It’s Getting to Be a Habit for Indiana’s Patterson

Once again, Andrae Patterson came through in the clutch for Indiana.

Patterson made a 17-foot jump shot with 19 seconds to play as No. 8 Indiana rallied to beat Notre Dame, 76-75, Monday at South Bend, Ind.

In last week’s Preseason NIT, Patterson hit a shot at the buzzer to beat Evansville and scored a personal-best 39 points in a championship victory over Duke. He had 14 points against Notre Dame.

“Notre Dame played better than we did. We luckily came back at the end when we were down. We should have done it all game,” Indiana Coach Bob Knight said. “Patterson made a couple of plays near the end of the game. But he tried to play too much one-on-one in the first half.”

Neil Reed scored 21 points for the Hoosiers (6-0). Pat Garrity led the Irish (2-1) with 36 points.

No. 7 Michigan 66, Bradley 64--Maurice Taylor scored 19 points and blocked a last-second shot in overtime as the Wolverines held off the Braves at Ann Arbor, Mich.

Bradley (1-1) led, 64-61, but Michigan (3-0) scored the final five points of the game and Taylor blocked a last-second shot by Cameron Rigby.

No. 10 Duke 103, Lehigh 51--Reserves Cris Carrawell and Ricky Price each scored 17 points in the Blue Devils’ romp at Durham, N.C.

Taymon Domzalski scored 16 points and Greg Newton had 15 points and 10 rebounds for Duke (4-1). The Engineers (0-4) had eight freshmen and five sophomores on their traveling roster.

No. 14 North Carolina 106, Bethune-Cookman 62--Reserve Shammond Williams scored 17 points and the Tar Heels made eight consecutive shots during two separate runs at Chapel Hill, N.C.

Ademola Okulaja and Vince Carter also scored 17 points each for North Carolina.

No. 21 Tulsa 79, Delaware St. 50--Shea Seals scored a season-high 27 points and the Golden Hurricane pulled away from the Hornets in the second half at Tulsa, Okla.

Seals had 20 points in the second half for Tulsa (4-1). Terence Hood had 12 points for Delaware State (0-3).

No. 23 Xavier 95, Florida A&M; 64--Gary Lumpkin made five three-point shots in the first half as the Musketeers won at Cincinnati.

Xavier (4-0) tied a school record with 11 three-pointers. Lumpkin scored 15 points, all on three-pointers.
