Ohio State 80, No. 1 Michigan State 64: Keita Bates-Diop scored a career-high 32 points Sunday, and the Buckeyes stunned the top-ranked Spartans in Columbus, Ohio.
The overachieving Buckeyes put together an electrifying 12-0 run to finish the first half and kept their foot on the gas to give first-year coach Chris Holtmann a signature win.
Ohio State (13-4, 4-0 Big Ten) won for its third straight in taking down the best team it is likely to see this season. The mistake-prone Spartans (15-2, 3-1) lost for the first time in the last 15 games, dating back to a seven-point loss to then-No. 1 Duke on Nov. 14.
The Spartans, who came in leading the nation with a 53.3 field goal percentage, shot just 39 percent for the game and committed a dozen turnovers. Joshua Langford and Miles Bridges each scored 17 points.
Bates-Diop hit 12 of 21 attempts from the floor, including 2 of 4 from the 3-point line. His previous career high was 27 points against Iowa three days ago.
C.J. Jackson had 14 points for Ohio State, and Jae'Sean Tate added 13.
With the exception of Bates-Diop, neither team shot particularly well in the first half.
Kam Williams opened up the second half with a slam, and the Buckeyes never trailed again. Michigan State pulled to within 14 points with 6:25 left but couldn't get closer.
Fans streamed onto the court afterward to celebrate the win with players.
Ohio State last beat the No. 1 team in the country in 2007, when the then-No. 2 Buckeyes beat Wisconsin, 49-48.
No. 9 Wichita State 95, South Florida 57: His team had just been blown out, and South Florida coach Brian Gregory grabbed the stat sheet to make sure his players saw a small number that stood out to him.
Landry Shamet, the star guard for No. 9 Wichita State, took just two shots in Sunday's win.
"Two shots the whole game," Gregory said. "He don't care. I mean, All-American, NBA first-round pick, and he doesn't care about any of that. That's because of the type of high-level program they've built."
Shaquille Morris led the Shockers (13-2, 3-0 American Athletic) with 15 points. Zach Brown had 13 points, and Markis McDuffie scored 12 for Wichita State. Darral Willis finished with 11.
No. 15 Miami 80, No. 24 Florida St. 74: Five-foot-7 freshman Chris Lykes scored a season-high 18 points, and the No. 15 Hurricanes withstood a late rally by the No. 24 Seminoles.
Bruce Brown scored a season-high 23 points and Dewan Huell had 20 points and eight rebounds for the Hurricanes, who took the lead for good in the early minutes and made 13 of their first 14 shots.
Miami (13-2, 2-1 ACC) won at home for the first time since Dec. 5. The Seminoles (12-3, 1-2) lost for the third time in their past six games.
No. 19 Cincinnati 76, SMU 56: Jacob Evans III scored 18 points, and Gary Clark had a big second half as the No. 19 Bearcats pulled away from the Mustangs, extending the longest active home-court winning streak in the country.
The game matched the American Athletic Conference's top defensive teams, and it showed in the first half as they went a combined 15 of 52 from the field, and the Bearcats led, 34-20.
Cincinnati (14-2, 3-0) broke it open with a 12-point run late in the first half featuring Evans' 3-pointer. Clark scored 13 of his 18 points in the second half as the Bearcats finally got the ball inside and pushed the lead to 20.
