BLACKSBURG, Va. — Kyle Singler scored 10 of his 16 points during an 18-9 second-half run that gave No. 4 Duke some breathing room in an 81-64 victory over Virginia Tech on Thursday night.
The Blue Devils (16-1, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) won their sixth straight game.
Virginia Tech played without second-leading scorer and leading rebounder Jeff Allen, who is serving a two-game suspension for making contact with a referee at Georgia Tech on Saturday.
No. 10 Michigan St. 78, Northwestern 62: At Evanston, Ill., Raymar Morgan scored 23 points and Drew Neitzel added 20 for Michigan State in one of its best shooting performances of the season. The Spartans (17-2, 5-1 Big Ten) were a season-best 11-of-18 from 3-point range and were 29-for-48 from the field overall in winning for the 14th time in 15 games. No. 15 Butler 63, Loyola of Chicago 50: At Indianapolis, reserve forward Pete Campbell scored 15 points to lead Butler. No. 23 Xavier 69, No. 16 Dayton 43: At Cincinnati, Stanley Burrell scored 13 points. The Musketeers (16-4, 4-1) pushed the lead to double digits in the opening minutes and were never threatened in their most lopsided victory over Dayton in nine years.
