Badgers hand Blue Devils first loss; Big Ten finally tops ACC

Trevon Hughes scored 19 of his career-high 26 points in the second half and Wisconsin held on to beat Duke 73-69 on Wednesday, snapping the Blue Devils’ perfect record in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.

The Badgers (5-1) never trailed and got a measure of payback against Duke (6-1) after being routed 82-58 two years ago in Durham, N.C., by ending the Blue Devils’ 10-game winning streak in the annual event and the ACC’s perfect record as well.

Kyle Singler scored 17 of his career-high 28 points in the first half and Andre Dawkins went 4 of 4 from 3-point range to finish with 12 for Duke.

No. 15 Ohio St. 77, No. 21 Florida St. 64: Evan Turner had 25 points and 13 rebounds and Jon Diebler added 22 points to lead Ohio State (6-1) past Florida State in Columbus, clinching the Big Ten’s first win in 11 years of its annual series with the ACC.

Reserve Jeremie Simmons added 14 points for the Buckeyes, who improved to 3-5 in the annual series with the ACC, with another win vacated by NCAA violations in 2000.

Boston College 62, Michigan 58: Corey Raji scored a season-high 24 points and Boston College held on for a victory over Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Raji scored his first nine points – all in the lane – in the first 7 minutes. He had half of his team’s points when the Eagles (5-2) led 34-24 at halftime.

Manny Harris scored 19 for the Wolverines (3-3).

Miami 63, Minnesota 58: Freshman Durand Scott scored a season-high 20 points, including consecutive breakaway baskets in the final minute, and the Hurricanes remained unbeaten by rallying past Minnesota in Coral Gables.

The Hurricanes (8-0) won their 15th consecutive nonconference regular-season game.

They’ve started a season with eight wins in a row four other times, most recently two years ago.

Minnesota (4-3) lost its third game in a row.

Malcolm Grant scored 16 points off the bench for the Hurricanes, and James Dews added 11. Lawrence Westbrook had 14 points for the Gophers.
