GAME OF THE NIGHT: No. 9 North Carolina 89, No. 2 Maryland 81

In Marcus Paige’s season debut, he had a big night for North Carolina as the senior guard had 20 points, five assists and two steals as the Tar Heels looked good at full strength. Maryland used 23 points and 12 assists from sophomore guard Melo Trimble, but it wasn’t enough.

CBT’s Rob Dauster was at this game and has more on this one.

IMPORTANT OUTCOMES

Michigan 66, N.C. State 59: Playing without starting point guard Derrick Walton Jr. in the second half, the Wolverines still played well enough to win on the road in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Caris LeVert played a tremendous overall floor game to finish with 18 points, nine rebounds and seven assists while Duncan Robinson came off the bench to hit five 3-pointers and finish with 17 points.

No. 11 Purdue 72, Pitt 59: When Purdue needed its defense to step up and get stops, the Boilermakers got it done. Pitt went over four minutes without a field goal in the second half as Purdue improved to 7-0. A.J. Hammons had 24 points and 12 rebounds and looked dominant for stretches of the second half. Freshman guard Ryan Cline had four 3-pointers and finished with 12 points for the Boilers.

No. 21 Miami 77, Nebraska 72: The Hurricanes responded after the home loss to Northeastern with a tough overtime win in a hostile road environment. Angel Rodriguez had 15 points and Sheldon McClellan added 14 points to lead a balanced effort for Miami. Shavon Shields had 28 points in the loss for the Cornhuskers.

STARRED

A.J. English, Iona: Iona was able to run past Fairfield as the senior guard had 46 points and made 13 3-pointers in the win. English also tallied eight assists as he went 15-for-25 from the field and 13-for-19 from 3-point range.

Jack Gibbs, Davidson: The junior guard had 25 points by halftime and he went 14-for-14 before finally missing a field goal in the second half. Gibbs finished with 41 points in total in the win over Charlotte as he was 14-for-17 from the field. He did it in front of a special guest as well.

Robert Hatter, Cornell: The junior guard helped the Big Red to a win over Siena as Hatter had 32 points and six assists to go along with three rebounds and three steals.

D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera, Georgetown: The Hoyas earned an easy home win over Maryland-Eastern Shore as the senior guard went for 30 points on 10-for-16 shooting.
