Cincinnati, OH (My Sportsbook) - Derrick Brown didn't miss a shot en route to a game-high 20 points, as the 16th-ranked Xavier Musketeers had little trouble disposing of Saint Louis, 70-44, in the Atlantic 10 opener for both programs. Brown nailed 6-for-6 from the floor while hitting all three of his tries from three-point range. He also made all five of his free throw attempts for Xavier (12-2, 1-0 A-10), which has rattled off three straight wins after back-to-back losses to Duke and Butler. C.J. Anderson and Jason Love each pulled down six rebounds to go with 13 and 11 points, respectively, in the victory. Rick Majerus' Billikens (9-6, 0-1) shot a woeful 30.8 percent from the floor in being dominated by their conference foe. Kevin Lisch was the high scorer for Saint Louis with nine points on 4-of-13 shooting from the field, as the team fell to 0-4 in true road tests this season.

Final Score: (20) Arizona State 69, Oregon State 38

Tempe, AZ (My Sportsbook) - James Harden was nearly flawless, missing just one shot as part of a 22-point, seven-assist night, as No. 20 Arizona State rolled over Oregon State, 69-38. Rihards Kuksiks added 13 points for the Sun Devils (13-2, 2-1 Pac-10), who made 16-of-18 second-half field goals and shot 65.1 percent for the game. Lathen Wallace paced Oregon State (6-7, 1-2) with 13 points and no other player had more than five. The Beavers made just 6-of-21 field goals in the first half and were doubled up at the half, 30-15. Oregon State's 38-point total was the lowest Arizona State has allowed to a conference opponent during 31 years as a Pac-10 representative.

Final Score: (21) Butler 64, Wright State 48

Indianapolis, IN (My Sportsbook) - Matt Howard paced the Bulldogs with 14 points behind 8-of-9 shooting from the free throw line, and No. 21 Butler rolled to a 64-48 win over Horizon League foe Wright State.

Final Score: (22) Minnesota 52, Iowa 49

Iowa City, IA (My Sportsbook) - Lawrence Westbrook and Travis Busch each scored 10 points and helped trigger a second-half rally, as No. 22 Minnesota slipped past Iowa, 52-49, in a conference clash at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The Golden Gophers (14-1, 2-1 Big Ten), shot just 33.9 percent from the floor and made only 5-of-22 three-pointers. The game of futility was a race to 50, won by Minnesota, which held the Hawkeyes to 38.1 percent shooting and grabbed 18 of its own misses to help offset the poor shooting night. Jeff Peterson led all scorers with 16 points and Matt Gatens added 11 for the Hawkeyes (11-5, 1-2), who lost for the first time at home this season in 10 games.
