Goran Suton and Delvon Roe didn't score effectively, combining for seven points, but hammered the backboards with 11 and 10 rebounds, respectively. The Spartans (17-3, 7-1 Big Ten) outrebounded the Hawkeyes 23-9 in a first half that concluded with a 38-25 edge for the visitors. Jeff Peterson registered 14 points and Matt Gatens collected 13 for Iowa (12-9, 2-6), which has now lost five of six contests overall.

Final Score: (12) Clemson 86, Virginia Tech 82

Blacksburg, VA (My Sportsbook) - K.C. Rivers delivered with 29 points, hitting seven three-pointers, and the 12th-ranked Clemson Tigers survived a tenacious Virginia Tech squad and overcame a 15-point second-half deficit to post an 86-82 win at Cassell Coliseum. Rivers was 10-of-17 from the field and 7-of-10 from beyond the arc with six rebounds and four assists in a quality all-around effort. Trevor Booker provided 21 points and 13 rebounds for Clemson (18-2, 4-2 ACC), which fell from its unblemished perch atop the ACC in recent action with back-to-back losses -- albeit to the likes of Wake Forest and North Carolina. The Tigers, though, have responded with consecutive league wins. Malcolm Delaney poured in career-high 37 points on 11- of-17 shooting, including a 6-for-10 effort from three-point range for Virginia Tech (14-6, 4-2), which had won five straight games, including a victory at top-ranked Wake Forest. Jeff Allen had 13 points and nine rebounds while A.D. Vassallo scored 10 in the loss.

Final Score: Minnesota 59, (19) Illinois 36

Minneapolis, MN (My Sportsbook) - Illinois' offensive futility almost reached a historic low Thursday night, as Minnesota received 15 points from Lawrence Westbrook and 10 points and seven rebounds by Ralph Sampson III to rout the 19th-ranked Fighting Illini, 59-36, at Williams Arena. Illinois certainly didn't offensively execute like an upper-echelon conference club, shooting just 29.5 percent from the floor, making 2-of-16 three-pointers and getting to the foul line just seven times (compared to 24 for Minnesota). The Illini (17-4, 5-3 Big Ten) only beat their lowest point total by five points, scoring 31 points during the era of thigh-high shorts on January 6, 1947 against these very same Golden Gophers. Dominique Keller led the Illini with nine points in defeat. The Golden Gophers (18-3, 5-3) weren't much better offensively, but rallied to shoot 48.5 percent in the second half after leading just 22-16 after 20 minutes of play.
