Associated Press

OMAHA, Neb. — Joe Ragland scored 24 points, Ben Smith matched his career high with 22 and Wichita State moved a step closer to the Missouri Valley Conference regular-season championship wth an 89-68 victory over No. 17 — and fading — Creighton.

Wichita State (22-4, 13-2) has won 12 of its last 13 games and 20 of 22. The Bluejays (21-5, 11-4) have lost three straight.

The Shockers won with limited help from 7-footer Garrett Stutz, who played only 13 minutes because of foul trouble and finished with eight points. They shot 59 percent from the floor, made eight 3-pointers and hit all 17 of their free throws. Ragland and Smith combined to go 17 for 24 from the floor.

Smith helped neutralize Creighton's Doug McDermott, who had 13 points on 5-of-14 shooting. Gregory Echenique led the Bluejays with 16 points.

PRINCETON 70, NO. 25 HARVARD

PRINCETON, N.J. — Ian Hummer had 20 points and Princeton beat No. 25 Harvard 70-62 on Saturday night, handing the Crimson their first Ivy League loss of the season.

T.J. Bray added 12 points for the Tigers (13-10, 4-3), who defeated the Crimson at home for the 24th straight time. Princeton has not lost to Harvard at Jadwin Gym since 1989.

Keith Wright had 16 points and 12 rebounds for Harvard (21-3, 7-1), which had won nine straight and was attempting to go 8-0 in the Ivy League for the first time.

TENNESSEE 75, NO. 8 FLORIDA 70

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Trae Golden scored 17 points, Jeronne Maymon added 15 points and 11 rebounds, and Tennessee ended Florida's home-winning streak at 19.

Coming off a 20-point loss at top-ranked Kentucky and wearing gray uniforms to commemorate the program's back-to-back national championships in 2006 and 2007, Florida trailed by double digits early and never mustered anything resembling a comeback.

It didn't help that the Gators (19-6, 7-3 Southeastern Conference) played most of the game without their top two reserves, guard Mike Rosario and forward Will Yeguete.

Yeguete suffered a head injury early in the first half when he slammed into the padding at the base of the basket.

Skylar McBee had 13 points for Tennessee (13-12, 5-5), which swept the season series for the first time since 2009.

GEORGIA 70, NO. 20 MISSISSIPPI STATE 68, OT

STARKVILLE, Miss. — Georgia's Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 20 points, including a crucial 3-pointer late in overtime.

Georgia (12-12, 3-7) earned its first Southeastern Conference road win this season and only its second road victory overall. Gerald Robinson Jr. added 13 points, including eight in overtime. Dustin Ware had 11.

Mississippi State (19-6, 6-4) was led by Concord native Dee Bost's 21 points. The senior guard missed a jumper at the buzzer that would have tied it.

Georgia trailed for much of the game, but Robinson hit a driving layup with 27 seconds remaining that sent the game to overtime. Georgia won at Humphrey Coliseum for the first time since 2002.
