No. 6 North Carolina 88, Florida International 72

Chapel Hill, N.C. — Deon Thompson scored 20 points to help North Carolina spoil Isiah Thomas’ college coaching debut and beat Florida International on Monday night in the 2K Sports Classic.

Ed Davis added 13 points for the defending national champion Tar Heels (1-0), who had little trouble with the undersized Golden Panthers. North Carolina shot 56 percent and led by double digits much of the way to kick off its centennial season against Thomas, who took over the long-struggling program in April.

No. 16 Ohio State 100, Alcorn State 60

Columbus, Ohio — Evan Turner recorded only the second triple-double ever for Ohio State with 14 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists in the Buckeyes’ victory over Alcorn State in the 2K Sports Classic.

Turner needed one assist for 10, but his teammates missed three straight shots. A bounce pass to Jon Diebler, who had 22 points, led to a three-pointer with just over seven minutes left for the triple-double.

William Buford added 19 points, Jeremie Simmons 12 and Walter Offutt 11 for OSU.

No. 13 California 75, Murray State 70

Berkeley, Calif. — Jerome Randle scored 18 points, and Patrick Christopher sparked a key second-half run that helped California open its season with a victory in the 2K Sports Classic.

Theo Robertson added 14 points, Christopher had 13, and Jamal Boykin scored 12 for the Golden Bears (1-0), who held off a game effort from the Racers (0-1) of the Ohio Valley Conference.

The Bears entered the season with high hopes, coming off an NCAA Tournament appearance in coach Mike Montgomery’s first season.
