CARBONDALE, Ill. (AP) — Sean O’Brien scored 16 points and had 13 rebounds and Leo Vincent added 15 points as Southern Illinois pulled away in the second half for an 83-69 win over Drake on Sunday. Southern Illinois (8-7, 1-1 Missouri Valley) had a 37-32 lead at halftime before Drake used a 15-8 run in the first six minutes of the second half, taking a 47-45 lead on Reed Timmer’s layup.
Timmer later hit a 3 pulling Drake to within 56-55, but Sean Lloyd made a layup, Austin Weiher buried a 3, Aaron Cook had a layup as did O’Brien and the lead was at 10 with 8:41 to go. Nick McGlynn’s jumper with 4:04 left was the last time Drake (3-11, 1-1) trailed by single digits. Vincent responded with a 3 making it 75-63.
Timmer led the Bulldogs with 17 points and Ore Arogundade finished with 13 points.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Peter Jok scored 25 points, including a decisive 3 with 1:16 left in overtime, and Iowa rallied to beat Michigan 86-83 on Sunday for its fifth straight win over the Wolverines. Freshman Jordan Bohannon added 17 points and six assists for the Hawkeyes (9-6, 1-1 Big Ten), who overcame a monster game by Michigan’s D.J. Wilson for their sixth win in seven games.
Derrick Walton Jr.’s breakaway layup with 21 seconds to go pulled Michigan (10-4, 0-1) within 84-83. But Jok hit two free throws after a hard foul, and Wilson clanked a 3 off the backboard that would’ve likely forced a second overtime.
Wilson set a career high with 28 points, and he added 14 rebounds and six assists. Duncan Robinson scored 15 off the bench for the Wolverines, who were just 12 of 35 from 3-point range. Tyler Cook had 11 points with eight assists in his first start since November for Iowa.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Ariel Atkins scored a career-high 25 points, including a 3-pointer to give No. 16 Texas the lead for good, in a 75-68 win over Iowa State on Sunday for the Longhorns’ sixth straight win.
Atkins’ 3-pointer gave the Longhorns (8-4, 2-0 Big 12) a two-point lead and began a 9-0 run she capped with a bucket for a 68-60 edge with a minute left. Seanna Johnson made three free throws to cut it to 71-68 and Iowa State got the ball back on a travel but turned it over on the inbounds pass. Atkins added two free throws and Brianna Taylor followed with a steal.
Kelsey Lang added 11 points and 12 rebounds for Texas, though the Longhorns were beaten on the boards, 36-34, for the first time this season. Jadda Buckley scored 19 points with seven assists and Johnson added 17 points and nine rebounds for the Cyclones (9-4, 0-2).
ATLANTA (AP) — Top-ranked and unbeaten Alabama is in the national championship game after scoring 10 points off turnovers in a 24-7 win over No. 4 Washington in the Peach Bowl. Bo Scarborough carried the Tide’s offense by running for 180 yards and two touchdowns to earn game MVP honors. Ryan Anderson returned an interception 26 yards for a touchdown late in the first half to help Alabama improve to 14-0 heading into its title game against Clemson.
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — DeShaun Watson ran for two touchdowns and threw for another as Clemson blasted Ohio State, 31-0 to advance to the national championship game. Watson was 23 of 36 for 259 yards and two interceptions before taking a seat on the bench with five minutes left in the fourth quarter. He also had 57 yards rushing for the Tigers, who scored in each quarter and held the Buckeyes to 215 total yards and nine first downs.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Columbus Blue Jackets have tied the second-longest winning streak in NHL history by downing the Wild, 4-2 in Minnesota. Cam Atkinson scored twice while Columbus built a 3-0 lead en route to its 15th consecutive win, two away from the all-time record set by the 1992-93 Penguins. The outcome also ends the Wild’s team-record, 12-game winning streak.
HOUSTON (AP) — James Harden torched the Knicks for 53 points, 17 assists and 16 rebounds to highlight Houston’s 129-122 victory. Harden set career highs for points and 3-pointers with nine, and matched his career best for assists in his second consecutive triple-double. Ryan Anderson added 25 points for the Rockets, who have won four in a row and finished December 15-2 to tie a club record for wins in a single month.
UNDATED (AP) — Saturday’s college basketball schedule included three upsets in the ACC. Justin Bibbs drained four 3-pointers while scoring 18 points to lead Virginia Tech’s 89-75 win against fifth-ranked Duke. Josh Okogie scored 26 points and Ben Lammers had 11 and 11 rebounds in the Yellow Jackets’ 75-63 triumph over ninth-ranked North Carolina, and Dwayne Bacon scored 26 of his 39 points in the second half to lead 20th-rated Florida State past No. 12 Virginia, 60-58.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Naz Mitrou-Long scored 17 of his 19 points in the second half and Iowa State rallied from 14 down to beat Texas Tech 63-56 Friday. Monte Morris had 14 points with six assists for the Cyclones (9-3, 1-0 Big 12), who recovered from an ugly start to beat the Red Raiders at home for the sixth time in a row.
After looking sluggish for well over a half, Iowa State ripped off 16 straight points — and a Mitrou-Long 3 gave the Cyclones their first lead, 55-52, with 4:29 left. Texas Tech (11-2, 0-1) out-rebounded the smaller Cyclones 42-27. But the Red Raiders went scoreless for 7 ½ minutes down the stretch, allowing Mitrou-Long and Iowa State to overtake them behind a crowd that went from irritated to raucous in no time.
Keenan Evans led Texas Tech with 15 points, and Anthony Livingston scored 13. Zach Smith had 14 rebounds for the Red Raiders, who were outscored by 17 points in the second half.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs ruled Justin Houston out for Sunday’s game in San Diego with swelling in his surgically repaired left knee, throwing into question the four-time Pro Bowl pass rusher’s availability for the playoffs. The Chiefs also activated linebacker Justin March-Lillard from injured reserve and waived defensive lineman David King on Friday, though Chiefs coach Andy Reid said March-Lillard is unlikely to play this week.
Running back Spencer Ware is listed as questionable for the game with bruised ribs. Houston was also inactive for last week’s win over Denver, which clinched a postseason spot. The Chiefs can win the AFC West and earn a first-round bye by beating the Chargers on Sunday if division-leading Oakland also loses to the Broncos.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – De’Antae McMurray had a career-high 24 points and Drake held off a late rally to beat Loyola of Chicago 102-98 in the Missouri Valley opener for both teams on Thursday night. Reed Timmer added 23 points for the Bulldogs (3-10), who led from the 11:36 mark of the first half and had a 16-5 run to lead 89-69 with 4:41 left.
But Drake allowed the Ramblers (10-4) to score 16 straight in the next 2:39 to get to 89-85 and again within four at 96-92 with 53 seconds left. Drake made 6 of 8 free throws from there to hold on for their second straight win after an eight-game losing streak. Billy Wampler added 16 points, Ore Arogundade scored 15 and Nick McGlynn 12.
Donte Ingram set career highs with 30 points and 10 rebounds for Loyola. He made 12 of 18 from the field but just 1 of 5 from 3-point range. Ben Richardson added 22 points and Milton Doyle scored 12.
Iowa State coach Steve Prohm says the Cyclones need to raise their level of play this (Friday) evening, when they host Texas Tech in their Big-12 opener.
Prohm says the Cyclones need better interior play in the conference race.
Prohm says the Cyclones may feature four guard lineups on the floor.
Texas Tech is 11-1 but the Red Raiders have played a soft schedule and this will be their toughest test of the season so far. Tip off in Hilton Coliseum is at 5:00p.m. today.
