Aggies freshman DeAndre Jordan continued his stellar play. He came into the game having made 16 straight field goals to set a school and Big 12 Conference record. Jordan made his first attempt, but missed a follow to end his streak at 17 straight. He fell seven short of the NCAA record set by Ray Voekel for American during the 1978-79 season.
KANSAS 87, NORTHERN ARIZONA 46: Darrell Arthur had 17 points and the fourth-ranked Jayhawks overwhelmed Northern Arizona in the first half. It was the 600th win for Kansas in the 52-year history of Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kan.
Kansas poured it on from the start, scoring the first 12 points and building a 29-4 lead with 7 1/2 minutes left. The Jayhawks shot 61 percent and held Northern Arizona without a double-figure scorer, getting an easy victory before facing Arizona on Sunday in what should be their first real test of the season.
Darnell Jackson had 13 points and Brandon Rush scored six in his second game back from knee surgery for Kansas, 4-0 for the first time since 2004-05.
And the Jayhawks did it without leading scorer Sherron Collins, who is not expected back until January because of a broken foot.
Northern Arizona (3-2) had a decent game the last time it faced a ranked opponent, losing to then-No. 17 Arizona by just seven on Nov. 13.
CLEMSON 74, PRESBYTERIAN 57: K.C. Rivers scored 18 points, Cliff Hammonds added 14 and the No. 24 Tigers improved to 17-0 in the last three Novembers with the win at home.
Clemson (4-0) is 22-1 in November during Coach Oliver Purnell's five seasons. Its only loss came Nov. 29, 2004, a 79-70 defeat to Boston College before the Eagles joined the Atlantic Coast Conference.
VMI 90, JAMES MADISON 83: In Lexington, Va., Reggie Williams scored 30 points to lead the Keydets to their first victory over the Dukes since 1988.
VMI (2-2) led James Madison (2-1) early and maintained the lead through much of the first half, letting the Dukes get no closer than two points until a jumper from Ben Louis finally pushed the Dukes ahead, 36-35, with 3:34 on the clock.
