Top 25 capsules: Miles Bridges sprains ankle in No. 2 MSU’s win over Stony Brook

Miles Bridges scored 20 points before limping off the court with a sprained left ankle, casting a pall over No. 2 Michigan State as it beat Stony Brook 93-71 on Sunday night in East Lansing, Michigan.

The Spartans (2-1) bounced back from their loss to top-ranked Duke with a win that will be remembered as being costly if Bridges’ injury lingers. Coach Tom Izzo said after the game that Bridges is day to day.

He was fouled with 8:32 left in the game and landed awkwardly on his left foot, rolling his ankle. After trying to stay in the game to shoot free throws, the preseason All-America player went back to the bench briefly before walking toward the locker room.

Nick Ward scored a season-high 22 points, Joshua Langford had a career-high 19 points and Cassius Winston scored a season-high 13 points and had six assists for the Spartans.

The Seawolves (0-4) led for much of the first half, holding Bridges to two points as they led 22-15 midway through the first half.

Stony Brook’s Elijah Olaniyi scored 16, Akwasi Yeboah had 15 points, UC Iroegbu scored 12 and Tyrell Sturdivant added 10 points.

(8) Florida 70, New Hampshire 63: Jalen Hudson scored 26 points, including a dunk midway through the second half that put the Gators (3-0) ahead for good in their victory over the Wildcats (1-2) in Gainsville, Florida.

The Gators had been averaging a nation-leading 112 points per game in their first two wins. But they shot just 32 percent, and New Hampshire took advantage.

A desperation 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer lifted the Wildcats into a 32-32 tie, and they continued their upset bid after the break.

A fall-back 3 by John Ogwuche gave New Hampshire the lead with under 10 minutes left. Hudson came back with a dunk, and later scored nine straight points to keep Florida in front.

Tanner Leissner finished with 23 points for the Wildcats.

(10) Southern California 93, Vanderbilt 89 (OT): Jordan McLaughlin scored a career-high 35 points, and the Trojans (3-0) rallied from a 10-point deficit midway through the second half to beat the Commodores (2-2) in overtime in Nashville, Tennessee.

McLaughlin forced overtime by hitting his fifth 3-pointer of the game with 25.8 seconds left in regulation. He then scored the first five points of OT as the Trojans escaped with a victory in their first road game this season.

USC first rallied from a 14-point deficit to lead 35-34 at halftime, and the Trojans trailed 62-52 with 9:36 left. Bennie Boatwright started an 8-0 run with a 3-pointer, followed by a three-point play by McLaughlin to set up a thrilling finish and comeback.

Chimezie Metu added 23 points for the Trojans in the program’s first visit to Memorial Gym since Dec. 5, 1975. Boatwright finished with 14 before fouling out late in regulation.

Vanderbilt had a chance to win in regulation, but Riley LaChance’s short jumper missed just before the buzzer.

(14) Minnesota 92, Western Carolina 64: Jordan Murphy had 23 points and 11 rebounds, and the Gophers (4-0) cruised past the Catamounts (1-3) in Minneapolis.

Five Gophers scored in double figures, and coach Richard Pitino leaned heavily on his bench as Minnesota played the first of a four-game stretch this week. Amir Coffey had 15 points, Dupree McBrayer scored 14, Nate Mason had 13 and Isaiah Washington scored 10.

Freshman Matt Halvorsen hit 5 of 7 3-pointers and led the Catamounts with 17 points. Deriece Parks added 11 points.

Murphy posted his fourth straight double-double to start the season, and he carried Minnesota offensively for much of the second half as Mason and center Reggie Lynch were limited by foul trouble. Murphy had 15 points and 9 rebounds after the break as the Gophers pulled away after leading 42-33 at halftime.

Mason picked up his fourth foul early in the second half with the Gophers protecting a five-point lead. Pitino turned the offense over to Washington, and the prized recruit from New York kept things running smoothly. He scored six points and didn’t turn the ball over, and by the time he came out with just over 8 minutes to play, the Gophers led by 20.

Texas Tech 85, (20) Northwestern 49: Keenan Evans scored 25 points to lead the Red Raiders (4-0) over the Wildcats (3-2) in the championship game of the Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament in Uncasville, Connecticut.

The senior guard scored 54 points in two games over the weekend. Zach Smith added 11 points, while Tommy Hamilton IV and Niem Stevenson each had 10 for Texas Tech.

Scottie Lindsay led the Wildcats with 20 points. It was the most-lopsided loss in head coach Chris Collins’ five years at Northwestern, surpassing an 89-57 road defeat to then-No. 25 Indiana on Jan. 23, 2016.

Northwestern never led in the game. Texas Tech shot 76.5 percent in the second half, and 60.4 percent for the game.

Evans scored 17 points and the Red Raiders dominated the opening half to lead 41-25. Texas Tech raced out to a 9-0 lead, with two 3-pointers from Evans.

For much of the half, Northwestern had more turnovers (15) than points. Lindsey was the lone threat on offense with 17 points, but the rest of the team was 2-for-12 from the field.

(21) Saint Mary’s 79, San Jose State 61: Jock Landale had 22 points and nine rebounds, Emmett Naar matched his career high with 12 assists and the Gaels (4-0) beat the Spartans (1-3) in San Jose, California.

Calvin Hermanson added 14 points while Tanner Krebs also had a career-high 14 with four 3-pointers, all of them in the first half, as Saint Mary’s picked up its seventh consecutive win over the Spartans.

Saint Mary’s led by 10 at halftime and then pulled away in the second half behind Landale and Naar, who was mostly a facilitator before scoring six straight points to put the Gaels up 71-53.

San Jose State (1-3) cut the gap to 73-61 with 4:21 remaining, but Cullen Neal made a 3-pointer and a free throw and Jordan Ford added a short jumper to maintain the Gaels’ cushion.

Ryan Welage scored 20 points and Keith Fisher III added 14 for the Spartans. San Jose State has lost three straight.
