No. 2 Virginia 57, Georgia Tech 28
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA.
Malcolm Brogdon scored 13 points and Virginia ran its home winning streak to 21 games with a victory against Georgia Tech. Nine other players scored on a balanced night for the Cavaliers (18-0, 6-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who pretty much broke the game open with a 10-0 first-half run because of how effective their defense was against the Yellow Jackets. The burst turned a 13-10 lead into a 13-point margin that never again dipped into single digits. Georgia Tech (9-9, 0-6) had added just four more points and trailed 41-20.
No. 8 Notre Dame 85, Virginia Tech 60
BLACKSBURG, VA.
Jerian Grant scored 18 points to lead Notre Dame past Virginia Tech (8-10, 0-5 ACC). Grant shot 6 of 9 from the floor, including two 3-pointers, as the Fighting Irish (18-2, 6-1) won their third straight game. Pat Connaughton added 17 points and hit five 3-pointers on a night when the Fighting Irish shot 12 of 26 from beyond the 3-point arc.
DePaul 64, No. 24 Seton Hall 60
NEWARK, N.J.
Billy Garrett Jr. scored 14 points before fouling out and Myke Henry also had 14 to help DePaul come from behind and edge Seton Hall. It was DePaul’s first win on the road against Seton Hall, and it snapped a 51-game losing streak for the Blue Demons (11-8, 5-2) against ranked teams — dating to 2008, when they defeated No. 17 Villanova. DePaul outscored Seton Hall 17-5 over the final five minutes. Angel Delgado set career highs with 19 points and 19 rebounds for the Pirates (13-5, 3-3).
No. 23 Indiana 89, No. 13 Maryland 70
BLOOMINGTON, IND.
Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell scored 24 points and Collin Hartman added a career high 15 to lead Indiana. The Hoosiers (15-4, 5-1 Big Ten) have won four straight and are tied with No. 6 Wisconsin for the conference lead. Jake Layman had 13 points and Jared Nickens finished with 12 for Maryland (17-3, 5-2), which was off all night.
No. 7 Arizona 89, Stanford 82
STANFORD, CALIF.
Stanley Johnson had 19 points and seven rebounds and Arizona handed Stanford its first home loss of the season. Brandon Ashley added 17 points while playing with foul trouble in the Wildcats’ 10th straight win in the rivalry. Arizona (17-2, 5-1 Pac-12) tied the game at 52 with 14:34 left on Ashley’s three-point play and went ahead on his 3-pointer the next time down the floor in a decisive sequence that helped the Wildcats pull away. Chasson Randle scored 26 points and became just the third Stanford player to reach 2,000 points and 15th in conference history.
