TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Indiana State's two-man show was better than Indiana's defense in the second half Tuesday.
David Moss and Tyson Schnitker combined for 28 of Indiana State's 42 second-half points and they led the Sycamores to a 72-67 come-from-behind upset of No. 18 Indiana.
Moss finished with 19 points and nine rebounds, while Schnitker scored a career-high 19 points, including five 3-pointers, to lead Indiana State (4-0) to its third victory in the last four meetings with Indiana. Indiana State is off to its best start in 20 years, and the students celebrated by storming the court and dancing for several minutes.
Indiana (4-2) got a career-high 21 points and seven rebounds from freshman Ben Allen. Robert Vaden added 12 points.
No. 4 Villanova 79, Bucknell 60
LEWISBURG, Pa. -- Allen Ray scored 20 points and Randy Foye had 28 points and 11 rebounds to lead Villanova.
Ray answered two second-half surges with some big shots, including two key 3-pointers for Villanova (5-0) after Bucknell closed a 19-point deficit to three.
The Wildcats' talented guards proved too quick for Bucknell (5-1).
No. 10 Florida 87, Providence 77
PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Taurean Green scored 18 points and made four of Florida's nine 3-pointers.
Corey Brewer and Al Horford each added 14 points for Florida, which improved to 8-0 and matched the team's best start since it opened 10-0 in 1951.
N. Iowa 67, No. 12 Iowa 63, OT
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa -- Erik Crawford scored seven of his nine points in overtime, and Eric Coleman finished with 19 points to lead Northern Iowa.
Ben Jacobsen added 16 points for the Panthers (5-1), who won their third straight in the UNI-Dome against a nationally ranked Hawkeyes team and snapped Iowa's four-game winning streak.
Greg Brunner led the Hawkeyes (7-2) with 26 points. Iowa was ranked No. 11 when it lost to Northern Iowa 78-76 in Cedar Falls in 2001, and was No. 24 when it lost 77-66 two years ago.
With the Panthers trailing by two in overtime, Crawford -- who had just two points in regulation -- got the ball on the perimeter and made a 3-pointer to put UNI up 62-60 with 50 seconds left.
Brunner followed with a 3-pointer with 14 seconds left to cut the margin to 65-63. After Iowa fouled Crawford on the inbound pass, the senior made both free throws with 12 seconds left to seal the win.
No. 15 Kentucky 73, Georgia St. 46
ATLANTA -- Backup center Shagari Alleyne scored a career-high 16 points and Kentucky beat Georgia State despite playing without leading scorer Rajon Rondo (strep throat).
Joe Crawford had 14 points and Ramel Bradley added 12 for Kentucky (6-2), which led by only six points at halftime before pulling away with a 22-6 run to open the second half.
