— Jalen Reynolds had 15 points and 11 rebounds, and Xavier held off a late rally for its first road win over a Top Ten team in 20 years.

Trevon Bluiett added 15 points for Xavier (18-2, 6-2 Big East).

With Bluiett battling late foul trouble and James Farr already fouled out, the Friars used a 16-5 run to cut what had been a 17-point deficit down to 64-58 with 3:44 remaining.

No. 9 West Virginia 70, Kansas State 55

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Jonathan Holton had 14 points and 11 rebounds to lead West Virginia to a sweep of the season series.

It was Holton’s second double-double in three games for the Mountaineers (17-3, 6-2 Big 12).

Justin Edwards had 11 points for Kansas State (12-8, 2-6), which cut West Virginia’s lead to single digits in the second half just once. Dean Wade had nine points for the Wildcats, who connected on 20 of 57 shots (35.1 percent), and lost for the fifth straight time.

No. 11 Virginia 72, Wake Forest 71

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Darius Thompson hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give Virginia the victory.

Malcolm Brogdon scored 28 points and Anthony Gill added 17 for the Cavaliers (16-4, 5-3 Atlantic Coast Conference). The league’s top 3- point shooting team shook off a miserable night on the perimeter, hitting four 3s in the final minute to pull out a most unlikely victory.

Bryant Crawford scored 18 of his 22 points in the second half and Devin Thomas added 19 for the Demon Deacons (10-10, 1-7), who blew a 10-point lead with 90 seconds left. Crawford missed one of two free throws with 4.0 seconds left to set up Virginia’s last chance.

Wisconsin 82, No. 19 Indiana 79 (OT)

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Nigel Hayes scored 31 points, Ethan Happ added 25 and Wisconsin snapped Indiana’s 12-game winning streak.

The Badgers (12-9, 4-4 Big Ten) missed several chances in the closing minutes of overtime to put the game out of reach after Bronson Koenig and Jordan Hill each went 1 of 2 at the free throw line.
