(14) MICHIGAN ST 88, GEORGIA TECH 86

 EAST LANSING, Michigan (Ticker) -- Paul Davis and Michigan State used their vast experience to claim another big win for the Big Ten.

Davis scored 19 of his 22 points in the second half as the 14th-ranked Spartans claimed an 88-86 victory over Georgia Tech in a ACC/Big Ten Challenge contest.

With the win, the Big Ten captured its fourth victory in seven games of this annual event. Later Wednesday, No. 16 Indiana will host top-ranked Duke in the Blue Devils' first trip to Assembly Hall.

Holding a 42-32 lead at the break, Michigan State (4-2) weathered an early second-half run by the Yellow Jackets behind Davis, one of four returning starters from last year's Final Four club.

After a jumper by Jervis Smith cut the deficit to 53-49 with 14:41 left, Davis scored 15 of his team's next 19 points over the next seven minutes to push the advantage to 72-63.

Davis, who finished 10-of-12 from the floor with seven rebounds, began the spurt with consecutive follow shots, and later capped it with his second 3-pointer of the game.

Despite its youth, Georgia Tech rallied once again, closing within 86-83 on a 3-pointer by Anthony Morrow with 25 seconds left. After Shannon Brown sank two free throws for the Spartans, Ra'Sean Dickey closed the lead to two points on a shot from the arc.

Hampered by a bandage over his left eye after getting hit by an elbow by Smith, Davis had a chance to seal the win, but missed two free throws with five seconds remaining.

Theodis Tarver rebounded the second miss, and sophomore guard Zam Fredrick raced up the court before his potential game-winning 3-pointer bounced off the back rim.

Brown also scored 22 points and Drew Neitzel 17 with seven assists for the Spartans, who beat the Yellow Jackets in their first meeting since a controversial finish in the 1990 NCAA Tournament.

In that meeting, Georgia Tech guard Kenny Anderson sent the game into OT with a jumper that replays showed came after the buzzer and the Yellow Jackets prevailed in the extra session, 81-80, to advance to the "Elite Eight."

Dickey scored 24 points and Morrow chipped in 23 with seven 3-pointers for Georgia Tech (2-2), which absorbed its second straight loss despite shooting 65 percent (22-of-34) after intermission.

Maryland 83, Minnesota 66

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) -- Travis Garrison had 18 points and 10 rebounds, and No. 23 Maryland overwhelmed injury-riddled Minnesota in the second half en route to an 83-66 victory Wednesday night in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge.

Nik Caner-Medley scored 17 points, and Mike Jones and D.J. Strawberry had 14 apiece for the Terrapins (5-1), who trailed by 15 in the early going and by six at halftime.

Maryland outscored the Golden Gophers 47-24 in a second half that featured the ejection of Minnesota coach Dan Monson.

Dan Coleman led the Gophers (2-2) with 16 points, and Adam Boone and J'son Stamper each scored 13.

Minnesota was without injured guards Vincent Grier, Ryan Saunders and Kevin Payton. In addition, starting guard Maurice Hargrow left after playing just nine minutes.

Maryland opened the second half with a 15-1 run that made it 51-43 and brought about Monson's early exit.

After Strawberry tied it with a layup, the junior guard added a three-point play to give the Terrapins their first lead, 46-43. Strawberry then deflected the inbounds pass to Garrison, who sank a layup.

That caused Monson to storm to midcourt while signaling for a 30-second timeout. He proceeded to pull off his jacket and throw it angrily to the floor, a demonstration that earned him a pair of technical fouls.

Chris McCray made three of the four foul shots after Monson was escorted from the floor.

Minnesota closed to 56-50 before Jones had a dunk and running jumper in an 11-0 spree that gave Maryland a 17-point cushion with 10:45 left.

The Gophers outrebounded Maryland 21-8 and got nine points apiece from Coleman and Spencer Tollackson in taking a 42-36 lead at halftime.

Minnesota went 8-for-13 from the floor in the opening 10 minutes and used a 17-2 run to go up 23-8. Boone capped the run with two straight 3-pointers, including a bank shot from 22 feet as the shot clock expired.

The Terrapins, meanwhile, missed 10 of their first 13 field-goal tries and were outrebounded 12-3.

Jones then scored eight points in a 10-3 spurt that got Maryland to 26-18, and minutes later Caner-Medley hit a 3-pointer and a layup in succession to cut the margin to five.
