No. 4 Michigan 71, Air Force 50

ANN ARBOR, MICH.

Iggy Brazdeikis scored 19 points and Charles Matthews added 17 to lead No. 4 Michigan to a victory over Air Force. The Wolverines (12-0) went on a 19-3 run in the first half and never looked back. Michigan is 12-0 for only the third time in school history. The Wolverines also did it in 1985-86 and 2012-13. Jordan Poole and Isaiah Livers scored 11 points each for Michigan. Lavelle Scottie led the Falcons (4-7) with 16.

No. 5 Virginia 72, William & Mary 40

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA.

De’Andre Hunter scored 18 points, Kyle Guy had 16 and No. 5 Virginia pulled away after halftime and beat William & Mary. The Tribe (4-8) used a 14-3 run spanning halftime to trim a 17-point deficit to 34-28 early in the second half, but Mamadi Diakite’s basket sparked a 17-2 run that put Virginia (11-0) in command again.

No. 6 Nevada 68, Akron 62

RENO, NEV.

Caleb Martin and Jordan Caroline scored 19 points apiece, and Martin hit a 3-pointer with 45 seconds left to help No. 6 Nevada fend off Akron. Martin’s big shot helped bail out the Wolf Pack (12-0) after another poor performance from beyond the arc. Nevada missed its first nine 3-point attempts, capping a 19-for-88 stretch going back three games — including Martin’s airball with 5:47 left in the first half and Akron leading 20-11.

No. 7 Auburn 93, Murray State 88

AUBURN, ALA.

Samir Doughty scored 20 points, Austin Wiley had 17 points and 10 rebounds and No. 7 Auburn held off Murray State. Auburn led 91-79 with 55 seconds remaining before getting a scare because of Murray State’s full-court press and turnovers by the Tigers. The Racers cut Auburn’s lead to three points with 19 seconds left, but Jared Harper’s free throws on the other end sealed the Tigers’ victory.

No. 19 Kentucky 80, No. 9 North Carolina 72

CHICAGO

Keldon Johnson scored 23 points, Reid Travis added 20, and No. 19 Kentucky beat ninth-ranked North Carolina in a matchup between two of college basketball’s winningest programs. Johnson scored 16 in the second half, helping the Wildcats (9-2) hold off the Tar Heels (8-3). Tyler Herro scored 15. PJ Washington added 11 points, nine rebounds and a career-high eight assists, and Kentucky won its second in a row since an overtime loss to Seton Hall at Madison Square Garden. Cameron Johnson led North Carolina with 17 points.

No. 11 Florida St 81, Saint Louis 59

SUNRISE, FLA.

David Nichols scored a season-high 19 points off the bench and No. 11 Florida State shot a season-best 55 percent to beat Saint Louis. The Billikens shot only 30 percent — their season low, and the best effort yet for Florida State’s defense. The Seminoles (11-1) won their sixth game in a row and matched the best 12-game record in school history. Saint Louis (8-4) suffered its most lopsided loss of the season. Nichols went 7 for 11, including a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to end the first half and give the Seminoles a 40-25 lead. The margin stayed in double digits the rest of the way, peaking at 71-43 late in the second half.

No. 16 Wisconsin 84, Grambling State 53

MADISON, WIS.

Ethan Happ scored 19 points and grabbed his 1,000th career rebound Saturday, sending No. 16 Wisconsin past Grambling State. Happ finished with eight rebounds for Wisconsin (10-2). He is the 15th player in Big Ten history to reach 1,000 rebounds.

No. 17 Mississippi State 67, Wright State 63

JACKSON, MISS.

Quinndary Weatherspoon scored 14 points and went 5 of 6 from the free-throw line in the final minute as No. 17 Mississippi State held off Wright State for its eighth straight victory. Aric Holman had 12 points, nine rebounds, four blocks and four assists for the Bulldogs (11-1), while Lamar Peters chipped in 11 points and Tyson Carter scored 10. Bill Wampler had 19 points for the Raiders (6-7).

No. 22 Indiana 94, Jacksonville 64

BLOOMINGTON, IND.

Juwan Morgan recorded the second triple-double in Indiana history and the 22nd-ranked Hoosiers won their sixth straight. Morgan finished with 10 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, joining Steve Downing against Michigan in 1971 as the only Indiana player to accomplish the feat. Downing did it with points, rebounds and blocks. Morgan went 5-for-5 from the field and added three blocks and two steals. Aljami Durham scored a career-high 18 points, Romeo Langford had 15 and Justin Smith and Devonte Green each scored 13.

No. 23 Iowa 110, Savannah State 64

IOWA CITY, IOWA

Joe Wieskamp scored a career-high 24 points, Jordan Bohannon had 18 on six 3s and No. 23 Iowa blew past Savannah State for its fourth straight victory. Tyler Cook scored 16 points in 17 minutes for the Hawkeyes (10-2). The Hawkeyes needed just six minutes to jump ahead 29-8, and from there the game resembled a glorified workout. It was so noncompetitive that Iowa coach Fran McCaffery put in a pair of walk-ons, Austin Ash and Michael Baer, midway through the first half with his team up 38-11.

No. 25 Nebraska 86, Cal State Fullerton 62

LINCOLN, NEB.

James Palmer Jr. scored 23 points and No. 25 Nebraska took control midway through the first half to defeat Cal State Fullerton.

Kyle Allman Jr. had 14 of his 16 points in the second half to lead Cal State Fullerton. Khalil Ahmad had 12 points and Austen Awosika had 10 points.
