Games played Feb. 4, 2014

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Michael Frazier II scored 14 points, highly touted freshman Chris Walker had two crowd-pleasing dunks in his debut and No. 3 Florida beat Missouri 68-58 on Tuesday night.

The Gators won their 14th consecutive game and extended a school record with their 28th straight victory at home.

Frazier drained three 3-pointers in a 2-minute span in the second half, giving Florida some breathing room in a tight, back-and-forth game.

Scottie Wilbekin finished with a career-high 19 points for the Gators. He was 13 of 16 from the free throw line, most of them down the stretch. Patric Young chipped in 13 points and six rebounds for the Gators (20-2, 9-0 Southeastern Conference).

Missouri's 3-point shooting kept the Tigers (16-6, 4-5) in it for much of the game.

Missouri made 8 of 21 from behind the arc, but just 4 of 13 in the second half. The Tigers went more than 4 minutes without a point, a stretch that helped Florida build its biggest lead.

Jabari Brown led the Tigers with 15 points while Jordan Clarkson added 14.


No. 8 KANSAS 69, BAYLOR 52

WACO, Texas (AP) - Naadir Tharpe scored 22 points, nine in a go-ahead run before halftime, and Big 12-leading Kansas rebounded from its first league loss.

Andrew Wiggins overcame a slow start to score 14 points, while Perry Ellis had 14 points and 10 rebounds for Kansas.

Wiggins, the Big 12's top scoring freshman, finished 4-of-13 shooting and didn't make his first basket until a half-court shot to beat the buzzer going into halftime. That capped a 14-3 run over the final 5 minutes for a 35-27 lead.

Tharpe's short jumper with 3½ minutes left in the half broke a 25-all tie and put the Jayhawks (17-5, 8-1 Big 12) ahead to stay.

Cory Jefferson had 14 points to lead Baylor (14-8, 2-7), which lost its fourth consecutive game at the Ferrell Center after a 13-game home winning streak. It's the longest home drought since dropping six straight in 2005.


No. 11 DUKE 83, WAKE FOREST 63

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - Jabari Parker scored 21 points and Rasheed Sulaimon added 19 points for Duke (18-5, 7-3 Atlantic Coast Conference).

The Blue Devils shot nearly 51 percent, hit 12 3-pointers against one of the ACC's best perimeter defenses and used a big run at the end of the first half to roll to their eighth straight victory over their instate rivals.

Devin Thomas had 14 points for the Demon Deacons (14-9, 4-6), who have lost three straight for the first time this season.

They had 19 turnovers - including five straight during Duke's decisive run.

Playing without leading scorer Codi Miller-McIntyre, Wake Forest hung around for about 15 minutes before ultimately losing their 15th straight at Cameron Indoor Stadium - all by double figures.

Andre Dawkins added 17 points with four 3-pointers for Duke, which won its 29th straight home game.


No. 15 TEXAS 59, TCU 54

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Jonathan Holmes had 20 points and a career-high 16 rebounds and Texas rallied in the second half to extend its winning streak to seven games.

Holmes hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 2:41 remaining, and the Longhorns (18-4, 7-2 Big 12) held off the Horned Frogs with several key offensive rebounds in the final 2 minutes.

Cameron Ridley had 12 points and nine rebounds, including one that led to his clinching free throws after a miss by Isaiah Taylor with 7 seconds left, as the Longhorns held on following their win at home against No. 8 Kansas over the weekend.

Amric Fields had 16 points and eight rebounds to lead TCU (9-12, 0-9), the only Big 12 team without a conference win.

The Longhorns came into Fort Worth with four straight wins over ranked opponents.


OHIO ST. 76, No. 17 IOWA 69

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Aaron Craft had 17 points, six assists and six steals to help Ohio State to its third win in four games.

LaQuinton Ross added 13 points for the Buckeyes (18-5, 5-5 Big Ten), who moved back to .500 in the league after starting a surprising 2-4.

Craft's first points of the second half came on a three-point play that put Ohio State ahead 66-59 with 1:17 left. That sealed consecutive road wins for the Buckeyes, who beat Wisconsin 59-58 on Saturday.

Mike Gesell had 16 points for Iowa (17-6, 6-4), which shot just 3 of 20 from 3-point range and lost its second straight at home. Hawkeyes stars Devyn Marble and Aaron White combined for just 18 points.

Iowa soundly defeated Ohio State in their first meeting, rallying from nine down to win 84-74 in Columbus. Iowa fell 2½ games behind idle Michigan and Michigan State in the conference with eight games to play.
