Nick Boyd had 29 points and John Blackwell added 24 to pace Wisconsin to a dominant 92-71 victory over No. 10 Michigan State in a Big Ten Conference matchup Friday night in Madison, Wis.
It was the second consecutive top-10 victory for Wisconsin (18-7, 10-4 Big Ten), which won at No. 8 Illinois 92-90 in overtime Tuesday. The Badgers are also the only team to have beaten Michigan, currently No. 2 in the country.
Wisconsin's Nolan Winter had 10 points and 11 rebounds for his 12th double-double of the season. The Badgers had 38 rebounds to match the Spartans, who entered second in the nation with a 13.1 rebound margin.
Wisconsin went in front 67-45 with 13:10 left on consecutive 3-pointers by Blackwell and Boyd. The Spartans (20-5, 10-4) got no closer than 17 points the rest of the way for their third loss in four games. Coen Carr had 19 points and Jeremy Fears Jr. added 14 points, along with 12 assists on Michigan State's 24 field goals. Fears entered No. 1 in the country with 9.1 assists per game.
No. 18 Saint Louis 86, Loyola Chicago 59
Trey Green and Ishan Sharma each scored 14 points to lead the Billikens to a road win over the Ramblers, Saint Louis' 18th consecutive victory.
Quentin Jones tallied 12 points and six rebounds while Amari McCottry added 11 points and seven rebounds for Saint Louis (24-1, 12-0 Atlantic 10).
Justin Moore led Loyola (6-20, 2-11) with 12 points. Daniil Glazkov added 11 points and six rebounds for the Ramblers, who lost for the 11th time in 12 games.
No. 23 Miami (Ohio) 90, Ohio 74
Brant Byers scored 21 points and Peter Suder added 20 as the RedHawks remained the nation's only unbeaten team with a win over the archrival Bobcats in Oxford, Ohio.
Byers shot 13-for-16 from the free-throw line while Eian Elmer added 15 points for Miami (25-0, 12-0 Mid-American), which took the lead for good in the game's first five minutes and never trailed the rest of the way. The 25-game win streak is the longest in the country to start a season since Gonzaga went 31-0 before losing the national championship game in the 2020-21 season.
Jackson Paveletzke had 22 points and Javan Simmons scored 12 for the Bobcats (13-13, 7-6), who had three early leads in the opening minutes. Luke Skaljac's layup broke a 10-10 tie and gave the RedHawks the lead for good with 15:37 left in the first half.
