TOP 25 COLLEGE BASKETBALL No. 6 Badgers keep up hot pace Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Mar. 8, 2015 at 7:43 PM By The Associated Press Posted Mar. 8, 2015 at 7:43 PM » Social News COLUMBUS, Ohio — Frank Kaminsky scored 20 points and Bronson Koenig touched off a 16-0 second-half run with two 3-pointers to lead No. 6 Wisconsin to a 72-48 victory over No. 23 Ohio State on Sunday. The Badgers (28-3, 16-2) had already clinched the Big Ten regular-season title and top seed in the conference tournament. They tied a school record for league wins while extending the best start in team history. Koenig had 15 points and Nigel Hayes scored 10 for Wisconsin, winners of three in a row and 13 of 14. D'Angelo Russell had 17 points for the Buckeyes (22-9, 11-7), who had their three-game winning streak snapped. The home loss was coach Thad Matta's first in March at Ohio State after going 13-0. No. 10 MARYLAND 64, NEBRASKA 61 : At Lincoln, Neb., Melo Trimble scored 21 points and Dez Wells made a big shot with 8.8 seconds left to help Maryland hold off Nebraska. Wells had 18 points and 12 rebounds, and Jake Layman added 11 points as the Terrapins (26-5, 14-4 Big Ten) won their seventh consecutive game. Shavon Shields had 26 points for the Cornhuskers (13-17, 5-13), who lost their eighth straight. Shields' three-point play with 43 seconds left pulled the Huskers to 62-61. The Terps called timeout with 11 seconds left and 4 on the shot clock. Wells took the inbounds pass and hit his 18-footer from the wing. Shields missed his last-second try from 3-point range. No. 11 NORTHERN IOWA 69, ILLINOIS ST. 60 : At St. Louis, Seth Tuttle had 15 points, nine rebounds and three assists, leading Northern Iowa back from an 18-point, first-half deficit in the Missouri Valley Conference championship game. Nate Buss scored 15 points and the Panthers (30-3) took control with a 25-4 run that erased a 36-22 halftime deficit. Jeremy Morgan had three 3-pointers in the run and Tuttle, the Valley player of the year and tournament MVP, added eight points. Daishon Knight had 16 points for fourth-seeded Illinois State (21-12), which needed a win to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1998. Knight had 25 points in the Redbirds' semifinal upset of top seed Wichita State. Northern Iowa won the title for the third time in seven years and has won 19 of 20 games. No. 22 SMU 67, TULSA 62 : At Dallas, Markus Kennedy scored 12 of his 16 points in the second half and SMU won its first league title in 22 years, the American Athletic Conference regular-season championship. The victory gave Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown and the Mustangs (24-6, 15-3) another item for their NCAA Tournament resume a year after getting snubbed and reaching the NIT championship game. SMU is looking for its first NCAA berth since winning the old Southwest Conference in 1993. James Woodard scored all of his career-high 30 points on 3-pointers for the Golden Hurricane (21-9, 14-4), who settled for second place after starting 10-0 in the conference under first-year coach Frank Haith.
