Eight Maryland players scored at least seven points and every Terrapin who saw the floor scored as the ninth-ranked team in the nation routed Bethune-Cookman 95-49 in College Park, Md., on Thursday.
Kyndal Walker, Oluchi Okananwa and Kaylene Smikle led the balanced scoring effort for Maryland (6-0) with 13 points each. Yarden Garzon added 12 points and Breanna Williams came off the bench for another 12 points with a game-high eight rebounds.
The Terps held the Wildcats (1-4) scoreless for the game's first 6:33, building a 20-point lead in the process. Jordan Brooks was the only Wildcat to score in double-figures, finishing with 13 points off the bench thanks to hitting all three of her 3-point shots.
No. 12 Iowa State 87, Drake 60
Addy Brown recorded a 12-point, 15-rebound double-double, Audi Crooks scored 22 points, and the Cyclones rolled past the Bulldogs in Des Moines, Iowa.
Iowa State (6-0) scored the game's first 16 points, immediately quashing any hope that Drake had of scoring the home upset.
The Bulldogs (1-3) had no answer for Crooks, who shot 7 of 11 from the floor while Brown excelled in all phases, flirting with a triple-double at seven assists. Six Iowa State players scored in double figures.
No. 14 North Carolina 85, North Carolina A&T 50
Indya Nivar's 14-point, 10-rebound effort led the Tar Heels to a dominating win over the Aggies in Greensboro, N.C.
After a sluggish first quarter, leading just 14-8 through 10 minutes, the Tar Heels (4-1) erupted for 29 second-quarter points. North Carolina put the game away in the third quarter, holding the Aggies (2-4) scoreless for a stretch lasting almost five minutes.
Four Tar Heels scored in double figures, including Nyla Brooks, who knocked down four 3-pointers en route to 14 points off the bench.
No. 22 Michigan State 101, Eastern Illinois 53
Grace VanSlooten and Juliann Woodard each scored 17 points as the Spartans shook off the Panthers after a competitive first quarter to cruise to victory in East Lansing, Mich.
The Spartans (5-0) held just a three-point lead in the final minute of the first quarter, but Emma Shumate's 3-pointer began a 23-5 run that lasted well into the second quarter.
After giving up 19 first-quarter points, Michigan State allowed just 34 the rest of the way to drop Eastern Illinois to 0-4. The Spartans forced 27 turnovers, which included four steals each from VanSlooten and Theryn Hallock.
No. 23 West Virginia 80, Appalachian State 51
Gia Cooke scored 19 points and Kierra Wheeler added 15 to go along with five rebounds and five steals to lift West Virginia to an easy win in a matchup of Mountaineers in Morgantown, W. Va.
Jordan Thomas had 10 points for West Virginia (5-0), which has won each of its last 21 home games -- including all four this season.
West Virginia shot a robust 56.3% from the floor and benefited from 17 steals to hand Appalachian State (3-2) its second loss in three games.
