Drew Timme scored 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting in his final college home game to help No. 10 Gonzaga rout Chicago State 104-65 on Wednesday night in nonconference play at Spokane, Wash.

Timme took part in pregame senior activities after saying over the weekend he would not use the extra COVID-19 season available to him. He departed the contest with 9:18 remaining.

Nolan Hickman had 15 points on a career-best five 3-pointers, Rasir Bolton also scored 15 points and Malachi Smith recorded 14 points and nine rebounds for Gonzaga (26-5). Julian Strawther added 11 points, Anton Watson had 10 points, seven assists and four steals and Ben Gregg also scored 10 points as the Bulldogs won their seventh straight game.

Jahsean Corbett recorded 22 points and seven rebounds for Chicago State (11-19), which had a three-game winning streak halted. Wesley Cardet added 16 points and Elijah Weaver had 11 as the Cougars fell to 3-19 on the road.

Timme moved into seventh place on the West Coast Conference’s all-time scoring list with 2,175 points. He passed former Loyola Marymount star Anthony Ireland (2,169 from 2010-14).

Timme needs just 22 points to surpass Frank Burgess (2,196 from 1958-61) as Gonzaga’s all-time leading scorer. Burgess played three seasons for the Bulldogs.

Gonzaga shot 60.7 percent from the field and made 13 of 26 attempts from 3-point range.

The Cougars connected on 43.3 percent of their shots, including 9 of 27 from behind the arc.

Weaver split two free throws 41 seconds into the second half as Chicago State trailed by just 13.

But Bolton scored on a layup 20 seconds later to start an 11-0 burst. Strawther scored the final five points of the run to give the Bulldogs a 53-29 advantage with 17:44 remaining.

Gonzaga pushed the lead over 30 for the first time when Hickman drained a 3-pointer to make it 69-37 with 13:31 remaining.

Hickman also sank a trey to boost the lead to 40 — 83-43 with 9:11 left. The advantage topped out at 44 points.

Bolton was 4 of 5 from 3-point range while scoring 13 points as Gonzaga held a 42-28 halftime lead. Corbett had 13 points in the half for the Cougars.

The Bulldogs used a 20-2 surge to take a 33-13 lead. Bolton capped the run with a 3-pointer with 5:40 left in the first half.

Damion Baugh scored 24 points and dished out nine assists Wednesday night as No. 22 TCU never trailed in a 75-73 win over No. 9 Texas in Fort Worth, Texas.

Emanuel Miller added 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Horned Frogs (20-10, 9-8 Big 12), who built a 16-point lead late in the first half and then held off a Longhorns comeback in the second half.

Texas (22-8, 11-6) closed within 71-68 with 1:01 left after a 3-pointer by Tyrese Hunter, then forced a missed layup by Mike Miles Jr. But TCU’s Chuck O’Bannon Jr. swooped in for the offensive rebound and forced the Longhorns to foul.

Baugh sank two free throws with 19.7 seconds remaining for a five-point lead, then fed Miller for a game-clinching dunk with 4.9 seconds on the clock. The Horned Frogs overcame 22 turnovers by winning the boards 46-28 and holding Texas to 39.1 percent shooting.

Sir’Jabari Rice scored 16 points for the Longhorns, who fell into a tie for second in the conference with Baylor and Kansas State. Hunter added 15, while Marcus Carr and Dylan Disu each contributed 10.

Texas’ loss clinched the conference title outright for Kansas, which leads by two games with just one game left.

Baugh got TCU off to a fast start with eight points in the first 3:57, including a couple of long 3-pointers that led to a 12-5 lead. That set the tone for the game as the Horned Frogs had the answers when needed.

Baugh finished the half with 14 points and six assists, accounting for 12 straight points at one stage via drives for layups or passes to teammates for clean looks. His free throws with 1:33 left in the half capped a 19-6 run that gave TCU a 44-28 advantage.

While Texas got a pair of driving buckets from Rice in the final minute, it still headed for the locker room trailing 44-32. The Horned Frogs canned 62.1 percent of their field goal attempts and nearly tripled the Longhorns on the glass 23-8.

Keyontae Johnson had 16 points, Desi Sills added 15 and Markquis Nowell had 11 points and 10 assists on Wednesday as the trio of Kansas State seniors closed out their home careers with an 85-69 victory over Oklahoma on Senior Night in Manhattan, Kan.

The No. 11 Wildcats finished the season 16-1 at home.

If Kansas State (23-7, 11-6 Big 12) defeats West Virginia in Morgantown and Texas loses at home to Kansas — both games are on Saturday — the Wildcats would claim the No. 2 seed in next week’s Big 12 Championship in Kansas City, Mo.

Nae’Qwan Tomlin led the Wildcats with 19 points.

Oklahoma (14-16, 4-13 Big 12) was led by Milos Uzan with 20 points and Otega Oweh with 18.

The Wildcats shot 70.4 percent (19 of 27) in the second half. They had 22 assists on 32 made field goals in the game.

After closing the first half on a 9-0 run to turn a tie game into a nine-point lead, the Wildcats started the second half on 7-2 and 14-6 spurts to blow it open. When Tomlin threw down a dunk to finish a fastbreak, the Wildcats led 53-33 with 14:48 left. Oklahoma got no closer than 13 until the final three minutes.

Neither team started well on offense. Kansas State missed 10 of its first 11 shots from the field yet still trailed just 9-5 with 14 minutes left because the Sooners couldn’t do much better. Oklahoma was up 5-1 when starting center Tanner Groves picked up his second personal foul at the 17:21 mark. Oweh picked up his second foul just 1:14 later.

Kansas State took its first lead of the game on a 3-pointer by Johnson with 6:16 left in the half.

Johnson had 10 points and David N’Guessan added eight in the first half. Oklahoma was led by Uzan’s eight points.

Even with the late spurt the Wildcats shot just 39.4 percent (13 of 33) in the first half after starting 4-for-20. Oklahoma was just 10-for-31 (32.3 percent).

Washington State is enjoying its hottest stretch of the season and the Cougars look to increase their winning streak to six when they visit Washington in Pac-12 play on Thursday night in Seattle.

Washington State (15-15, 10-9 Pac-12) is tied for sixth place in the conference due to a streak that began with a 56-51 home win over the Huskies on Feb. 11.

Washington (16-14, 8-11) is in eighth place in the 12-team conference after having a three-game winning streak halted with Sunday’s 81-69 road loss to Stanford.

Meanwhile, the Cougars defeated host Cal 63-57 on Saturday as standout big man Mouhamed Gueye recorded 20 points and 10 rebounds for his Pac-12-best 14th double-double of the season.

“Mo was great,” Washington State coach Kyle Smith said of Gueye on the postgame radio show. “He was a beast. Had 20 and 10, three assists and no turnovers. That’s a good game.”

Gueye averages 14.4 points and a team-best 8.6 rebounds per game. He ranks second in scoring behind TJ Bamba (14.9).

Bamba scored 19 points against Cal after scoring 22 two days earlier in a 67-63 win over host Stanford.

Bamba’s scoring average is nearly double the 7.7 per game he put up as a sophomore.

“I can’t wait to see what he does with another offseason,” Smith said. “I think he makes another jump.”

Bamba scored 20 points and Gueye had 17 points and 15 rebounds when the Cougars defeated the Huskies last month in Pullman.

The Huskies have dropped five of the past seven in the Apple Cup rivalry, and this season’s subpar overall showing has sixth-year coach Mike Hopkins on the hot seat.

After compiling a 48-22 record in his first two seasons in Seattle, Hopkins is just 53-67 over the past four.

Hopkins addressed the rumors earlier this week.

“Listen, I love it here,” Hopkins said. “I’ve always loved it here. I love who I work for. I love who I represent. Do I wish the last couple of years that we had better seasons? Did I wish things happened another way? Of course.

“My job is not finished because this is a championship-level caliber program and that’s what I was hired to do. My standards, my expectations. I want to do it for the fans.”

Washington is coming off the shaky performance against Stanford in which it never once led and allowed the Cardinal to make 12 of 24 from 3-point range.

“We knew we had to defend the 3-point line and we didn’t do a good job of that,” Hopkins said.

Jamal Bey had season bests of 21 points and eight rebounds against Stanford. Leading scorer Keion Brooks Jr. (17.7) added 17 points.

Notre Dame saved its best for head coach Mike Brey’s last home game as the Fighting Irish held off a rally to earn an 88-81 Atlantic Coast Conference victory over No. 25 Pittsburgh Wednesday night in South Bend, Ind.

The Fighting Irish (11-19, 3-16 ACC) snapped a seven-game losing streak as graduate students Marcus Hammond and Cormac Ryan led the way with 20 points apiece. Fellow grad students Nate Laszewski (14 points), Trey Wertz (14 points) and Dane Goodwin (12 points) also hit double figures in their final home game.

Pittsburgh (21-9, 14-5) cut a 20-point second-half deficit to five, but missed a chance to clinch a share of its first conference title since the 2010-11 Big East season as the Panthers canned just 20 of 36 free throws and 7 of 22 3-pointers. Nike Sibande, Nelly Cummings and Jamarius Burton scored 19 points apiece while Blake Hinson added 15 points and 13 rebounds in the school’s first game as an AP Top 25 team since Jan. 16, 2016.

Now the ACC regular-season champion will be determined Saturday night when Pittsburgh travels to face No. 16 Miami (23-6, 14-5) — though No. 13 Virginia (22-6, 14-5) will gain a share of the crown with a win Saturday versus Louisville.

Notre Dame was hot virtually from start to finish to enable Brey to earn his 483rd win during his 23 seasons at the helm.

Pittsburgh managed just two brief early leads — at 4-2 and 7-5 — as Ryan jumped to a quick start with nine points in the opening 4:06. Ryan, one of the six graduate students playing his final home game, nailed two 3-pointers and all three free throws when fouled beyond the arc to stake the Irish to a 15-9 lead.

The Panthers regained a 16-15 lead on Sibande’s 3-pointer, but Hammond picked up where Ryan left off. Hammond’s step-back trey with 3:29 left in the first half — his third 3-pointer — triggered an 11-0 run to close out the half that gave Notre Dame a 42-28 lead at the break.

Notre Dame stayed hot at the second half’s outset. When Ryan swiped a Cummings pass and raced down for a two-handed slam, the Fighting Irish seized the game’s biggest lead at 53-36 with 15:48 to play.

The lead stood at 58-41 when Pitt’s frustrations boiled over. Irked by the lack of a foul call on the Panthers’ previous possession, head coach Jeff Capel picked up a technical at the 11:49 mark when Sibande and Hinson were whistled for personals on Notre Dame’s subsequent possession.

Three free throws pushed Notre Dame’s lead to 20. While Pittsburgh started earning more foul calls, the Panthers couldn’t cut their deficit to single digits until Cummings hit a 3-pointer from the wing to make it 80-72 with 1:14 left.

Jordan Wright capped a season-best 23-point outing with a turnaround jumper with 2.6 seconds left to give Vanderbilt a memorable 68-66 victory over No. 23 Kentucky in Southeastern Conference play on Wednesday night at Lexington, Ky.

Tyrin Lawrence recorded 21 points and seven rebounds as the Commodores (17-13, 10-7 SEC) halted a 14-game losing streak against the Wildcats. Vanderbilt also ended a 14-game skid at Rupp Arena by producing its first win in the facility since the 2006-07 campaign.

Overall, the Commodores have won seven of their past eight games.

The Wildcats took their only lead of the second half at 66-64 when Tshiebwe scored in the interior with 1:10 left.

Vanderbilt tied the score on Wright’s basket with 41.2 seconds remaining. The Commodores later had the ball and decided not to call timeout and Wright worked his way just inside the free-throw line to sink the game-winning jumper.

Reeves missed a 3-pointer as time expired.

Vanderbilt notched the upset despite losing standout big man Liam Robbins with 15:51 left in the first half with a right ankle injury.

Kentucky played without Sahvir Wheeler (undisclosed surgery) and lost Cason Wallace (ankle) early in the second half. Wallace had six points in 20 minutes.

Quentin Millora-Brown added 10 points for Vanderbilt, which shot 40.3 percent from the field, including 8 of 24 from 3-point range.

The Wildcats made just 32.2 percent of their shots and were 3 of 19 from behind the arc.

Lawrence drilled a 3-pointer and Millora-Brown converted a three-point play as the Commodores took a 44-35 lead with 16:26 remaining. Lawrence tacked on a layup to increase the lead to 11 with 15:12 left.

Kentucky answered with nine straight points to move within 46-44 with 13:27 remaining.

Later, Wright buried a 3-pointer to give Vanderbilt a 64-58 advantage. Kentucky scored the next eight points to take the lead with 1:10 remaining.

Wright scored 12 first-half points to help Vanderbilt hold a 34-30 lead at the break.

The Wildcats led 28-23 after a basket by Daimion Collins with 3:23 left in the first half before the Commodores closed with an 11-2 spurt.

Vanderbilt scored the final eight points, including a 3-pointer by Millora-Brown as time expired.

Freshman Felix Okpara had 12 points and 12 rebounds for his second career double-double and five other Ohio State players scored in double figures as the Buckeyes upset No. 21 Maryland 73-62 on Wednesday in Columbus, Ohio.

The Buckeyes (13-17, 5-14 Big Ten) won their second straight after a nine-game losing streak and a stretch of 14 losses in 15 games.

Justice Sueing scored 16 points for Ohio State, which went 20 of 20 from the free-throw line.

Brice Sensabaugh had 12 points, Isaac Likekele 11 and Bruce Thornton and Sean McNeil 10 apiece in the win.

Maryland (20-10, 11-8) continued its perplexing season. In Big Ten play, the Terrapins went 10-0 at home but are 1-8 on the road.

Julian Reese had 17 points and 12 rebounds while Donald Carey scored 14 for Maryland. The Terrapins’ leading scorer on the season, Jahmir Young, had nine points, seven below his average, after shooting 4 of 13 from the field.

With the Buckeyes up 60-52 with six minutes to go, Ohio State came out of a timeout and got a second-chance bucket by Sueing followed by an Okpara block that led to a Sensabaugh jumper to make it a 12-point lead.

Two possession later, Sueing canned a 3-pointer to make it 67-52 before Carey reeled off eight straight points, but the Buckeyes closed out the game at the foul line. Ohio State went 6 of 6 at the line in the final 1:10.

Maryland entered the game as one of the hottest teams in the conference, having won eight of 10, including victories against then-No. 21 Indiana, then-No. 3 Purdue and then-No. 21 Northwestern.

Ohio State raced to a 14-4 lead and held off Maryland for a 35-29 halftime lead, paced by seniors McNeil and Likekele in their final home game.

McNeil scored 10 points on 3-for-3 shooting, including 2-for-2 success on 3-point attempts. Likekele, who was averaging 3.8 points, had nine points before the break. He made all four field-goal attempts, and he and McNeil were a combined 3-for-3 on free throws.

The regular season ends this weekend with Ohio State at Michigan State on Saturday before the Terrapins play at Penn State on Sunday.

Adama Sanogo scored 26 points on 11-of-14 shooting as No. 14 UConn blew out DePaul 88-59 on Wednesday night in Hartford, Conn.

Four players scored between 10 and 12 points for UConn (23-7, 12-7 Big East) in the team’s fourth consecutive win.

Tristen Newton led that group with 12 points and added six assists, while Alex Karaban and Andre Jackson Jr. had 11 points apiece and Donovan Clingan contributed 10.

Jackson also logged eight rebounds and nine assists.

The Huskies led 51-19 at halftime after shooting 21 of 37 (56.8 percent) from the field.

Senior Nick Ongenda had a career-high-tying 17 points and six rebounds to lead DePaul (9-21, 3-16), which lost its 11th straight game. Javan Johnson added 10 points.

Sanogo’s layup opened the scoring. After Umoja Gibson tied the score with a foul-line jumper, the Huskies went on a 27-0 run to put the game out of reach within the first 10 minutes.

Jackson hit the first of four Huskies 3-pointers during the spurt. Newton followed with back-to-back treys, with the second coming off a Sanogo offensive rebound.

The UConn lead expanded to double digits as Karaban and Sanogo completed three-point plays.

After Karaban stepped into a 3-pointer to make it 26-2, Ongenda missed two free throws that would have halted the run. Philmon Gebrewhit finally ended DePaul’s scoreless streak at the line before Ongenda hit a layup with 10:08 left before halftime for the Blue Demons’ second field goal.

The Huskies had more success with Sanogo inside as he scored six points during an 11-0 run.

Sanogo dropped in a layup just before the halftime buzzer.

Eral Penn’s three-point play and a Jalen Terry 3-pointer bookended an 8-2 DePaul run with 12:57 to go, but Joey Calcaterra answered back with back-to-back treys to bring the Huskies’ lead back to 30.

Johnson and Terry hit treys as part of two 5-0 DePaul runs in the final seven minutes, but the Blue Demons never got closer than 26 points after halftime.
