At Lexington, Ky., Terrence Jones set a Kentucky freshman record with 35 points.

Penn St. 57, No. 16 Illinois 55

At State College, Andrew Jones converted an offensive rebound with 1 second left and Talor Battle scored 26 points to lead the Nittany Lions to their second straight upset of a ranked team.

After a layup by Bill Cole of Illinois tied the game with 20 seconds left, Battle set up for the last shot. His off-balance attempt in the lane bounced off the rim and into the hands of Jones, the 6-foot-10 center who dunked in the go-ahead bucket.

Lucas put Michigan State (11-5, 3-1) up by one with a free throw with 30.2 seconds remaining, and Wisconsin’s Jordan Taylor then missed from near the top of the key.
