Keisei Tominaga had 19 points and Rienk Mast added 18 to help
Nebraska knock off No. 1 Purdue 88-72 on Tuesday night in a Big Ten
Conference game in Lincoln, Neb.
It was the Cornhuskers' first win over a top-ranked team since 1982,
when they won at old Big 8 foe Missouri. They did it Tuesday by
hitting a season-high 14 3-pointers on just 23 attempts, making
seven in each half.
Tominaga went 5 of 9 on 3-pointers while Mast, who was matched up
against reigning national player of the year Zach Edey, made two 3s
and was 8 of 17 from the field. CJ Wilcher added 16 points, Juwan
Gary scored 12 and Brice Williams had nine points, 11 rebounds and
nine assists for Nebraska (13-3, 3-2 Big Ten).
Purdue (14-2, 3-2) fell to 1-2 in true road games as it found itself
taking more 3-pointers than 2-pointers for the first time all
season. The Boilermakers were 13 of 33 from outside, with Mason
Gillis hitting five as part of a season-high 16 points, but they
made just 11 of 24 shots from inside the arc.
Iowa State 57, No. 2 Houston 53
Milan Momcilovic hit a late tiebreaking jumper and two key free
throws as the Cyclones topped the previously unbeaten Cougars in a
Big 12 slugfest in Ames, Iowa.
Houston (14-1, 1-1 Big 12) -- which was the last unbeaten Division I
team in the country -- shrugged off its most ragged start of the
season and tied the score at 41-41 with 10:48 to play. Jamal Shead's
jumper with 3:17 to play gave Houston its first lead, but it was
short-lived.
Tamin Lipsey led Iowa State (12-3, 1-1 Big 12) with 14 points while
Momcilovic finished with 11.
No. 6 Kentucky 90, Missouri 77

all-time against Missouri at home and 15-3 against Missouri overall.
Noah Carter scored 20 points, Sean East II had 19 and Tamar Bates
added 18 for the Tigers (8-7, 0-2).
No. 11 Duke 75, Pitt 53
Kyle Filipowski poured in a game-high 26 points as the Blue Devils
cruised past the host Panthers.

for the Blue Devils (12-3, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who built
a 25-point lead by halftime and never looked back. Jared McCain
supplied 12 points and five boards for Duke, which also got nine
points and four assists from Jeremy Roach.
Zack Austin paced the Panthers (10-6, 1-4) with 11 points. Carlton
Carrington chipped in 10 points, while Blake Hinson and Jaland Lowe
finished with nine apiece.

Jalen Bridges tallied 25 points and five rebounds to lead the Bears
over the Cougars in Waco, Texas.
Ja'Kobe Walter finished with 16 points, Langston Love chipped in 15
and Jayden Nunn added 11 for the Bears. Baylor (13-2, 2-0 Big 12)
forced 14 turnovers and scored 18 points off those takeaways.
Spencer Johnson and Trevin Knell led BYU with 15 points apiece.
Dallin Hall added 13 points and Jaxson Robinson chipped in 10 for
the Cougars (12-3, 0-2), who lost despite shooting 49.1 and
outscoring the Bears 34-22 in the paint.
No. 16 Auburn 66, Texas A&M 55
Behind 22 points from Jaylin Williams and 14 points off the bench
from K.D. Johnson, the Tigers held on for a hard-fought home win
over the Aggies.

with 10 points, seven rebounds and four blocked shots for the Tigers
(13-2, 2-0 SEC).

points apiece. Andersson Garcia (six points, 13 rebounds) played

percent from the field, including 20 of 33 in the second half.
