College basketball scores: UNC, Michigan upset

On Sunday, Belmont shocked No. 12 North Carolina 83-80. Every point mattered as the Bruins nailed three-after-three in the closing minutes of the game, while the Tar Heels shot a horrendous 22-for-48 from the free throw line.

And what kept them from hitting free throws? Well, one lone Bruins fan in the Dean Smith Center was just being Miley:

• Who will go No. 1: Jabari Parker or Andrew Wiggins?

• A night at The Convention with Wiggins, Parker and Randle

Jack Taylor of Division III Grinnell College scored 109 points against Crossroads in a 173-123 win on Sunday afternoon. After scoring 71 points in the season opener, Taylor’s now averaging 90 points a game.

Despite his incredible shooting performance on Sunday, 109 points isn’t even his career high. Taylor dropped 138 points in a game last November, setting the all-time D-III individual scoring record.

Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg only went seven players deep, but it was Ejim who did all of the damage in front of a rowdy James H. Hilton Coliseum crowd. Ejim came off the bench and led the Cyclones with 22 points, nine rebounds and three steals, and he got help from four Iowa State starters who reached double figures.

But the favorite Wolverines played ahead and with the Cyclones for much of the game.

With 15 seconds left, Mann drained a three off a dribble-handoff atop the key to give Belmont an 81-80 lead:

Belmont won the game from behind the three-point line, going 15-of-37 from deep while UNC attempted only seven three-pointers in the entire game. The Tar Heels were able to attack the rim at will, but they could not convert from the charity stripe, making only 46 percent of their free throws. Tokoto was the primary offender, going 4-of-16 from the line.

The Connecticut Huskies avoided the upset against Boston University, 77-60, behind strong play from their lead guard, Shabazz Napier. The senior recorded 12 points, 12 rebounds, six assists, two steals and just three turnovers on Sunday.

Daniels led the Huskies’ offense early, scoring eight points as UConn took off to a 10-0 lead.

The Sycamores, as a team, shot 48 percent from the floor while the Fighting Irish hit just 37 percent of their shots.

ISU controlled the game early and went into halftime with a 40-30 lead.
