(5) DUKE 83, (25) MIAMI 75: Gary Trent Jr. scored a season-high 30 points and the Blue Devils (16-2, 4-2 ACC) needed less than three minutes to erase a 13-point second-half deficit, scoring 18 consecutive points to beat the Hurricanes (13-4, 2-3) in Coral Gables, Florida.

The Blue Devils scored 15 points in only six possessions to rally, and the comeback included a trio of 3-pointers by Trent. He shot 9 for 14, including 6 for 9 from beyond the arc.

Duke extended its winning streak against ranked teams to seven games, including four this season. Miami lost at home for the first time this season.

Moritz Wagner had 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Wolverines, and reserve Jordan Poole had 11 points.

Michigan was trailing by as much as 14 in the first half and was behind 30-20 at halftime, looking lethargic after an emotionally charged win over then-No. 4 Michigan State two days earlier. The Wolverines opened the second half with a 10-0 run and later took the lead with 13:02 left while making three 3-pointers in 44 seconds.

UConn found itself challenged like it seldom has been this season and trailed early in the fourth quarter before scrapping back for the win. Azura Stevens scored eight of her 16 points in the fourth quarter.

UConn earned its 102nd consecutive regular-season victory but it was in question when Samuelson missed two free throws with 15 seconds left. Dangerfield put the game away from the line seconds later. UConn was able to cut valuable seconds off the clock in the final 30 seconds because Texas had committed so few fouls and couldn’t force the Huskies to the line.

(23) GREEN BAY 60, IUPUI 34: Allie LeClaire scored 20 points on 8-of-9 shooting, Jessica Lindstrom had 15 and the Phoenix (15-2, 5-1 Horizon League) beat the Jaguars (13-4, 5-1) in Indianapolis.
