COLUMBUS

Jarrod Uthoff and Aaron White each scored 18 points to lead Iowa past Ohio State in the Big Ten opener.

Sam Thompson had 17 points, D’Angelo Russell scored 13 despite heavy foul trouble and Marc Loving added 10 for the Buckeyes, who had won eight games in a row in the series before the Hawkeyes won at Value City Arena last year 84-74.

No. 3 Virginia 83, Davidson 72

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA.

Justin Anderson hit back-to-back 3-pointers to fuel a 12-3 run in the second half and Virginia pulled away to beat stubborn Davidson. Anthony Gill led the Cavaliers (12-0) with a career-high 25 points and 13 rebounds. Malcolm Brogdon added 16, Anderson 14 and Darion Atkins 13 points and 10 rebounds as Virginia won its 18th in a row at home.

The Wildcats also got 20 from Tyler Kalinoski and 14 from Brian Sullivan. Their point total was the highest against Virginia’s top-ranked defense this year, but well of their top-ranked 87.7 scoring average.

No. 5 Louisville 63, Long Beach State 48

LOUISVILLE, KY.

Terry Rozier scored 23 points while Montrezl Harrell added 16 for Louisville. Putting away the 49ers took some effort for the Cardinals (12-1), who saw their 45-23 lead cut to 57-48 with 2:44 remaining. But Harrell closed the game with a jumper, a dunk and a layup as Louisville rebounded from Saturday’s loss to top-ranked Kentucky. Rozier led the way with 7-of-14 shooting, seven rebounds and three assists for the Cardinals, who shot 51 percent and forced 19 turnovers. Louisville also made 6 of 15 3-pointers. Branford Jones scored 13 points for Long Beach State (5-10), which closed an 0-6 road trip with 36 percent shooting. The 49ers played the Cardinals even on the boards (28-28) but were cold in key stretches.

No. 12 Maryland 68, Michigan State 66, 2 OT

EAST LANSING, MICH.

Dez Wells scored 16 points, including a tying 3 with 2.2 seconds left in regulation, and Maryland won in its first Big Ten game.

Travis Trice scored 26 points for the Spartans (9-5, 0-1), who had just one double-figure scorer in 50 minutes. The Terrapins’ other big edge was going 26-for-32 from the foul line, all after halftime, while Michigan State missed great chances at the end of regulation and the first overtime.
