CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Shenise Johnson scored 19 points and Riquna Williams added 17 to lead No. 6 Miami to a 61-37 win over No. 22 North Carolina on Wednesday night.

Stefanie Yderstrom chipped in 10 points for the Hurricanes, who won their 38th straight home game.

The 38-game home streak is the third-longest active streak in the nation. Only Connecticut (98) and Stanford (74) have longer streaks.

With the win, Miami (21-3, 10-1 ACC) avenged its only loss in the ACC. North Carolina beat Miami 65-63 in Chapel Hill on Jan. 2.

Laura Broomfield scored seven points to lead North Carolina (17-7, 7-4 ACC), which committed a season-high 35 turnovers. Their previous high was 31, which was against Miami in their last meeting.

Miami shot 37.3 percent (22 of 59) from the floor compared to North Carolina, which was held to 26.8 percent (15 of 56).

No. 14 GEORGETOWN 56, SETON HALL 51

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sugar Rodgers had 23 points and 11 rebounds to help Georgetown beat Seton Hall.

Sydney Wilson had nine points and nine rebounds for the Hoyas (19-5, 8-3 Big East), who have won six of seven and defeated the Pirates for the third consecutive time — although it wasn’t easy against one of the Big East’s two winless teams in conference play.

The Hoyas never trailed and led by as many as 16 points in both halves, but couldn’t put the Pirates away.

Seton Hall’s Jasmine Crew was fouled on a 3-pointer and made all three free throws with 2 minutes, 48 seconds remaining to cut Georgetown’s lead to 50-44. Crew set the school’s single season record for free throws made in her career with 135.

Georgetown iced the game with six free throws in the final 2 minutes.

Crew scored 20 points for the Pirates (7-18, 0-11), who lost their 13th consecutive game to match the program’s worst losing streak from the 1984-85 season.

No. 15 TEXAS A&M 67, KANSAS STATE 36

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Kelsey Bone and Karla Gilbert scored 14 points apiece to lead No. 15 Texas A&M to its fourth straight win, beating Kansas State.

Texas A&M had a 20-point lead at halftime and used a 12-5 run early in the second half to extend its advantage to 51-24. Tyra White had five points to lead the Aggies in that span.

The win leaves the Aggies (17-5, 8-3 Big 12) in second place in the Big 12 entering Saturday’s game against league-leader and top-ranked Baylor. It will be the first meeting between the teams since A&M’s win in the regional final last season en route to its first national championship.

Brittany Chambers had 11 points and was the only player with double digits for Kansas State (15-8, 6-5).

No. 25 ST. BONAVENTURE 69, MASSACHUSETTS 54

AMHERST, Mass. (AP) — Megan Van Tatenhove and Armelia Horton scored 17 points each and St. Bonaventure tied a school single-season record for wins with a victory over Massachusetts.

The Bonnies (23-2, 10-0 Atlantic 10), who entered the Top 25 for the first time ever this week, also set regular-season records with their 12th straight win and their 11th consecutive victory on the road without a loss, the best road mark in the nation. Van Tatenhove also had a game-high 10 rebounds.

Massachusetts (6-18, 1-8) was led by Shakia Robinson with 19 points and seven rebounds.
