No. 1 Duke 78, No. 24 Temple 61
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Kyle Singler broke out of a slump by scoring 28 points to lead No. 1 Duke past No. 24 Temple 78-61 on Wednesday night.
Nolan Smith finished with 15 points and Mason Plumlee added 13 rebounds to help the ACC-leading Blue Devils (26-2) dodge a late-season nonconference letdown and pick up a significant victory in their return to the top spot in the national rankings. Duke used a huge run that bridged the halves to win its eighth straight overall and extend a pair of notable winning streaks at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Lavoy Allen scored 17 points, but Temple (21-6) had its eight-game winning streak snapped.
Singler was 10 of 19 in his most productive game since matching a career high with 30 points against Oregon. He helped Duke win its 35th straight game at Cameron and its 86th in a row against nonconference teams — both NCAA bests.

No. 7 BYU 84, Colorado St. 76
PROVO, Utah — Jimmer Fredette scored 34 points and Brandon Davies added 14 points and 15 rebounds for BYU.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Ben Hansbrough scored a career-high 32 points and Tim Abromaitis had a 28 to help the Fighting Irish overcome a Big East-record 52 points by Marshon Brooks.

No. 12 Wisconsin 53, Michigan 52
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Josh Gasser banked in a desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer to deal a severe blow to the Wolverines’ NCAA tournament hopes.
Michigan (17-12, 7-9 Big Ten) led by two, but Darius Morris missed the front end of a one-and-one with 30.8 seconds remaining. Michigan still had four fouls to give and used them all, the last with only 5.4 seconds left.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Khris Middleton scored 13 points to help Texas A&M win its fifth straight game.
The Aggies were up by four points before a 13-2 run stretched their lead to 51-36 with 6 minutes remaining. Texas A&M (22-5, 9-4 Big 12) took advantage of a strong start to the second half to take a 10-point lead, but allowed Oklahoma to get back in it before the decisive run.

No. 23 St. John’s 76, DePaul 51
NEW YORK — Dwight Hardy continued his scoring streak with 21 points and the Red Storm won their first game as a ranked team in more than 10 years.
The Red Storm (18-9, 10-5 Big East) controlled the game inside, in transition and on the backboards to win for the eighth time in nine games, a streak that got them in The Associated Press Top 25 for the first time since November 2000.
Freshman Cleveland Melvin had 16 points for the Blue Demons (7-20, 1-14).
