Minnesota hands Ohio State 1st loss
December 15, 2019
By The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Marcus Carr scored a career-high 35 points and Daniel Oturu had 14 points and 13 rebounds, and Minnesota toppled undefeated and third-ranked Ohio State 84-71 on Sunday night for coach Richard Pitino's first win against a top-five team.

Oturu outworked Kaleb Wesson in the paint to win the battle of two of the Big Ten's best big men with his sixth double-double of the season for the Gophers (5-5, 1-1). Prior to this game, the highest-ranked opponent they'd beaten in seven years under Pitino was No. 6 Maryland on Feb. 18, 2016.

Freshmen D.J. Carton (19 points) and E.J. Liddell (14 points) had season highs off the bench for the Buckeyes (9-1, 1-1), and Wesson had 12 points and six rebounds with his playing time limited by foul trouble.

Carr, who's in his debut with the Gophers after sitting out last season following a transfer from Pittsburgh, shot 12 for 17 from the floor to lead a determined bounce-back from a 20-point loss at Iowa earlier in the week.

WOFFORD 68, NO. 17 NORTH CAROLINA 64

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - Wofford traveled to Chapel Hill and shocked a ranked North Carolina team again, getting 19 points from Trevor Stumpe and riding a 16-0 run in the second half to beat the Tar Heels.

Storm Murphy added 15 points and Messiah Jones had 13 points for the Terriers (7-4), who went on the road to beat North Carolina for the second time in three years.

Wofford, a 12-point underdog, made four 3-pointers during its decisive spurt, a 6-minute stretch in which the Tar Heels missed 10 consecutive shots.

Garrison Brooks had 17 points and 12 rebounds for North Carolina (6-4) in its first regular-season game at Carmichael Arena since Jan. 4, 1986.

Brandon Robinson added a career-high 16 points for the Tar Heels, who lost their third straight game.

No. 24 Texas Tech avoids upset, beats Southern Miss 71-65
December 16, 2019

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) Texas Tech is back in the AP Top 25 after the school's first-ever win over a No. 1 team.

The 24th-ranked Red Raiders did just enough to stay there against a team that had already been blown out twice by ranked opponents this season.

Terrence Shannon Jr. scored 18 points and Texas Tech rallied in the second half for a 71-65 victory over Southern Miss on Monday night.

Davide Moretti scored 17 points and hit a punctuating 3-pointer on an otherwise rough shooting night as the Red Raiders (7-3) extended the nation's second-longest active home nonconference winning streak to 52 games.

''I think a lot of times when we sit around and feel sorry for ourselves. We're disrespecting the opponent,'' coach Chris Beard said. ''They played harder than us in a lot of stretches of the game and we don't really say that about our team as much but that's exactly what happened.''

Texas Tech, which lost to Virginia in overtime in the national championship game last season, had dropped from 12th all the way out of the Top 25 with two straight losses, then lost again at DePaul.

The Red Raiders returned to the poll following a two-week absence with a 70-57 victory over then-No. 1 Louisville at Madison Square Garden in New York last Tuesday.

But the Golden Eagles (3-9) led well into the second half and were within two points in the final three minutes despite playing without leading scorer Boban Jacdonmi and two other players who have started this season.

''We're a team in transition,'' coach Jay Ladner said. ''I thought it was good for our young players. I am in no way happy that we lost and not taking any type of solace, any type of moral victory and our players aren't either.''

Texas Tech was also short-handed in its fourth straight game without freshman Jahmi'us Ramsey. The team's leading scorer has been sidelined by a hamstring injury.

LaDavius Draine scored 21 points and Gabe Watson added 20 in Southern Miss' eighth consecutive loss to a ranked team going back to January 2011. Three of the defeats have come this season, including 25-point losses to Gonzaga, which was seventh and is up to No. 2, and Seton Hall, unranked now but 13th at the time.

Graduate transfer Chris Clarke had his second double-double for Texas Tech with 14 points and 11 rebounds and led the Red Raiders with six assists.

Texas Tech went ahead for good at 52-51 on a layup by Kyler Edwards with 8:54 remaining.

Moretti, the only returning starter for Texas Tech, was 1 of 12 from the field while missing all seven 3-point attempts in the first half.

The junior guard hit one from long range to get the Red Raiders going early in the second half, then another for the biggest Texas Tech lead to that point at 67-60 with 55 seconds to go. He finished 4 of 17 from the field.

''I know how much time I spend in the gym,'' Moretti said. ''When I'm not shooting well I just repeat to myself, `I work too hard to not do good, to not shoot well.' I pay the price every day so it's just like a mental thing.''

BIG PICTURE

Southern Miss: While the losing streak against ranked teams continued, it was the first time in five such games that the Golden Eagles lost by less than 25 points.

Texas Tech: The Red Raiders made up for another bad shooting night by going 24 of 27 on free throws. With Moretti going 3 of 11 from long range, Texas Tech was 5 of 22 for 23% beyond the arc. They haven't been above 33% from long range in the past five games.

POLL IMPLICATIONS

Now that they're back on a winning streak, the Red Raiders are in position to enter Big 12 play ranked. If they stay there, the next ranked opponent is likely to be Baylor, currently No. 10, in the second conference game.

CLARKE'S SURGE

Clarke, who transferred from Virginia Tech, has reached double figures in rebounds in four of the past five games and is starting to show some triple-double potential. His season high in assists is nine, reached twice. ''He's a complete player,'' said Edwards, who scored nine points along with TJ Holyfield.

UP NEXT

Southern Miss: Hosts Tougaloo College on Saturday.

Texas Tech: Faces Texas-Rio Grande Valley in the second of five straight home games Saturday.

Tuesday’s 6-pack

Interesting Week 16 NFL games:

— Bills @ Patriots (-6.5)

— Texans (-3) @ Buccaneers

— Saints (-1.5) @ Titans

— Bengals @ Dolphins (-1)

— Cowboys (-2.5) @ Eagles

— Packers @ Vikings (-4.5)

Quote of the Day:
“I mean, they could be (the final two games). I don’t necessarily expect that it is, or I don’t necessarily think it’s a crazy thought that it will be. I think you just don’t know.”
Philip Rivers, contemplating his future

Tuesday’s quiz
What fine actor played the football coach at Wisconsin in the movie Draft Day?

Monday’s quiz
Ben Simmons played his one year of college basketball at LSU.

Sunday’s quiz
The Liberty Bowl is played in Memphis every December.

******************************

Tuesday’s List of 13: Nobody asked me, but…..

13) Arizona Diamondbacks gave Madison Bumgarner $85M for five years, lot less than the $118M the Phillies gave Zack Wheeler for the same five years. Surprising.

12) Seahawks’ WR Josh Gordon has been suspended indefinitely for violating the NFL’s policies on performance-enhancing substances and substances of abuse.

If anyone else gives this guy a chance, they’re a moron; Gordon should be banned by the NFL. He’s been suspended six times since 2013. Enough already.

11) Jameis Winston is the first player EVER to throw for 450+ yards in consecutive regular-season games (Drew Brees did it in consecutive playoff games).

10) Carolina Panthers will start rookie QB Will Grier this week against Indianapolis; Carolina lost its last six games, has already fired their coach.

9) Saints 34, Colts 7:
— Horrible, non-competitive effort by the Colts, one of the worst Monday night games ever.
— New Orleans needs two wins and a Green Bay loss to earn a bye in playoffs.
— ESPN crew turned telecast into a Drew Brees infomercial; Brees was 29-30/307 with four TD passes.

— Booger McFarland called Tom Brady the best QB ever; so if he was drafting a team, with every QB ever (in his prime) available, and he had the first pick, he would take Brady over Elway, Marino, Montana and Peyton Manning? Seriously?

8) Sunday night was the first time the Buffalo Bills had been on Sunday Night Football since 2007; it was the first time they beat the Steelers since 1999.

7) Baseball stuff:
— Texas Rangers acquired 34-year old P Corey Kluber from Cleveland, for Delino DeShields Jr and a prospect.
— Minnesota signed reliever Sergio Romo.
— Tampa Bay signed Japanese OF/1B Yoshitomo Tsutsugo.

6) North Carolina lost four of its last five games after a 5-0 start; they lost to Wofford Sunday (for 2nd time in three years) after scoring 49-47 points in their previous two losses. Tar Heels have the #308 eFG%; they’re not shooting ball well (28.7% on arc (#304), 44.6% inside arc (#298), 63.2% on line (#317)).

Freshman Cole Anthony is their best player, and he is out indefinitely now with a knee injury. Carolina plays at Gonzaga Wednesday; they’ll be the underdog there.

5) Miami Heat are paying Dion Waiters $12,100,000 this year, $12,650,000 next year, but they have problems with him.

Miami suspended Waiters for the second time in three months when he called in sick, then later posted a picture of himself enjoying some time on a boat, one of more than a half dozen team violations by Waiters this season, including complaining on the bench during the preseason, refusing to do a required weigh-in and several inappropriate posts on social media.

4) Virginia Tech announced Tracy Claeys as the team’s new linebackers coach; Claeys was the DC at Washington State this year, but was the scapegoat and left his job after the Coogs lost 67-63 to UCLA, blowing a 49-17 third quarter lead.

3) Milwaukee Brewers signed OF Avasail Garcia to a 2-year contract for $20M; Garcia hit 20 HR’s with 72 RBI for the Rays LY, in what CBS Sports described as: “…….an uncharacteristically productive season.” Not exactly high praise there.

2) Kansas Jayhawks are the 5th #1 team in college basketball this season, the most #1 teams ever for this early in the season.

1) Out of 353 Division I college basketball teams, only four are still unbeaten; Liberty and Duquesne are two of them (Auburn, San Diego State are the others). Go figure.
