Late Night Snacks: No. 21 Michigan wins ninth straight

michigan

GAME OF THE DAY: No. 21 Michigan 80, No. 3 Michigan State 75

Michigan won its ninth straight game on Saturday night, using an 8-0 run to take control late in regulation. Nik Stauskas and Derrick Walton Jr. scored 19 points apiece for the Wolverines, who are now the Big Ten’s lone undefeated team. Gary Harris scored 27 to lead the way for Michigan State, but not having forwards Branden Dawson and Adreian Payne proved costly for the Spartans.

IMPORTANT OUTCOMES

1) No. 4 Villanova 94, Marquette 85 (OT)

The Wildcats could have gone in the tank following a poor charge call on Tony Chennault at the end of regulation but they didn’t, ending Marquette’s 20-game conference home win streak in the process. Ryan Arcidiacono put together one of his best games as a distributor, finishing with 20 points, 11 assists and no turnovers.

2) No. 7 San Diego State 74, Utah State 69 (OT)

Xavier Thames scored a career-high 31 points to lead the Aztecs to a tough win in Logan. Spencer Butterfield’s three-pointer with 2.5 seconds remaining in regulation sent the game to overtime but it was all Thames in the extra session, as he scored ten of San Diego State’s 17 points.

3) Texas 74, No. 24 Baylor 60

Isaiah Taylor scored 27 points to lead the Longhorns to their fifth consecutive win while dropping the reeling Bears to 1-5 in Big 12 play. Rick Barnes has a better mix of players this season, and it’s paid off in a big way for the man who began this season on just about every “hot seat” list.

STARRED

1) Aaric Murray (Texas Southern)

26 points and 19 rebounds in the Tigers’ 94-56 win over Mississippi Valley State.

2) J.J. Mann (Belmont)

34 points, eight rebounds and three assists in the Bruins’ 84-81 win over Eastern Kentucky.

3) Tristan Carey (Longwood)

Carey scored 37 points and grabbed eight rebounds in the Lancers’ 88-85 win at Charleston Southern.

STRUGGLED

1) Jordan McRae (Tennessee)

Shot 1-for-15 from the field in the Volunteers’ 67-41 loss at No. 6 Florida.

2) Colorado

The Buffaloes shot 9-for-24 from the foul line in their 72-51 loss at Arizona State.

3) J.J. Avila (Colorado State)

Avila shot 1-for-12 from the field, scoring eight points and grabbing 12 rebounds in a 68-66 loss to New Mexico.
