College basketball scores and highlights from Saturday’s action

Life in the ACC away from home has not been kind to preseason No. 1 Duke.

The Blue Devils fell to 0-2 in league games outside of Durham after a stunning 96-85 loss at NC State Saturday night. Coach K’s team opened conference play with an 89-84 defeat at Boston College on Dec. 9.

You might not see a better buzzer-beater this season. That’s LSU freshman point guard Tremont Waters hitting this game-winner against No. 11 Texas A&M with the Tigers down two on the final possession.

30 feet out. Swish. LSU wins, 69-68.

Less than 48 hours after they were on the Coors Events Center floor following an upset of No. 4 Arizona State, the Colorado students were at it again. The Buffaloes shot 54.7 percent from the field and held No. 14 Arizona to 38.4 percent on their way to an 80-77 upset in Boulder on Saturday.

The sweep of the Arizona schools marks a potentially seismic shift in the season for Colorado. Tad Boyle’s team entered the week with an overall record of just 8-6 and an 0-2 mark in Pac-12 play. Those two conference losses came on the road against Oregon and Oregon State by a combined 34 points.

Mizzou and Florida were tied at 75-75 with 17 seconds left on Saturday afternoon. The Tigers had the ball and were holding for the last shot. At least they were trying to until Florida’s Chris Chiozza stole the ball and scored a go-ahead layup in one incredible clutch play.

Chiozza stole a pass from Mizzou and raced down the court in the final seconds for the go-ahead layup. He put the ball through the hoop as time expired.

Virginia was picked to finish sixth in the ACC preseason poll. Two months into the season, the Cavaliers are proving they were wildly underestimated. Virginia welcomed No. 12 North Carolina to John Paul Jones Arena on Saturday afternoon and beat the Tar Heels 61-49 for their most impressive win of the season.

Senior guard Devon Hall was Virginia’s main source of offense, finishing with 16 points and seven assists in the win. The Cavaliers also got good minutes off the bench from redshirt freshman forward De’Andre Hunter, who had 10 points, seven rebounds and this highlight dunk:

The Providence Friars weren’t intimidated by the lofty number next to Xavier’s name. Providence got hot from three-point range and overcame a major deficit on the glass to give the No. 5 Musketeers their second loss of the season, 81-72, on Saturday afternoon at the Dunkin Donuts Center.

Providence has a strong perimeter attack this season, and they proved it in this win. Point guard Kyron Cartwright was outstanding on both ends, finishing with 19 points, nine assists, four steals in the win. Rodney Bullock, a 6’8 senior forward, added 17 points and knocked down 3-of-6 threes.
