Trayce Jackson-Davis missed just one shot on his way to 21 points in a light workout for No. 13 Indiana, which breezed past Bethune-Cookman 101-49 on Thursday night in Bloomington, Ind.

Jackson-Davis went 9 of 10 from the field and was aided by wingman Miller Kopp, who made 4 of 6 from 3-point range to add 12 points for Indiana (2-0). Twelve players scored for the Hoosiers. Jalen Hood-Schifino kicked in eight points, eight assists and five rebounds for Indiana.

Pace favored the thoroughbred Hoosiers from the opening tip, and Indiana ended with 27 assists on 35 field goals.

Bethune-Cookman (0-2) was paced by Joe French with 11 points and Marcus Garrett with 10.

No. 5 Kansas 82, North Dakota State 59

Jalen Wilson scored 11 points in the first eight minutes of the game as the Jayhawks demolished the Bison in Lawrence, Kan.

Wilson finished the first half with 17 points and led the Jayhawks with 21 points for the game, though he sat out much of the second half. The Jayhawks (2-0) were again without coach Bill Self, who served the second game of a four-game suspension imposed by the university.

North Dakota State (0-2) got 11 points from Grant Nelson and 10 from Boden Skunberg.

No. 9 Creighton 96, North Dakota 61

Tsotne Tsartsidze sank 4 of 5 shots from 3-point range and led North Dakota (1-1) with 16 points.

No. 12 Texas 82, Houston Christian 31

Marcus Carr and Sir’Jabari Rice scored 11 apiece to lead six Texas players in double figures as the Longhorns swamped the Huskies in Austin, Texas.

Texas (2-0) was up by 27 points at the half and then really turned it on, leading by as many 59 points late in the game despite going just 3 of 22 from beyond the arc for the game.

Tristan Moore led Houston Christian (0-2) with eight points. The Huskies shot only 21.7 percent from the floor.

No. 25 Texas Tech 78, Texas Southern 54

Kevin Obanor and Jaylon Tyson scored 13 points apiece to help the Red Raiders earn an easy victory over the Tigers in Lubbock, Texas.

Drew Peterson scored 21 points, Boogie Ellis added 15 points and a career-high seven steals, and USC rebounded from an opening-night loss by blowing out visiting Alabama State 96-58 on Thursday in Los Angeles.

One game removed from struggling to score 61 points in a loss to Florida Gulf Coast, the Trojans (1-1) had no such issues on Thursday.

Peterson set the tone in the Trojans’ 48-point first half, shooting 3-of-3 from the floor and dishing out five assists. Peterson finished with six assists to match teammate Kobe Johnson for a game high.

Ellis also passed out four assists to contribute to USC posting its highest point total since scoring 98 against Utah Tech last Nov. 22. Thursday’s 38-point margin of victory was USC’s highest since a 40-point rout of Cal State Northridge to open 2021-22.

Five Trojans scored in double-figures: Josh Morgan finished with 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting from the floor, and Reese Dixon-Waters added 13 points, aided by 3-of-4 shooting from 3-point range.

USC went 11-of-23 from deep as a team, with Peterson going 3 of 5.

Malik Thomas came off the bench to score 10 points, rounding out USC’s double-figure scorers. Tre White chipped in eight points and grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds in reserve duty.

Alabama State (0-2) won the battle of points off the bench, however, outscoring the Trojans 35-29. Duane Posey led the Hornets with 12 points, while fellow reserve Christian McCray added 10 points on 5-of-6 from the floor.

It was an otherwise dismal offensive night for Alabama State, which shot just 22-of-66 from the field — including 5-of-20 from 3-point range, 2-of-10 in the second half — and committed 20 turnovers.

The USC lead expanded to as many as 46 points late in the second half.

Washington aims to post a second consecutive victory when it entertains North Florida on Friday night in Seattle.

The Huskies (1-0) eventually separated from Weber State to notch a 69-52 victory in Monday’s opener.

North Florida (0-1) is in the state of Washington for a second consecutive game. The Ospreys were pounded 104-63 by No. 2 Gonzaga in Spokane on Monday.

Kentucky transfer Keion Brooks Jr. delivered 20 points and seven rebounds in his Washington debut against Weber State. He scored 20 points four times in 80 games with John Calipari’s Wildcats.

The Huskies were solid on the boards with a 35-24 rebounding advantage and 18-1 edge in second-chance points.

PJ Fuller II was the only other Washington player in double figures with 10 points, but freshman Keyon Menifield also impressed with eight points in 13 minutes. Menifield was 3 of 4 shooting and made both 3-pointers he attempted.

“Keyon Menifield is a guy from Flint, Michigan, who knows how to score,” Huskies coach Mike Hopkins said. “He does it at an elite level. He’s been a nice surprise.”

North Florida led Gonzaga 10-8 three minutes into the contest before the Bulldogs delivered the knockout punch.

Gonzaga rolled off 26 points as the Ospreys went eight minutes, 38 seconds without scoring. North Florida missed 11 straight shots during the funk.

“You can’t let someone go on a 26-0 run,” Ospreys coach Matthew Driscoll said. “We had too many turnovers that led to easy baskets.”

Carter Hendricksen had 16 points and eight rebounds for North Florida. He also became the eighth player in school history to make 200 career 3-pointers. His total sits at 201.

Hendricksen had made more than 40 3-pointers in each of the previous three campaigns, including a career-high 84 during the 2019-20 season.

Jadyn Parker scored 13 points and Jose Placer added 12 against Gonzaga. The Ospreys committed 22 turnovers and were outrebounded 41-30.

This is the first meeting between the two programs.

With multiple players sidelined for DePaul’s season opener against Loyola Maryland on Monday, Blue Demons forward Javan Johnson might have been more motivated to contribute.

After scoring a career-best 24 points to go with 10 rebounds, however, the graduate transfer credited the teammates with whom he shared the floor rather than dwell on the ones unable to play.

“I feel I kind of scored just within the flow of the game,” Johnson said. “I wasn’t really forcing too much.”

DePaul (1-0) will look to maintain that “in the moment” mindset Friday night when it hosts Western Illinois at Wintrust Arena in Chicago — whether returning starters Nick Ongenda (hand) and Philmon Gebrewhit (internal issue) are present or not.

Johnson, who played in just 10 games while at Iowa State last season due to injury, set the example against the Greyhounds from the outset.

“Javon played extremely well,” Blue Demons coach Tony Stubblefield said. “He’s a young man that’s worked hard. I really thought he was coming into his own last year when he had the injury. Obviously, he’s bounced back from that injury. He’s worked extremely hard. Had a really good summer. Has had a good fall and preseason for us. And just his versatility to play multiple positions, to guard multiple positions, he’s a good player.”

After edging Illinois State 71-68 on Monday and thumping Rockford 113-56 on Wednesday, Western Illinois (2-0) is eager to see the schedule stiffen with visits to DePaul and Central Florida in the next four days.

“We have back-to-back high major teams on the road,” Leathernecks coach Rob Jeter said. “That’s something that’s going to test us, something we need.”

Western Illinois shot a scorching 42-for-67 (62.7 percent) against Rockford, including a 15-for-29 effort from beyond the arc.

Trenton Massner has excelled to start the season, recording a triple-double against Illinois State before contributing 19 points, eight assists and four boards against Rockford. He swished three successive 3-pointers during one second-half sequence.

“He’s sharing the basketball and having fun,” Jeter said.

DePaul edged Western Illinois 84-80 in Chicago last November.

Both the Oregon State Beavers and Florida A&M Rattlers are trying to break in rosters that include nine new players this season.

That process will continue when the teams meet Friday night in Corvallis, Ore.

It’s gone better so far for Oregon State (1-0), which secured a 73-70 comeback victory against visiting Tulsa on Monday to improve to 9-0 in season openers under coach Wayne Tinkle.

The Beavers trailed by 19 late in the first half before opening the second half on a 14-0 run.

True freshman point guard Jordan Pope scored 12 of his team-high 19 points in the second half. Pope made two of Oregon State’s four 3-pointers in the opening five minutes of the second half.

The Beavers are aiming for a major turnaround following a dismal 3-28 season that ended with 18 consecutive defeats.

“Our guys responded in the second half to doing it our way,” Tinkle said. “This is a resilient group. We knew they had it in them, and we just had to get them to that place.”

Florida A&M’s inexperience has shown in road losses to No. 21 Oregon on Monday and Portland on Wednesday. The Rattlers (0-2) committed 21 turnovers in the 80-45 loss to the Ducks.

The Rattlers will play eight road games this season against Power 5 conference opponents, which should help the roster in the long term.

“This was the first Division I game for some of them,” coach Robert McCullum said. “Right now, they’re having to figure out the best way we need to play.”

Jordan Chatman and Jordan Tillmon led the Rattlers with eight points each against Oregon, but as a team, the Rattlers only made 3 of 18 attempts from 3-point range.

Against Portland, Tillmon led the way with 16 points and Byron Smith added 14 points, but the Rattlers were down 42-21 by halftime.

McCullum served as an assistant coach at Oregon from 2014-17 before leaving to become the head coach at Florida A&M, where he has a 54-90 record.

Cormac Ryan’s layup with nine seconds left boosted Notre Dame to a 79-76 victory over visiting Radford in the Fighting Irish’s season opener Thursday night.

Ryan scored in transition to give Notre Dame a 77-76 lead as the Irish took advantage of a five-on-four situation with Radford’s DaQuan Smith lying injured out of bounds after an unsuccessful drive to the basket.

The Highlanders had a chance to erase their one-point deficit, but senior Josiah Jeffers missed a 6-foot runner from the baseline with two seconds left.

Graduate student Nate Laszewski, who grabbed a defensive rebound and sank two clinching free throws with four-tenths of a second left, paced Notre Dame with 28 points and 12 rebounds.

Trey Wertz added 18 points and Ryan finished with 10 points for the shorthanded Irish, who used just six players. Mike Brey boosted his record to 23-0 in Notre Dame home openers.

Freshman guard Kenyon Giles came off the bench to score 20 points for Radford (0-2), which led by as many as nine in the second half. Smith added 18 points.

Notre Dame established Laszewski early. He scored the team’s first nine points with a mix of 3-pointers, layups and free throws. But Radford scored on four of its first five possessions to prompt Notre Dame to ditch its man-to-man defense in favor of a zone.

Notre Dame clung to a 40-39 halftime lead, then missed eight of its first nine shots in the second half to help Radford build a 51-42 lead on Giles’ pullup jumper in transition with 13:22 to go.

Notre Dame’s comeback began with 9:36 left when Radford big man Shaquan Jules hit Laszewski in the face with a right elbow while making a move in the post. The officials ruled it to be a flagrant 1 foul, and Laszewski hit both free throws to cut Notre Dame’s deficit to 57-52. Ryan added two free throws on the ensuing possession.

The Irish finally regained a 72-71 lead on Dane Goodwin’s pair of free throws with 3:21 left, but Jeffers replied with consecutive driving layups to set up the riveting conclusion.
