Sunday’s Top 25 Men’s College Basketball Games

Minnesota 91, No. 15 Purdue 82

WEST LAFAYETTE, IND.

Nate Mason scored 31 points, and Eric Curry scored seven of his 10 in overtime as Minnesota upset Purdue. The teams traded baskets to begin the extra period before a Curry basket began an 11-0, victory-clinching run that snapped the Boilermakers’ seven-game winning streak. Minnesota (13-2, 1-1) overcame 28 points and 22 rebounds from Caleb Swanigan, but it wasn’t enough to save the Boilermakers (12-3, 1-1). Swanigan’s layup with 4.6 seconds remaining in regulation tied the game at 73 and forced overtime. Dupree McBrayer’s 3-point attempt for Minnesota at the buzzer bounced off the rim. The Golden Gophers began the game by making their first eight shots and building a 17-4 lead, but Purdue rallied to lead 50-43 with 13:39 remaining. Mason scored 10 during the next three minutes, and it was back and forth the rest of the way..

No. 13 Butler 78, Providence 61

INDIANAPOLIS

Kelan Martin had 15 points and eight rebounds, and Andrew Chrabascz and Avery Woodson each had 11 points to help Butler beat Providence. Kethan Savage added 10 points for Butler (12-2, 1-1 Big East). Butler shot 62 percent from the floor (26 of 42) and the Bulldogs’ backups outscored the Friars’ reserves 29-5. In the first half, the Bulldogs made 16 of 22 field goal attempts, shooting 72 percent. Thirteen of the Bulldogs’ 26 field goals were scored off of an assist, and Butler outrebounded Providence 30 to 26. Kyron Cartwright scored 26 points and Rodney Bullock added 17 for Providence (10-5, 0-2).

No. 18 Arizona 91, Stanford 52

STANFORD, CALIF.

Rawle Alkins scored 19 points, Dusan Ristic added 18 and Lauri Markannen 15 to help Arizona beat Stanford to complete a weekend road sweep to open Pac-12 Conference play. Chance Comanche added 13 points and 10 rebounds for the Wildcats (13-2, 2-0).

No. 23 Cincinnati 92, Tulane 56

CINCINNATI

Jarron Cumberland scored a career-high 19 points and Cincinnati routed Tulane. Cincinnati (12-2, 2-0 American Athletic Conference) was picked to win the conference in the preseason coaches’ poll and Tulane (3-11, 0-2) was pegged last. The disparity was evident on the court, as UC handed Tulane its most lopsided loss of the season. The Green Wave trailed by as many as 39 points.
