Top 25 roundup: Louisville upends No. 9 Michigan State

[November 28, 2018]  Ryan McMahon scored 24 points off the bench as host Louisville topped No. 9 Michigan State 82-78 in overtime on Tuesday in Louisville, Ky.

Jordan Nwora scored 14 for Louisville (4-2), while Dwayne Sutton and Christen Cunningham added 13 points each.

Michigan State (5-2) trailed much of the game, and when Cassius Winston fouled out with 4:01 to play in regulation, it looked as if a comeback wouldn't happen. Instead, the Spartans regained the lead and had multiple chances to put the game away in the final minute.

However, they missed the front end of a one-and-one twice and committed a crucial turnover, sending what looked like a huge road win to overtime.

Zion Williamson scored 19 of his 25 points in the first half as the Blue Devils pounded the visiting Hoosiers in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge in Durham, N.C. RJ Barrett poured in 22 points, Tre Jones added 15 and Cam Reddish 13 for Duke, which has won 142 consecutive nonconference home games.

It was the first game for Duke (6-1) since last week's 89-87 loss to Gonzaga in the Maui Invitational championship game, a result that cost the Blue Devils their No. 1 national ranking.

Romeo Langford notched 13 points, reserve forward Evan Fitzner scored all of his 12 points in the first half and De'Ron Davis added 10 points for Indiana (5-2). The Hoosiers' only previous setback was a one-point decision at Arkansas.

No. 5 Nevada 79, Loyola-Chicago 65

Caleb Martin scored 21 points and twin brother Cody Martin added 20 to help the Wolf Pack remain unbeaten with a win against the host Ramblers.

Nevada improved to 7-0 behind 58.2 percent shooting (32-for-55). Trey Porter finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Jordan Caroline chipped in 15 points for the Wolf Pack.

After getting the ball back with 28 seconds left on a Jones turnover, Virginia Tech (5-1) squandered a chance at the final shot when Justin Robinson (19 points) whiffed on an NBA-range 3-pointer with 12 seconds left. Ahmed Hill corralled the rebound, only to put up a wild miss that was rebounded by Penn State's Myles Dread.
