There must have been a lot of interesting give-and-take when the Big Ten football coaches met at the conference offices on Friday. New Ohio State coach Urban Meyer faced off with at least a couple of coaches who have been reported saying they question his poaching of recruits who had already committed to other programs.

Through it all, Jim Tressel never lost his charm. As he worked the room the way he did for a decade as Ohio State's coach, delighting students and faculty members, school trustees and Akron's president with stories of past successes and plans for the future, Tressel felt like he had come back home.

Connecticut did just fine without ailing coach Jim Calhoun. Ryan Boatright scored 19 points, Jeremy Lamb had 17 and the Huskies beat Seton Hall 69-46 on Saturday in their first game since the school announced Calhoun was taking an indefinite leave of absence. Lamb added eight rebounds and Boatright had five assists and four steals for the Huskies (15-7, 5-5 Big East), who stopped a four-game slide.

Jared Sullinger wore out Wisconsin. Then William Buford put the Badgers away. No. 3 Ohio State wasn't going to give No. 19 Wisconsin a shot at another comeback. Sullinger scored 24 points and Buford hit a critical 3-pointer down the stretch, helping the Buckeyes beat the Badgers 58-52 on Saturday. Sullinger was shocked when he wasn't double-teamed on defense to start the game, and he pounced...

Notre Dame coach Mike Brey thought his team took big strides in its development Saturday. Freshman Pat Connaughton had 23 points and 11 rebounds as Notre Dame made 11 3-pointers and beat No. 15 Marquette 76-59. "I told them in one of the last media timeouts, `I feel like I'm coaching men today,"' Brey said.

Leonard Washington and Francisco Cruz scored 16 points apiece and Wyoming throttled No. 11 UNLV's high-scoring offense in a 68-66 victory Saturday. Luke Martinez added 15 points -- all on 3-pointers -- and Adam Waddell scored 14 for Wyoming (18-5, 4-3 Mountain West). The win snapped a four-game losing streak against UNLV (21-4, 5-2) and was Wyoming's first victory against a top 25 team since...

Anthony James buried a 3 at the buzzer as Northern Iowa upset No. 13 Creighton 65-62 on Saturday, snapping the Bluejays' 11-game winning streak. James scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half and Seth Tuttle added 13 points for the Panthers, who handed visiting Creighton its first loss since late December.

Florida appears to have these short turnarounds figured out. Of course, it helps when the Gators are making 3-pointers and forcing turnovers. Kenny Boynton scored 18 points, Bradley Beal added 16 and No. 12 Florida beat No. 25 Vanderbilt 73-65 Saturday for its seventh consecutive victory. The Gators (19-4, 7-1 Southeastern Conference) won for the second time in about 36 hours, improving to 5-0 on...

Okaro White says he doesn't mind being Florida State's sixth man. Florida State's rail-thin 6-foot-8 sophomore came off the bench Saturday, scored 13 points and helped slow down Virginia star Mike Scott to spark the 21st-ranked Seminoles to a 58-55 victory. "I really try to pinpoint what's going on in the game," White said about watching from the bench in the first few...

Harrison Barnes limped up and down the court on a sprained ankle, and starters Tyler Zeller and Kendall Marshall were on the bench with four fouls apiece. Throw in the fact that the sellout crowd at Maryland was making it difficult to concentrate, and it's safe to say the conditions weren't exactly ideal for No.

Quincy Acy kept working, even when a 95 percent foul shooter went to the line late in the game. Acy had 11 points and a season-best 12 rebounds, providing the go-ahead basket and a key offensive rebound down the stretch in No. 6 Baylor's 64-60 win against Oklahoma State on Saturday. Perry Jones III added 16 points and 11 rebounds and Pierre Jackson also scored 16 as the Bears (20-2, 8-2 Big 12)...

Joslyn Tinkle and Stanford have won 17 straight games since their only loss of the season. This balanced blowout was one of the easy ones. Tinkle had a career-high 22 points and matched her career best with 11 rebounds, and the Cardinal had five starters score in double figures in a 91-51 victory over Arizona on Saturday.

Brittany Boyd had 19 points, a conference season-high 10 steals, six assists and six rebounds as California rallied from a lengthy scoring drought to beat Arizona State 67-62 on Saturday. The Golden Bears (17-6, 8-3 Pac-12) overcame a stretch of 6:06 during which they missed 10 straight shots to keep sole possession of second place, three games behind No.
