College basketball: Minnesota upends No. 15 Purdue; No. 18 Arizona routs Stanford

Nate Mason scored 31 points and Eric Curry scored seven of his 10 in overtime as visiting Minnesota upset No. 15 Purdue, 91-82, on Sunday.

The Big 10 teams traded baskets to begin the extra period before a Curry basket began an 11-0 run that helped snap the Boilermakers’ seven-game winning streak.

Purdue’s P.J. Thompson, who spent most the game trying to guard Mason, praised Minnesota’s leading scorer, who came in averaging 13.5 points.

“He’s a good player,” Thompson said. “He came out ready to play and had his team ready to play.”

The Golden Gophers (13-2, 1-1) allowed Caleb Swanigan to score 28 points and grab 22 rebounds, but it wasn’t enough to save the Boilermakers (12-3, 1-1).

No. 18 Arizona 91, Stanford 52: Rawle Alkins scored 19 points, Dusan Ristic added 18 and Lauri Markannen 15 to help Arizona beat Stanford to complete a weekend road sweep to open Pac-12 Conference play.

Chance Comanche added 13 points and 10 rebounds for the Wildcats (13-2, 2-0), who have beaten the Cardinal in 14 straight games. Ristic, Markannen and Comanche combined to make 16 of their 20 shots.

Stanford (8-6, 0-2) struggled to get clean shots much of the game and wound up shooting 34 percent, including 22 percent in the second half. Reid Travis led the Cardinal with 11 points — seven under his season average — before fouling out.

at No. 13 Butler 78, Providence 61: Kelan Martin had 15 points and eight rebounds, and Andrew Chrabascz and Avery Woodson each had 11 points for the Bulldogs.

Butler didn’t look anything but sharp, shooting 62% from the floor (26 of 42). Kethan Savage added 10 points for Butler (12-2, 1-1 Big East) and the Bulldogs’ backups outscored the Friars’ reserves, 29-5. Thirteen of the Bulldogs’ 26 field goals were scored off of an assist.

Kyron Cartwright scored 26 points and Rodney Bullock added 17 for Providence (10-5, 0-2). The Friars scored the game’s first basket and led, 2-0, for a total of 39 seconds. Providence wouldn’t lead for the rest of the game.

at No. 23 Cincinnati 92, Tulane 56: Jarron Cumberland scored 19 points as the Bearcats handed the Green Wave their most lopsided loss of the season.

Cincinnati (12-2, 2-0 American) set the tone early, vaulting ahead on a 14-0 run behind eight Cumberland points and capitalizing on seven Tulane turnovers in the first seven minutes.

Tulane (3-11, 0-2) trailed by as many as 39 points.
