Top 25 men

No. 5 Duke 65, Tennessee State 55

DURHAM, N.C.

Luke Kennard scored 24 points and No. 5 Duke. Freshman forward Jayson Tatum added 14 points and Grayson Allen finished with 12 for the Blue Devils (11-1), who plodded through 30 mostly sluggish minutes before pulling away from a pesky Tigers team that threatened to spoil the college debut of touted Duke freshman Harry Giles. Tennessee State led 36-34 with 15 minutes left. Duke countered with a 25-3 run highlighted by five 3-pointers — including two by Kennard on consecutive possessions after he was left completely unguarded — to take a 59-39 lead.

No. 15 Purdue 82, Western Illinois 50

WEST LAFAYETTE, IND.

Caleb Swanigan had 21 points and 21 rebounds, Isaac Haas scored 18 and Purdue beat Western Illinois. Swanigan went 7 for 16 from the field and 6 for 7 at the free throw line in his ninth double-double of the season. He had 26 points and 10 rebounds in Saturday’s 86-81 victory against No. 25 Notre Dame in the Crossroads Classic.

No. 16 Indiana 103, Delaware State 56

BLOOMINGTON, IND.

OG Anunoby had 19 points and nine rebounds, and three of his teammates also reached double figures as Indiana routed Delaware State. By avoiding a second straight loss, the Hoosiers (9-2) extended their home winning streak to 25 games — tied for the fifth-longest in school history.

No. 21 Florida State 76, Samford 68

TALLAHASSEE, FLA.

Terrence Mann scored 19 points and Xavier Rathan-Mayes added 15 to lead Florida State past Samford. The Seminoles (12-1) have won eight straight and are 12-1 for only the third time — matching the 1988-89 and 2008-09 squads. FSU scored the first six points to start the second half, pushing the lead to double figures. Florida State led by 17 with 6:12 remaining after a 12-2 run. Christen Cunningham led the Bulldogs (7-4) with 16 points.

No. 25 Notre Dame 77, Colgate 62

TALLAHASSEE, FLA.
