Jared Sullinger had 20 points and 11 rebounds in little more than a half and No. 3-ranked Ohio State used an 18-0 blitz to roll to an 85-41 victory over Jackson State Friday. Deshaun Thomas, William Buford and Jordan Sibert each had 11 points for the Buckeyes (3-0), who were coming off an 81-74 victory over No. 7 Florida, also in the Global Sports Shootout. All 12 players on the roster saw action, with 11 scoring and all 12 grabbing at least one rebound. No. 6 Duke 82, Davidson 69: The Curry brothers got the attention. The Plumlee brothers took over the game. Mason Plumlee had 16 points and 13 rebounds, and teamed with older brother Miles to score 10 straight points during the run that carried No. 6 Duke past pesky Davidson. Austin Rivers and Seth Curry, the younger brother of former Davidson star Stephen Curry, both finished with 17 points for Duke (4-0), which was playing for the first time since Mike Krzyzewski became the winningest men's coach in Division I history. No. 13 Xavier 66, Miami of Ohio 60: Tu Holloway couldn't make a shot. No. 13 Xavier made sure the point guard's rare off night didn't have a ripple effect. Mark Lyons scored 11 of his 18 points in the first half Friday and Xavier held on for a 66-60 victory over Miami of Ohio that fit the rivalry's pattern of close games that come down to the closing minutes. Xavier (3-0) got just enough from Holloway to break open a back-and-forth game. The senior guard didn't get his first basket until 11:02 remained, a driving bank shot that put Xavier ahead to stay 46-44. Mississippi State 67, No. 15 Arizona 57: Arnett Moultrie had 19 points, 10 rebounds, three kinds of cookies and an MVP trophy. The 6-foot-11 junior forward celebrated his 21st birthday with the big outing as Mississippi State beat No. 15 Arizona to win the 2K Sports Classic benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer at Madison Square Garden. The Bulldogs (4-1) closed the game on a 10-2 run to win an in-season tournament for the first time since beating host Arizona 75-74 in the 2000 Bank One Fiesta Bowl Classic. No. 21 Marquette 95, Winthrop 73: Vander Blue scored 26 points and was one of five players in double figures as No. 21 Marquette rolled to a win over Winthrop in the opening round of the Paradise Jam Tournament also Friday.
