Connecticut thumps Morehead St.

Associated Press

Rashad Anderson hit all seven of his 3-pointers and scored a career-high 33 points to lead No. 2 Connecticut to a 129-61 victory over Morehead State on Friday at Storrs, Conn.

Anderson was one of seven players to score in double figures for the Huskies (9-0), who set a Gampel Pavilion record for points.

The 68-point margin matched the Eagles’ worst loss. Michigan State beat them 121-53 in 1992-93.

Morehead State (1-8) gave up the most points in school history and lost its eighth straight.

(16) Maryland 81, American U. 55: Nik Caner-Medley and Chris McCray each scored 17 points and the Terrapins held the Eagles to 17 points in the first half of a victory at College Park, Md.

Ekene Ibekwe had 13 points and 11 rebounds for the Terrapins (8-2), who led by 26 points at halftime after shooting 46 percent, outrebounding the Eagles 27-14 and forcing 12 turnovers.

Andre Ingram and Jordan Nichols each had 11 points for the Eagles (3-7).

(18) Indiana 73, Butler 55: Marco Killingsworth scored 27 points and Robert Vaden added 22 to lead the Hoosiers to victory over the Bulldogs at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Killingsworth’s three-point play with 4:22 left capped a 7-0 run and gave Indiana (7-2) a 56-46 lead.

Brandon Polk, who had 23 points, scored with 7:22 left, but the Bulldogs (6-5) didn’t make another field goal for more than 5 minutes.

(19) Kentucky 73, Iona 67: Rajon Rondo had 13 points and Rekalin Sims broke out of a shooting slump to add 11 as the Wildcats won their annual home game at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Ky.

The Wildcats (8-3) never trailed, although the Gaels (7-1) played them far tougher than No. 11 Louisville – the arena’s usual tenant – did in getting blown out last Saturday in Lexington, Ky.

Sims was 5 of 8 from the field after being limited to five points over his previous three games.

Kentucky is 116-31 all-time in Louisville, including victories in its last 16 games there against teams other than the Cardinals.

Steve Burtt had 23 points for Iona.

(24) Ohio St. 74, Tennessee St. 65: Je’Kel Foster and Terence Dials each had 19 points as the Buckeyes defeated the Tigers at Columbus, Ohio.

Jamar Butler added 10 points and seven assists for the Buckeyes.

Wayne Arnold was 7 of 8 from 3-point range and scored 23 points for the Tigers (2-4).

The Buckeyes, 8-0 for the first time in 15 years, trailed 55-52 with 10:43 left after Tennessee State’s Kareem Grant scored inside off an assist from Bruce Price. But the Tigers didn’t score again for the next 7 1/2 minutes.
