    Tourney MVP Frank Kaminsky guides Wisconsin to Battle 4 Atlantis title

    Frank Kaminsky's trip to the Bahamas was going from bad to worse.

    That is, until the big moments arrived.

    Kaminsky scored 14 of his 17 points in the second half on the way to tournament MVP honors, Duje Dukan and Traevon Jackson each added 13 and the second-ranked Badgers beat Oklahoma 69-56 on Friday to win the Battle 4 Atlantis championship.

    No 16 Buckeyes beat James Madison 73-56

    While blowing away overmatched teams and shooting 60 percent, No. 16 Ohio State hasn't really needed an inside presence.

    But it did on Friday in a 73-56 win over James Madison, and now it will again when it takes on No. 6 Louisville in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on Tuesday.

    No. 19 Michigan routs Nicholls St 91-62

    While Derrick Walton sat out with a toe injury, Spike Albrecht helped ease some of coach John Beilein's concerns.

    Point guard is one spot where Michigan definitely has a capable backup.

    Albrecht had 10 points, seven assists, three steals and no turnovers, and the 19th-ranked Wolverines bounced back from their first loss of the season with a 91-62 victory over Nicholls State on Saturday. Caris LeVert scored 19 of his 24 points in the first half for Michigan.

    Daquein McNeil to plead not guilty

    -- An attorney for Minnesota guard Daquein McNeil says the sophomore will plead not guilty to charges he attacked and injured his girlfriend.

    McNeil appeared Monday in Hennepin County court. The 21-year-old is charged with two felony counts of assault for allegedly choking his girlfriend and whipping her with a belt last week.

    Spike Albrecht's late 3-pointer helps Michigan get past Syracuse

    Spike Albrecht found enough room against the Syracuse zone for one more 3-pointer, and when it rattled in with about a half-minute remaining, Michigan had regained the edge.

    "All night, we were really just trying to get two feet in the paint and Derrick (Walton) did a great job getting into the paint and ended up drawing the defense in," Albrecht said. "He made a great kickout and fortunately I was able to knock it down."

    Albrecht's shot with 31 seconds remaining put Michigan ahead, and the 17th-ranked Wolverines held on to beat Syracuse 68-65 on Tuesday night. The ACC-Big Ten Challenge matchup was the first meeting between these teams since Michigan won an NCAA semifinal in 2013.

    Iowa stuns No. 12 North Carolina despite shooting woes

    Mike Gesell and his Iowa teammates shook off all the missed shots, ran down loose rebounds and fought their way through to the horn.

    North Carolina coach Roy Williams never saw that kind of toughness from his team.

    Gesell hit a driving layup for the go-ahead three-point play with 1:16 left, helping the Hawkeyes upset the No. 12 Tar Heels 60-55 on Wednesday night in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

    No. 2 Wisconsin manages win vs. rival Marquette

    Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said the win over in-state rival Marquette reminded him of playground basketball.

    There must have been plenty of misses and defense when Ryan played while growing up in suburban Philadelphia.

    Josh Gasser scored 12 points on four 3-pointers, while 7-footer Frank Kaminsky added 15 points and 10 rebounds in the No. 2 Badgers' 49-38 victory.

    Russell, Loving lead No. 14 Buckeyes, 70-50

    To hear Kam Williams tell it, the Ohio State Buckeyes have a lot of role players just waiting to shine when their time arrives.

    D'Angelo Russell scored 14 of his 19 points in the second half and Marc Loving added 17 points to lead No. 14 Ohio State to a 70-50 victory over Colgate on Saturday night.

    No. 19 Michigan St. tops Arkansas-Pine Bluff 85-52

    Michigan State coach Tom Izzo loves his team's unselfishness and wants his players to have personal goals, too.

    The No. 19 Spartans assisted on 25 of their first 26 baskets and Matt Costello and Travis Trice each scored 15 points to rout Arkansas-Pine Bluff 85-52 on Saturday.

    No. 21 Maryland beats Winthrop 82-62

    Maryland rebounded from its first loss of the season with a performance far more befitting the 21st-ranked team in the country.

    Jake Layman scored 21 points, Melo Trimble and Richaud Pack had 16 apiece and the Terrapins pulled away to an 82-62 victory over Winthrop on Saturday.

    No. 24 Illinois tops American 70-55

    With the opposing styles of American and No. 24 Illinois, something had to give.

    American entered the game ranked third in scoring defense, while Illinois was 10th in offense at 86 points per game.

    The game was played at a sluggish pace, but the Illini pulled away from the Eagles 70-55 behind 13 points from Malcolm Hill.

    No. 5 Wisconsin tops Wisconsin-Milwaukee for 22nd straight time

    The basketball bonds between Bo Ryan and Rob Jeter go back a long way, but the fifth-ranked Wisconsin Badgers showed no mercy for their head coach's protege.

    Frank Kaminsky scored 18 points and Sam Dekker added 17 as Ryan's Badgers continued their dominance over in-state rival Wisconsin-Milwaukee and his former assistant with an easy 93-54 victory on Wednesday night.

    Kam Williams' career-best 23 leads Buckeyes, 97-43

    Kam Williams has always been a scorer. From the crib to college he's never been afraid to shoot and has never had trouble making shots.

    Now he's ready to make a big impact on a big stage.

    Williams scored a career-high 23 points, including 13 in a row for Ohio State in the first half, to lead the 12th-ranked Buckeyes to a 97-43 victory over High Point on Wednesday night.

    Dekker has 17, No. 5 Wisconsin beat Nicholls St

    Sam Dekker would like everyone to know they can stop asking about his ankle.

    "I haven't got that question in the past few weeks," the junior deadpanned Saturday after scoring 17 points to lead No. 5 Wisconsin to an 86-43 win over Nicholls State.

    No. 19 Maryland tops South Carolina-Upstate 67-57

    Maryland coach Mark Turgeon implored his team stay confident after the Terrapins struggled to make shots in the first half against South Carolina-Upstate.

    His players responded with a dominant performance on both ends of the court.

    Freshman Melo Trimble earned his first double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds as No. 19 Maryland overcame a halftime deficit to pull away from the Spartans 67-57 on Saturday.

    Russell's 21 lifts No. 12 Ohio State past A&T, 97-55

    In its first game against a North Carolina school, No. 12 Ohio State did all right.

    The next one will be a truer test.

    D'Angelo Russell scored 21 points and Marc Loving had 15, leading the Buckeyes to a 97-55 victory over North Carolina A&T on Wednesday night.

    No. 25 Michigan State beats Eastern Michigan 66-46

    Michigan State's Branden Dawson went up for what would have been an emphatic dunk -- a brief highlight in a game without very many of them.

    But before he could slam the ball through the hoop, Dawson was fouled and landed hard on the court. He then left the game and didn't return.

    "Every time I feel good about (the team), there's something else that goes wrong," Spartans coach Tom Izzo said. "It looks like just a bad sprain so far."

    Dawson's injured left wrist put a bit of a damper on Michigan State's 66-46 victory over Eastern Michigan on Wednesday night, but the 25th-ranked Spartans did deny the Eagles another upset win over an in-state foe. Eastern Michigan beat Michigan in Ann Arbor last week.

    Gaston Diedhiou eligible for Gophers

    Minnesota freshman forward Gaston Diedhiou has been admitted to the university and added to the roster.

    The Gophers made the announcement Thursday that the 6-foot-9, 240-pound Diedhiou has joined the team and will be immediately eligible to play.

    The native of Dakar, Senegal, was denied admission for the fall semester because of problems with the school's English proficiency exam. Diedhiou played at the Canaris Basketball Academy in Spain. He'll give the team some needed depth in the frontcourt, following the decision by freshman forward Josh Martin to transfer from the program.
