Hurricanes Earn 1st Win Against Duke in 45 Years

¿ NEBRASKA 71, KANSAS ST. 64: Steve Harley scored a career-high 20 points and the host Cornhuskers (15-9, 4-7) held the No. 24 Wildcats scoreless on their last eight possessions.

Kansas State (18-7, 8-3), which would have moved into a three-way tie for the Big 12 lead with a win, had pulled to 65-64 on Blake Young's three-pointer with 4 minutes 46 seconds left.

The Wildcats' Michael Beasley finished with 17 points and 10 rebounds to tie Carmelo Anthony's NCAA freshman record of 22 double-doubles.

¿ NORTH CAROLINA 84, N.C. STATE 70: Tyler Hansbrough had 32 points -- including 16 during a decisive 31-7 run that straddled halftime -- to help the No. 3 Tar Heels win on the road.

Wayne Ellington added 21 points for North Carolina (25-2, 10-2 ACC), which led by 20 points despite playing without point guard Ty Lawson, who missed his fifth straight game with a sprained ankle. Gavin Grant led the Wolfpack (15-11, 4-8) with 17 points.

¿ BUTLER 51, ILL.-CHICAGO 46: A.J. Graves scored 14 points, including the go-ahead three-pointer in the final minute, to give the No. 8 Bulldogs the road win.

The victory was the ninth straight for Butler (25-2, 14-2) and its 54th since the start of last season, giving it the best two-year win total in conference history.

Butler never tried to penetrate the zone defense of the Flames (14-13, 8-8). All but 10 of the Bulldogs' 47 shots were three-pointers, and they hit just 13 from long range.

¿ WISCONSIN 71, ILLINOIS 57: Trevon Hughes scored 18 points and Marcus Landry added 17 to help the No. 11 Badgers (22-4, 12-2) beat the host Illini and move into a first-place tie with Purdue in the Big Ten. With the loss, Illinois (11-16, 3-11) is guaranteed its first losing regular season since 1999.

¿ MARQUETTE 73, ST. JOHN'S 64: In New York, Jerel McNeal had 20 points and seven rebounds to lead the No. 25 Golden Eagles (19-6, 9-5 Big East) to their third straight win after a two-game losing streak. The Red Storm fell to 10-15, 4-10.

¿ MICHIGAN ST. 86, PENN ST. 49: Raymar Morgan scored 16 points and the No. 19 Spartans (21-5, 9-4 Big Ten) improved to 15-0 at home. Stanley Pringle had 12 points for the Nittany Lions (12-13, 4-9), who are 0-16 all-time in East Lansing.
