No. 10 Purdue tops Penn State

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Robbie Hummel scored 23 points to help No. 10 Purdue beat Penn State 66-46 Sunday for its fourth straight win.

Hummel made four 3-pointers and had six rebounds. JaJuan Johnson scored 13 points and E'Twaun Moore added 12 for the Boilermakers (18-3, 6-3 Big Ten), who have returned to early-season form after a three-game losing streak in mid-January.

Talor Battle scored 13 points, David Jackson 11 and Bill Edwards had 10 points and 13 rebounds for Penn State (8-13, 0-9).

It was the ninth straight loss for the Nittany Lions.

No. 14 Tennessee 61, Florida 60

Scotty Hopson came out of a timeout and quickly hit a long jump shot with 21 seconds left to give Tennessee a win over Florida.

The basket gave the Volunteers (16-4, 4-2 Southeastern Conference) their sixth straight win over their East Division rival and fifth straight victory in Knoxville. It also kept Tennessee from dropping a third game in a row.

Alex Tyus, who led the Gators with 18 points, had a chance to grab the lead back for Florida (15-6, 4-3) but missed a jumper in the middle of a crowd under the basket with 5 seconds left.

After playing poorly in the first half, Wayne Chism led the Vols with 16 points and 11 rebounds and hit two key free throws with 42 seconds left.

No. 20 Ohio St. 85, Minnesota 63

William Buford scored a career-high 26 points, and Evan Turner and Jon Diebler each had 19 to lead Ohio State past Minnesota for its fifth win in six games.

The Buckeyes (16-6, 6-3 Big Ten) shot 63 percent against Minnesota (13-8, 4-5), which came in leading the conference by limiting opponents to just 38.6 percent.

Rodney Williams had 13 points to lead the Golden Gophers.
