College basketball scores, results: Duke, Houston, St. John’s roll to conference tournament titles

  • With star freshman Cooper Flagg sidelined for most of the tournament, No. 1 Duke still ran off with the ACC championship. Could the Blue Devils be in the running for the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament?
  • Duke leads 68-58 with 1:05 to go. Even without Cooper Flagg, the Blue Devils have rolled through the ACC
  • Bubble teams will have a close eye on this one, with UC Irvine a potential bid stealer if they win the Big West autobid here. UC San Diego may be in the field regardless of result.
  • It’s 62-51 Duke at the under-8 timeout. Louisville hasn’t been able to get back into the game after that Duke flurry. And the Cardinals are starting to run out of time.
  • Terrence Edwards Jr. has hit two 3-pointers after that opening half airball. He’s carrying the Cardinals right now, with 22 points.
  • Every time a team takes a lead, the other has an answer. It’s tied 45-45 with 14:28 to go.
  • Akron trailed by as many as 18 points before rallying back and winning it on Nate Johnson’s floater in the final seconds.
  • It was a matchup head coaching brothers John Groce (Akron) and Travis Steele (Miami), as detailed by Yahoo Sports’ Jeff Eisenberg.
  • Louisville closes the half on a 7-0 run to take the lead into the break. The Cardinals are shooting 55% from the field as Terrence Edwards Jr. has scored 15 points and hit three shots behind the arc.
  • We’re tied 28-28 at the final TV timeout of the half. Roughly half of the shots have been threes so far. Louisville is 4-of-11 — Chucky Hepburn is just 1-of-6 — and Duke is 5-of-13.
  • Duke maintains a slim 17-15 lead into the under-12 timeout of the ACC title game. This has been a fun and frenetic start.
  • St. John’s secures the double title, regular season and tournament, in the Big East. First tournament title since 2000.
  • RJ Luis (29 points) led the game-deciding surge in the 2nd half.
  • The Red Storm have this one in hand, leading 78-66 with about 2 minutes to play.
  • It was close until SJU went on a massive surge midway through the 2nd half.
  • The No. 1 seed Cougars finish the game on an 11-2 run to hold off a feisty Wildcats team.
  • That most likely secures Houston as a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tourney.
  • The Rams blow out Boise State to win the Mountain West autobid. That might be bad news for some bubble teams, as Boise was likely already in the NCAA tourney field.
  • The Cougars head into the final TV timeout with a 66-62 lead over Arizona.
  • Final 2:33 on tap with the Big 12 trophy on the line.
  • This KJ Lewis’ bucket was part of a 7-0 Wildcats run to give them a 62-61 lead with 5:28 to play.
  • Vince Iwuchukwu hit back-to-back buckets to give the Johnnies their first lead of the game, and the crowd is on its feet in New York City.
  • St. John’s 47, Creighton 44 | 10:21 to play
