added 18 points and No. 2 Baylor got another lopsided victory over Kansas State, 107-59, on Wednesday night.
After last month becoming the first opponent since 1992 to score 100 points at Kansas State in a 31-point victory, the Bears (15-0, 8-0 Big 12) jumped out to a 31point lead in the first 111⁄2 minutes in the rematch.
Baylor hadn’t scored 100 points twice against an opponent in the same season since 1978-79 against Texas Christian. It was the Bears’ second-largest margin of victory ever in a Big 12 game.
at No. 13 Ohio St. 83, Penn State 79: E.J. Liddell scored 22 points, including the tiebreaking free throws with 59.7 seconds left, and Ohio State (13-4, 7-4 Big Ten), which squandered a 12-point first-half lead but rallied from a seven-point deficit in the second, won the fourth time in five games.
No. 14 Wisconsin 61, at
Maryland 55: Micah Potter had 23 points and 12 rebounds and Wisconsin escaped after blowing most of an 18-point halftime lead. D’Mitrik Trice added 13 to help the Badgers (13-4, 7-3 Big Ten) avenge a surprise loss to Maryland last month and bounce back from a home defeat to Ohio State over the weekend.
No. 17 Creighton 85, at
Seton Hall 81: Mitch Ballock hit a go-ahead three-pointer with 41 seconds to play to cap a season-high 29-point performance and Creighton (12-4, 8-3 Big East) erased a 16-point second-half deficit.
No. 20 Virginia Tech 62, at Notre Dame 51: Nahiem Alleyne led four Virginia Tech (12-3, 6-2 ACC) players in double figures with 15 points.
Clemson 54, No. 25 Louisville 50: Aamir Simms had 16 points, Al-Amir Dawes added 15 and Clemson (10-4, 4-4 ACC) turned up the defense to stop a three-game losing streak.
at Colorado 70, Washington State 58: McKinley Wright IV scored 10 of his 16 points in the final eight-plus minutes and Jeriah Horne hit three of five from threepoint range and finished with 15 points to lead Colorado (13-4, 7-3 Pac-12).
