COLLEGE BASKETBALL: NATIONAL ROUNDUP : No. 5 Michigan State Is Upset by Nebraska, 71-69

Senior guard Beau Reid made a three-point basket with two seconds remaining Wednesday night as Nebraska upset No. 5 Michigan State, 71-69, at Lincoln, Neb.

Reid, who scored only eight points, thought his 23-foot game-winning shot was short when he launched it.

“There was no doubt in my mind what I wanted to do when I got it,” he said. “I knew it was a long way out.”

Reid’s basket came after the Matt Steigenga’s dunk gave the Spartans (1-2) a 69-68 lead with 13 seconds remaining.

Michigan State made only seven of 19 shots from the free-throw line.

Steve Smith led the Spartans with 27 points. Rich King had 13 points for Nebraska (3-1).

No. 10 Indiana 70, Notre Dame 67--Pat Graham made four free throws in the final 18 seconds as the Hoosiers held off the Irish at South Bend, Ind.

A three-point shot by Notre Dame’s Elmer Bennett, who scored 18 points, rolled off the rim at the buzzer.

Indiana (3-1) trailed, 45-33, with 14:16 remaining, but a 14-4 spurt put the Hoosiers back in the game.

Daimon Sweet led Notre Dame (2-3) with 19 points.

No. 11 Ohio State 116, Delaware State 67--Jim Jackson scored a career-high 29 points and Mark Baker added 19 as the Buckeyes rolled to an easy victory at Columbus, Ohio.

The 116 points are the most ever scored by an Ohio State team.

Perry Carter added 15 points for the Buckeyes (2-0).

No. 13 Pittsburgh 82, Siena 80--Jason Matthews scored four points and Sean Miller added two free throws in the last 79 seconds as the Panthers held on for the victory at Albany, N.Y.

Pittsburgh (3-0) trailed, 77-76, when Matthews made a three-point shot from the corner. Miller then added his free throws to secure the victory.

No. 17 Georgia 124, Western Kentucky 65--Jody Patton scored 21 points and Litterial Green had 20 as the Bulldogs (3-0) extended their home-court winning streak to 14 games.
