KENT

Mark Alstork scored 25 points, Steven Davis had 14, including the clinching free throws with four seconds left. The Raiders, up 36-32 at the half, had a 17 point lead with 11:19 to play cut to two with 2:41 to play on a 3-point play by Jaylin Walker. The Golden Flashes had two possessions to tie, missing four times on the second possession that included a jump ball, before Grant Benzinger made a free throw with 15 seconds left after a defensive rebound. That ended a drought of 6:35 for the Raiders, who led 65-61 on Justin Mitchell’s layup at the 6:50 mark. Kent State, which fell behind by missing its first eight shots of the second half, missed another 3 with Davis grabbing the rebound and securing the win at the line. Wright State (8-4) went 12 of 25 from 3-point range but shot 45 percent (25 of 56) overall and just 6 of 8 from the line. Kent State (7-4) shot 34.4 percent (22 of 64), including 6 of 26 from distance, and made 13 of 19 from the line.

No. 8 Gonzaga 86, Tennessee 76

NASHVILLE, TENN.

Nigel Williams-Goss scored 20 points, and No. 8 Gonzaga remained undefeated. Gonzaga (11-0) hadn’t played since Dec. 10 and looked strong as the Bulldogs scored the first eight points and never trailed. They led 27-6 on a jumper by Zach Collins with 12:06 left, 43-29 at halftime and 64-48 midway through the second half. Tennessee (6-5) went on a 10-3 run and got to 75-71 on a jumper by Robert Hubbs III with 2:26 left. Josh Perkins then hit a jumper as Gonzaga held on for its fourth straight win in the five games between these teams. This was billed as the Battle of Broadway played at Bridgestone Arena, so technically it was a neutral court — except for all the fans wearing Tennessee orange in the seats. Perkins finished with 15 points, and Jordan Mathews added 13 for Gonzaga. Detrick Mostella led Tennessee with 17 points.
