TOP 25 COLLEGE BASKETBALL Tuesday’s games


MEN

No. 2 Kansas 96, Toledo 58

LAWRENCE, KAN.

Devonte Graham scored a career-high 35 points, Malik Newman added 17 and second-ranked Kansas ran roughshod over Toledo to extend the Jayhawks’ best start in seven years. Svi Mykhailiuk hit five 3-pointers and added 15 points for Kansas (6-0), which built a 59-30 lead by halftime and pushed the advantage to more than 50 points before coasting down the stretch. The Jayhawks were 12 of 20 from beyond the arc and shot 59 percent from the field, though emptying the bench early kept them from hitting the 100-point mark for the third consecutive game. They also forced 20 turnovers by a Toledo team that had committed 25 total over its last three games.

Tre’Shaun Fletcher and Nate Navigato scored 12 points apiece to lead the Rockets (3-3), who have lost three straight overall and 12 straight against ranked teams.

No. 8 Wichita State 112, Savannah State 66

WICHITA, KAN.

Samajae Haynes-Jones scored a season-high 31 points to lead No. 8 Wichita State past Savannah State. Five other Shockers (5-1) scored in double figures against the fast-paced Tigers (2-6). Leading scorer Landry Shamet did not play in the second half after re-injuring his right ankle. Darral Willis had 14 points and 12 rebounds for Wichita State, while Rashard Kelly had 12 points and 10 rebounds. Austin Reaves scored 12 for the Shockers, and Conner Frankamp and Rauno Nurger added 10 each. Savannah State was led by Alante Fenner’s 18 points. Austin Dasent scored 15 for the Tigers, and Dexter McClanahan added 10. Perhaps the most important development came late in the first half, though, when Shamet rolled his right ankle. A preseason All-American Athletic Conference selection, Shamet had to be helped to the bench after halftime, the ankle heavily iced.

Purdue 66, No. 17 Louisville 57

WEST LAFAYETTE, IND.

Vince Edwards scored 15 points and Carsen Edwards and Dakota Mathias spurred a late run to send Purdue past Louisville in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. The Boilermakers (6-2) beat their second straight ranked opponent — and won for the first time since their 41-week streak in the Top 25 ended. Carsen Edwards and Mathias both finished with 13 points. Louisville (4-1) was led by V.J. King with 17 points and Deng Adel with 13. It’s the second time in eight years the Cardinals have lost their first road game of the season.

No. 21 Xavier 76, No. 16 Baylor 63

CINCINNATI

J.P. Macura scored 15 of his 19 points in the first half as Xavier surged ahead to stay, and the 21st-ranked Musketeers sent No. 16 Baylor to its first loss of the season. The Musketeers (6-1) recovered from their first loss — against Arizona State — by controlling the boards and putting together decisive runs in each half. They never trailed after an opening 21-8 spurt. Kaiser Gates also had 19 points for Xavier, including a 3-pointer that blunted the Bears’ final comeback attempt. Baylor (5-1) was riding momentum from the championship of Hall of Fame Classic, which featured wins over Wisconsin and Creighton.

WOMEN

No. 1 UConn 88, Nevada 57

RENO

Kia Nurse scored 27 points, hitting all eight of her 3-point attempts, and Gabby Williams added 18 points in her homecoming to help No. 1 UConn beat Nevada. It was a season-high for Williams, who was playing her first game at Nevada’s Lawlor Events Center since she her high school team to a state title in 2012. Azura Stevens added 17 points and 14 rebounds for the Huskies (6-0), who shot 63 percent from the field. UConn jumped out to a 31-12 lead after the first quarter, but Nevada (3-3) didn’t go away. Teige Zeller led Nevada with 17 points. Sophomore Camariah King added 15 points, hitting five of six 3-pointers.

No. 10 Oregon 87, Hampton 45

EUGENE, ORE.

Oti Gildon had career highs of 20 points and 12 rebounds, and Satou Sabally added 18 points to help No. 10 Oregon roll to an victory over Hampton. Gildon, a junior making her first start in 74 games, replaced Ruthy Hebard in the lineup for the Ducks (6-1). Sabrina Ionescu also had a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds, and Lexi Bandon had 11 points. Allina Starr led the Pirates (2-4) with 12 points and Mikayla Sayle had 10.
