Jordan Taylor and the Wisconsin Badgers watched their shooting touch abandon them during a frantic rally by border-state rival Minnesota. The frustration didn't linger into overtime, though. It didn't even last past half court. That's the way Bo Ryan coaches them to think on defense. Taylor scored 27 points for his first college win in his home state, and No.

No. 20 Mississippi State beats Ole Miss (AP)

Dee Bost is Mississippi State's career assists leader, so he knows the art of throwing a good alley-oop pass. The senior admits his form gets a little sloppy when throwing them to Arnett Moultrie.

Indiana coach Tom Crean challenged his team to be tougher than Illinois on Thursday night. When it mattered most, they were. Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo repeatedly drew fouls, did much of the damage inside and combined on a late scoring frenzy to send No. 23 Indiana past Illinois 84-71. "You have to execute under pressure, that's one of the greatest forms of toughness you can have,"...

Austin Rivers pulled up, launched a high-arcing 3-pointer -- and shot No. 10 Duke right back to the top of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The freshman capped the Blue Devils' furious rally with a buzzer-beater that gave them an 85-84 win over No. 5 North Carolina on Wednesday night -- and just might have put their season back on track.

"In practice every day, punching him in his chest, jumping on him, trying to get him fired up," Taylor said. "He came out and played amazing." Withey, coming of a scoreless game, rebounded with a career-high 25 points for the seventh-ranked Jayhawks in another...
