MEN

No. 4 UNC 91, Boston College 69

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Tyler Hansbrough scored 18 points, Deon Thompson added a career-high 17 and North Carolina routed Boston College. Ty Lawson scored 16 points, Wayne Ellington finished with 14 and Marcus Ginyard added 10 for the Tar Heels (20-1, 5-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who had all five starters reach double figures for the first time this season. North Carolina shook off an eight-day layoff, took command with a 21-0 run that bridged halftime and turned the matchup of the league’s top two scorers into a blowout. Hansbrough entered leading the ACC with a 22-point average, with BC’s Tyrese Rice two points behind. Rice equaled his average with 20 points, but he was 6-for-15 from the field and 1-for-9 from 3-point range for the Eagles (12-7, 3-3), who were denied their second straight victory at the Dean Smith Center and went on to their third straight loss overall.

WOMEN

No. 2 Tennessee 68, Mississippi 44

OXFORD, Miss. — Shannon Bobbitt scored 14 points and Candace Parker had 13 as Tennessee continued its defensive dominance of the Southeastern Conference. The second-ranked Lady Vols (19-1, 6-0 SEC) won their ninth consecutive game overall and their 16th straight against the Lady Rebels (8-11, 2-4). Tennessee, bigger and faster at every position, strong-armed Ole Miss on the way to a 28-point first-half lead. But the Lady Vols’ 39-13 halftime advantage could have been wider.

No. 3 North Carolina 76, Wake Forest 56

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — LaToya Pringle scored 23 points as North Carolina pulled away in the second half to beat Wake Forest. Cetera DeGraffenreid added 15 points, Rashanda McCants 14 and Jessica Breland 10 for the Tar Heels (19-2, 6-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who led by as many as 23 points in the second half. Corinne Groves scored 16 points, Alex Tchangoue 14 and Christen Brown 10 for the Demon Deacons (13-10, 0-8), who shot less than 39 percent and committed 22 turnovers in losing their 25th consecutive league game.

No. 5 Maryland 90, Miami 50

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Crystal Langhorne scored 19 points to become the first Maryland female to reach 2,000, and the fifth-ranked Terrapins beat Miami for their school-record 16th home win of the season. Langhorne, a 6-foot-2 senior center, started the game needing only 2 points to reach 2,000. She got it on her first shot, a 16-footer behind the foul line with 25 seconds elapsed. Langhorne already owns the school rebounding record, male or female, with 1,111. Juan Dixon is the school leader in scoring with 2,269, one of five men with at least 2,000 points.

No. 8 LSU 67, South Carolina 37

BATON ROUGE, LA. — Quianna Chaney and Sylvia Fowles each scored 14 points as LSU breezed by South Carolina. The Lady Tigers (17-3, 6-0 Southeastern Conference), who remained tied for first place with Tennessee in the conference, won their eighth consecutive game.

Kentucky 47, No. 17 Georgia 44

ATHENS, Ga. — Amber Smith scored 12 points, including two free throws with 5.6 seconds to play to lead Kentucky. Georgia (16-5 overall, 3-3 Southeastern Conference) led 27-20 at halftime after falling behind 8-1 early.

No. 13 Old Dominion 76, Georgia St. 44

NORFOLK, Va. — T.J. Jordan scored 16 points and Old Dominiuon took control early and coasted to its 11th consecutive victory. The Lady Monarchs (17-3, 8-0 Colonial Athetic Association) led 36-20 by halftime and Jordan scored 11 points after the break as Old Dominion shot nearly 52 percent. Jazzmin Walters added 14 points, Shahida Williams 13 and Jessica Canady 10.
