Recap Roundups
January 08, 2017
North Carolina 107, N.C. State 56
A few shots fell and then it was like an avalanche for No. 14 North Carolina on Sunday afternoon.
Northwestern 74, Nebraska 66
Northwestern made 11 3-pointers and rallied from a halftime deficit Sunday to hand Nebraska its first Big Ten loss, a 74-66 decision at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Neb.
Purdue 66, Wisconsin 55
Having lost an overtime home game to Minnesota on New Year's Day, No. 20 Purdue certainly couldn't afford a second Big Ten loss in Mackey Arena in a week if the Boilermakers hope to challenge for the conference regular-season championship.
Iowa 68, Rutgers 62
The Iowa Hawkeyes used a late second-half surge to defeat the Rutgers Scarlet Knights 68-62 on Sunday at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Minnesota 78, Ohio St. 68
Akeem Springs came off the bench to drill five 3-pointers and score 18 points, pushing him over 1,000 points for his career, on Sunday night as Minnesota recorded a 78-68 Big Ten Conference win over Ohio State at Williams Arena in Minneapolis.
Virginia 79, Wake Forest 62
After Virginia's loss to Pittsburgh on Wednesday, its second straight defeat, head coach Tony Bennett made it known to senior guard London Perrantes that his role was different this season. Bennett preached that Perrantes needed to take his team under his wing and lead them the rest of the way.
UCLA 89, Stanford 75
No. 4 UCLA surpassed its win total of last season with an 89-75 win Sunday over Stanford behind guard Lonzo Ball's 21 points, but coach Steve Alford is not about to term everything a success to this point.
California 74, Southern California 73
Ivan Rabb made the big plays when Cal needed them most, helping the Golden Bears knock off No. 25 USC 74-73 in a Pac-12 Conference thriller Sunday night at the Galen Center in Los Angeles.
