Dec 10, 2017 - 7:56 AM BOSTON -- Boston College stunned No. 1 Duke on Saturday.

Duke (11-1) lost for only the third time in 23 all-time games against BC. Both teams were playing their ACC openers.

The Eagles (7-3) were down by four before Robinson hit his two straight treys to give his team the lead for good with 1:16 remaining.

In a series that dates back 83 years, Wichita State won in Stillwater for the first time since 1957 and emerged victorious for only the third time in 18 tries at Gallagher-Iba Arena.

Wichita State (8-1) scored the road win, prevailing in a defensive clash that involved a combined 34 turnovers, including 19 by the Shockers, matching a high during the Gregg Marshall coaching era.

NEWARK, Del. -- Matt Farrell scored 24 points and Notre Dame sailed past Delaware.

Bonzie Colson posted a double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds for the Fighting Irish. T.J. Gibbs added 21 points.

Notre Dame (8-2) bounced back from a stunning loss four nights earlier against Ball State. Saturday's game marked the first time in 17 years that Mike Brey returned to coach the Irish at Delaware, where he was from 1995 to 2000 before leaving to take the job at Notre Dame.

Kevin Anderson had 23 points and seven assists to lead the Blue Hens (4-6), who lost their fourth game in a row.



No. 13 Xavier 96, Colorado 69

CINCINNATI -- Trevon Bluiett scored 25 points and J.P. Macura added 17, lifting the Musketeers to a victory at Cintas Center.

Minnesota's Jordan Murphy had his 11th consecutive double-double to start the season with 20 points and 10 rebounds, but it wasn't enough to hold off an Arkansas team that shot 57.4 percent from the field (39 for 68).



No. 18 West Virginia 69, Pittsburgh 60

PITTSBURGH -- Jevon Carter didn't let early foul trouble curb his playmaking aggression, but his absence for a second-half stretch made West Virginia vulnerable during a win at Pittsburgh.

Rekindling the Backyard Brawl for the first time in six seasons, Carter poured in 17 of his 19 points during the first half when the Mountaineers (9-1) built a 20-point lead.

Most of that was gone when the Panthers (5-5) drew within 61-59 on Marcus Carr's four-point play -- a comeback launched when Carter went to the bench with 13:54 left after picking up his third and fourth fouls on back-to-back possessions.

Daxter Miles Jr. finished with 15 points for West Virginia.



No. 19 Seton Hall 90, Virginia Commonwealth 67

NEWARK, N.J. -- The Pirates (7-1) earned their fourth straight win by dominating Virginia Commonwealth in the first game of the Never Forget Tribute Classic at the Prudential Center.

Justin Tillman led VCU (5-5) with 20 points and seven rebounds.



No. 23 Baylor 105, Randall 82

The game inside Fort Hood's 2,400-seat gym marked the third straight year Baylor has played on the base.



No. 24 Tennessee 81, Lipscomb 71

Grant Williams scored 19 points, falling one point shy of his fourth 20-point outing of the season, and also contributed eight rebounds and three blocked shots to help the Volunteers win at Knoxville, Tenn.

Tennessee (7-1) is nationally ranked for the first time since December 2010 and received a tougher test than expected from a Lipscomb squad that lost by 22 points to Alabama and 23 to Texas earlier this season.

Junior guard Garrison Mathews scored 19 of his 22 points in the second half for Lipscomb (6-4).
