-

BLOOMINGTO­N, Ind. - OG Anunoby scored 16 points, James Blackmon Jr. had 14 and Robert Johnson added 11 Wednesday night, leading No. 13 Indiana past No. 3 North Carolina 7667 in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge.

The Hoosiers (5-1) have won two straight since last week’s stunning loss to little-known IPFW.

In that game, Johnson struggled, Blackmon injured his knee and Anunoby tried to play through an illness. This time, they helped Indiana start fast and fend off the Tar Heels’ second-half charges to close it out. Anunoby was injured at the end of the game and needed help to get to the locker room.

North Carolina (7-1), which trailed for a total of 16 seconds during its four-game trip to Hawaii, never led and spent most of the game trailing by double digits.

The Tar Heels were led by Justin Jackson with 21 points and Kennedy Meeks with 10. North Carolina was 13 of 22 on free throws. At No. 7 Virginia 63,

Ohio St. 61: London Perrantes scored 15 of his 19 points in the second half and Virginia overcame a sloppy performanc­e and rallied past Ohio State in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

Devon Hall added 12 points for the Cavaliers (7-0), who trailed by as many as 16 points in the first half and didn’t take the lead for good until Marial Shayok’s baseline runner made it 59-57 with 1:58 remaining.

Jae’Sean Tate led Ohio State with 14 points and Lyle had 12. At No. 9 Baylor 79,

Sam Houston St. 45: Reserve King McClure scored 14 points and Baylor remained unbeaten with a victory over Sam Houston State.

Baylor shot 46.4 percent from the field, including 13 for 31 from 3point range. On the other end, Sam Houston State missed its first 13 shots while Baylor opened the game on a 10-0 run. The Bears (7-0) limited the Bearkats to 28.6 percent shooting and blocked 11 shots. At No. 14 Louisville 71,

No. 15 Purdue 64: Ray Spalding and Mangok Mathiang each scored11 points and Donovan Mitchell contribute­d seven critical points down the stretch to help Louisville hold off Purdue in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

Seeking a rebound from their second-half collapse against Baylor in the Battle 4 Atlantis championsh­ip when they lost a 22-point lead, the Cardinals held Purdue to a season-low 36 percent shooting but needed key baskets in the final minutes as the Boilermake­rs cut a 51-33 deficit to four with 14.4 seconds left. At No. 23 Oregon 93,

W. Oregon 54: Preseason All-America Dillon Brooks scored 21 points and Roman Sorkin had 15 as No. 23 Oregon rolled to a victory over Western Oregon.
