DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - Seth Curry scored 24 points to lead No. 3 Duke past Georgia Tech 73-57 on Thursday night.
Mason Plumlee added 16 points and 13 rebounds after going just 2 for 12 during an awful first half, and the Blue Devils (16-1, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) shot 53 percent from the field over the final 20 minutes to bounce back from their only loss.
Freshman Chris Bolden's 20 points were the most scored by a Georgia Tech player this season.
But the Yellow Jackets (10-6, 0-4) had 21 turnovers in losing their fourth straight, remaining the only team winless in ACC play and falling to 5-32 at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Freshman Rasheed Sulaimon broke out of a slump with 15 points on 5-of-8 shooting after coming off the bench for the first time in his Duke career.
No. 5 MICHIGAN 83, No. 9 MINNESOTA 75
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 21 points and Trey Burke had 18 points and nine assists for Michigan.
Hardaway hit four 3-pointers in the first half for the Wolverines (17-1, 4-1 Big Ten), who had the lead for the final 33 minutes of the game and finished with 13 steals to fuel their fast break. Nik Stauskas added 11 points.
Austin Hollins led the Gophers (15-3, 3-2) with 21 points and four steals, and Trevor Mbakwe had 13 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks. Andre Hollins was drawn into early foul trouble, but he came alive after halftime to finish with 13 points and four assists.
The Gophers crept back in the game after falling behind by 19 points early in the second half. After Rodney Williams cut the margin to 77-70 with 2:40 remaining, the Gophers got the ball back but Williams had an open 3-pointer rim out and Andre Hollins had his putback attempt blocked underneath.
Burke stretched the lead to nine with two free throws with 43 seconds left.
No. 8 GONZAGA 71, PORTLAND 49
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Kelly Olynyk had 21 points and eight rebounds as Gonzaga won its eighth straight.
Olynyk, the 7-foot center who leads the West Coast Conference in scoring, got off to a slow start against the Pilots after two straight games with more than 30 points, scoring just one basket in the first half.
Kevin Pangos added 14 points, including four 3-pointers for Gonzaga (17-1, 4-0 WCC), as the Bulldogs extended the best start in school history.
Kevin Bailey had 16 points for the Pilots (8-11, 1-3) who trailed by as many as 21 points and dropped their 19th straight game in the series with the Zags.
No. 10 FLORIDA 68, TEXAS A&M 47
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Mike Rosario scored 19 points and Patric Young added 18 for Florida.
The Aggies led by one point midway through the first half before a big run by the Gators gave them a 35-18 halftime lead.
It was a letdown for Texas A&M (12-4, 2-1 Southeastern Conference), which was coming off an 83-71 victory at Kentucky on Saturday. Elston Turner scored a career-high 40 points in that win, but managed just four points Thursday on 1-of-10 shooting.
It is the fifth straight win for Florida (13-2, 3-0) which is in the midst of playing four of five games on the road.
Jordan Greene had 12 points for the Aggies, while J'Mychal Reese added 10.
No. 21 OREGON 76, SOUTHERN CAL 74
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Damyean Dotson scored 16 points and Oregon won its sixth straight.
The Ducks (15-2, 4-0 Pac-12) opened with four straight conference wins for the first time in 39 years when they started 4-0 in the Pac-8.
USC (7-11, 2-3) was coming off a victory over Utah last week, but it marked the final game for coach Kevin O'Neill, who was fired on Monday. Bob Cantu, in his 12th season as an assistant with the program, is the interim coach.
The Trojans were down 75-67 with 2:11 remaining. J.J. Terrell, who had 22 points, made two free throws to cut Oregon's lead to 75-74 with 33.1 seconds left. USC was able to get the ball back but missed a 3-pointer and a couple of putbacks with Oregon's Arsalan Kazemi finally grabbing the rebound.
E.J. Singler had 14 points, while Dominic Artis, Carl Emory and Tony Woods each added 10, but the Ducks shot just 42.9 percent (27 for 63) from the field.
Eric Wise had 17 points for the Trojans.
No. 22 VCU 92, SAINT JOSEPH'S 86, OT
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Treveon Graham scored six of his 25 points in overtime after Virginia Commonwealth rallied late in regulation to tie it.
Darius Theus added a career-high 22 points and 10 assists and four steals for the Rams (15-3, 3-0 Atlantic 10), who won their 12th straight. Juvonte Reddic added 15 points and 17 rebounds for the Rams, who were playing their first game as a ranked team since 1984-85.
Langston Galloway had 22 points, Carl Jones 21 and C.J. Aiken had 15 points and nine rebounds for the Hawks (9-6, 1-2).
NORTHWESTERN 68, No. 23 ILLINOIS 54
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) - Reggie Hearn scored 20 points and Northwestern built an early lead using 3-point shooting to hand Illinois its third straight loss.
Illinois has lost five of seven - and three straight in the Big Ten - after starting 12-0.
The Wildcats (11-7, 2-3 Big Ten) were 8 of 15 from 3-point range but hit five of those shots in the first half to build a 36-21 lead.
Northwestern made 26 of 31 free throws, many of them late with Illinois forced to foul.
The Illini (14-5, 1-4) closed within 48-39 on a free throw by Brandon Paul with 4:36 to play and got no closer.
Jared Swopshire had 12 points and six rebounds for Northwestern, while Alex Marcotullio scored 12 points and Dave Sobolewski added 10.
Paul had 21 points for Illinois, which shot 38 percent from the field, including going 3 of 20 from 3-point range.
No. 24 UCLA 74, OREGON STATE 64
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Shabazz Muhammad scored 21 points and Kyle Anderson added 17 as UCLA won its 10th straight.
Travis Wear added 17 points for the Bruins (15-3, 5-0 Pac-12), who equaled their longest winning streak since 2008-09. They have won 23 of the last 24 games played against Oregon State on their home court.
Roberto Nelson scored 17 points and Joe Burton added 12 points for the Beavers (10-7, 0-4). They lost their fourth straight and fifth in their last six.
The Beavers were held under their 75.7-point scoring average. They are one of two Pac-12 teams with five players averaging double figures, but only three players reached that mark in the game.
