Comebacks common on wild Saturday in men's basketball

Kris Murray scored 26 points, Tony Perkins scored Iowa's last six points in overtime, and the host Hawkeyes defeated Michigan State 112-106 in a Big Ten men's basketball game Saturday, capping a remarkable rally.

Iowa trailed 91-78 with 94 seconds to go in the second half but made six of nine three-pointers from there, including the last four in a row in the final 32 seconds to tie the score at 101-101.

Perkins had two putbacks and two free throws as Iowa closed out the win in the final minute-plus of OT. The Hawkeyes made 17 of 36 three-pointers in regulation but did not attempt one in OT, instead relying on the inside game of Perkins, a 6-foot-4 guard, and the 6-foot-8 Murray, who combined to score 10 of their 11 points in the extra period.

Michigan State shot 63%, made 11 of 13 from three-point range and added 28 of 32 free throws in regulation. The Spartans' A.J. Hoggard made five of six from the line in the final 29 seconds and the game still went to overtime when Iowa's Payton Sandfort hit a three-pointer with 3.3 seconds left.

Murray added eight rebounds, four assists and three steals for the Hawkeyes. Perkins had 24 points, nine rebounds, six assists and three steals. Sandfort made six of 10 three-pointers and scored 22 points. Filiip Rebraca added 18 points and Connor McCaffery scored 10.

No. 17 Indiana 79, No. 5 Purdue 71: Jalen Hood-Schifino scored a career-high 35 points and Trey Galloway added 10 of his 13 in the second half, leading the Hoosiers (20-9, 11-7 Big Ten) to a victory over the host Boilermakers (24-5, 13-5).

"Tonight, we really rode him," Hoosiers standout Trayce Jackson-Davis said of Hood-Schifino. "We found a way to do something tonight that hadn't been done in a long time."

Zach Edey led the Boilermakers with 26 points and 16 rebounds. Purdue has lost three of four and blew a chance to clinch a share of the conference crown in front of its home fans, who stood outside in chilly temperatures for hours before tip-off.

North Dakota 82, St. Thomas 74: Tsotne Tsartsidze scored 20 points, B.J. Omot had 17 and the host Fighting Hawks (12-19, 6-12 Summit) beat the Tommies (18-13, 9-9), who got a career-high 27 points from Andrew Rohde.

Oral Roberts 69, South Dakota State 65: The Golden Eagles (27-4, 18-0 Summit League) won their 14th game in a row, ending the seven-game winning streak of the host Jackrabbits (18-12, 13-5).

Arizona State 89, No. 7 Arizona 88: Desmond Cambridge Jr. hit a 60-foot shot at the buzzer and the Sun Devils (20-9, 11-7 Pac-12) rallied from a 10-point deficit to stun the host Wildcats (24-5, 13-5).

"I did not think that shot was going in," said Cambridge, who finished with 19 points.

Catching the ball with 2.4 seconds left, Cambridge launched his winning shot from beyond half-court.

Florida State 85, No. 13 Miami (Fla.) 84: Matthew Cleveland's three-pointer as time expired capped a comeback from a 25-point second-half deficit as the Seminoles (9-20, 7-11 ACC) stunned the host Hurricanes (23-6, 14-5).

Jordan Miller had given Miami the lead on a three-pointer with 4.9 seconds left. But Cleveland let fly from about 25 feet and the ball swished to give the Seminoles their best moment of the season.

No. 2 Alabama 86, Arkansas 83: Brandon Miller scored 24 points and the host Crimson Tide (25-4, 15-1 SEC) held off the Razorbacks (19-10, 8-8). Miller delivered his second huge game in a row since police alleged in courtroom testimony that he brought a gun to ex-teammate Darius Miles, who is charged with capital murder in a fatal shooting.

No. 9 Baylor 81, No. 8 Texas 72: Jalen Bridges had 17 points for the host Bears (21-8, 10-6 Big 12), which overcame a huge deficit with an impressive run right after freshman standout Keyonte George left injured early and beat the Longhorns (22-7, 11-5).

No. 3 Kansas 76, West Virginia 74: Dajuan Harris scored 17 points to help the host Jayhawks (24-5, 12-4 Big 12) hold off the Mountaineers (16-13, 5-11). The stifling Kansas defense kept West Virginia from attempting a shot in the final 20 seconds.

North Carolina 71, No. 6 Virginia 63: Pete Nance scored 22 points as the host Tar Heels (18-11, 10-8 ACC) secured an important victory, beating the Cavaliers (21-6, 13-5). It was UNC's first home victory over an AP top 10-ranked team since March 9, 2019.
