Ashlon Jackson and Taina Mair each scored 14 points and Riley Nelson provided 13 points as No. 11 Duke fended off No. 21 North Carolina for a 72-68 home victory Sunday in Durham, N.C., winning its 16th game in a row.
The Blue Devils (19-6, 14-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) went 17-for-21 on free throws, while North Carolina (21-6, 10-4) didn't attempt a free throw as its eight-game winning streak ended. It marked only the third time this century an ACC team didn't attempt a foul shot.
Duke ended the first half on a 13-0 run for a 41-33 lead at the break. The Blue Devils finished with 46 points in the paint in the rivals' first meeting since Duke won last March in the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16.
Ciera Toomey's 14 points, Indya Nivar's 12 points and 10 points apiece from Nyla Harris and Nyla Brooks paced the Tar Heels, who held a 42-34 rebounding advantage. That was Toomey's most points in a game in more than a month.
Georgia 76, No. 5 Vanderbilt 74
Trinity Turner scored the go-ahead basket with less than a minute remaining and Dani Carnegie racked up 29 points for the Bulldogs in the Southeastern Conference upset in Athens, Ga.
After Turner's basket, Carnegie added a free throw for the game's final point. Mia Woolfolk had 19 points on 8-for-10 shooting from the floor and Rylie Theuerkauf added 10 points for Georgia (20-6, 6-6 SEC), which squandered a 14-point lead before recovering.
Mikayla Blakes poured in 27 points and Justine Pissott had 23 points for Vanderbilt (24-3, 10-3), which shot 20 of 22 on free throws but let a five-point lead in the fourth quarter get away.
No. 20 Maryland 76, No. 8 Ohio State 75
Oluchi Okananwa and Yarden Garzon both scored 17 points and the Terrapins came back from a 19-point deficit for the Big Ten Conference victory in Columbus, Ohio.
Addi Mack had 14 points and Saylor Poffenbarger added 13 points and 11 rebounds for Maryland (21-6, 9-6 Big Ten). Okananwa had 10 rebounds as the Terrapins enjoyed a plus-13 advantage on the glass.
Ohio State's Kylee Kitts made one of two free throws with 10 seconds left to pull the Buckeyes within 76-75. Then Maryland's Kyndal Walker missed two foul shots before Jaloni Cambridge missed the potential winning 3-point launch. Cambridge scored 29 points and teammate Chance Gray had 25 points, including five 3-point baskets.
No. 12 Baylor 93, UCF 63
Taliah Scott's 26 points paced the visiting Bears past the Knights in the Big 12 Conference romp in Orlando.

Samari Bankhead's 16 points and Kayanna Cox's 13 led the Knights (10-15, 2-12), who didn't benefit much from Baylor's 17 turnovers.
No. 18 Kentucky 74, No. 14 Ole Miss 57
Clara Strack pumped in 28 points and grabbed nine rebounds as the Wildcats rolled past the Rebels in Lexington, Ky.
Asia Boone added 15 points and Tonie Morgan posted 14 points and nine assists for Kentucky (20-7, 7-6 SEC), which shot 50.9% from the field.
Cotie McMahon's 18 points and Latasha Lattimore's 15 points and 11 boards led Ole Miss (20-6, 7-4), which held a 22-9 scoring edge on free throws but only made 3 of 15 3-pointers.
