No. 3 Pittsburgh 76, Siena 66

Pittsburgh — DeJuan Blair had 21 points and 16 rebounds and Sam Young and Tyrell Biggs scored 14 points each for Pittsburgh on Wednesday night.

The Panthers are 11-0 for the second straight season and the third time in the last four. They started the second half with a 16-3 run that stretched their lead to 53-32.

Siena (5-4), which had won three straight, didn’t get closer than five points after the opening few minutes. The 13-point margin of victory matched Pitt’s smallest this season.

Blair had eight offensive rebounds and was 10-of-14 from the field.

Levance Fields had 11 points, six assists and four rebounds for Pitt, which won its 37th consecutive home game against a nonconference opponent and its 86th in its last 88 at home outside the Big East.

Clarence Jackson and Edwin Ubiles had 12 points each for Siena.

No. 6 Duke 99, UNC Asheville 56

Durham, N.C. — Gerald Henderson and Kyle Singler both scored 14 points after being benched at the start of Duke’s rout.

Jon Scheyer added 13 points for the Blue Devils (9-1), who juggled the lineup after they were upset 11 days earlier at Michigan. Coach Mike Krzyzewski benched his regular starting lineup in favor of five players who had combined to make one start this season.

No. 11 Syracuse 82, Canisius 60

Syracuse, N.Y. — Rick Jackson scored a career-high 14 points and Paul Harris added 13 points and 11 rebounds for Syracuse, which rebounded from its first loss of the season.

The Orange (10-1) seemed to still be thinking about Cedric Jackson’s buzzer-beating shot from beyond halfcourt that gave Cleveland State a 72-69 victory Monday night. But after yet another sluggish start, Syracuse settled down and handed Canisius (3-7) its fourth straight loss.

No. 14 UCLA 75, Loyola Marymount 44

Los Angeles — Reserve Michael Roll scored 12 points, hitting four of UCLA’s season-high 11 three-pointers.

Darren Collison added 11 points for the Bruins (7-2), who have won three straight since a four-point loss at Texas on Dec. 4.

No. 17 Ohio St. 81, Jacksonville 68

Columbus, Ohio — David Lighty had 21 points to lead Ohio State.

The Buckeyes (7-0) led by 19 points early in the second half only to see the lead cut to five with 5 minutes left. Jon Diebler hit his third 3-pointer for the Buckeyes, and the Dolphins never got closer.

No. 19 Michigan St. 79, The Citadel 65

East Lansing, Mich. — Raymar Morgan had 26 points and 10 rebounds as Michigan State survived a 3-point barrage.

Morgan was 6-for-6 from the field in the first half and 11-for-12 overall for the Spartans (7-2), who led 37-19 in the first half.

No. 23 Memphis 59, Ark.-Little Rock 51

Memphis, Tenn. — Robert Dozier scored 15 points and Shawn Taggart and Tyreke Evans both added 12 for Memphis, which weathered a late rally by Arkansas-Little Rock.

Dozier missed only one of his four shots from the field and was 9-of-12 from the line as the Tigers (6-2) rebounded from a 79-70 overtime loss at Georgetown on Saturday.
