CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — RJ Davis scored a career-high 36 points and third-ranked North Carolina dominated after halftime to beat Wake Forest 85-64 on Monday night, remaining the lone unbeaten team in Atlantic Coast Conference play.
The 6-foot senior scored 23 points after halftime for the Tar Heels (16-3, 8-0 ACC), who trailed by one at the break after failing to make a 3-pointer.
Davis finally got UNC on the board from behind the arc, starting an 18-4 run that blew the game open.
Wake Forest (13-6, 5-3) endured a cold-shooting second half that included going six minutes without a basket as UNC made its move. Hunter Sallis scored 18 points to lead Wake Forest, which was trying for its first win in Chapel Hill since 2010, but shot 8 for 30 (26.7%) and missed all nine 3-point tries after halftime.
NO. 7 KANSAS 74, CINCINNATI 69
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Johnny Furphy had career-highs of 23 points and 11 rebounds, Kevin McCullar Jr. scored 20 despite struggling with his shot, and Kansas beat Cincinnati in the first Big 12 matchup between the schools.
KJ Adams Jr. added 11 points and Hunter Dickinson overcame foul trouble to score 10, helping the Jayhawks (16-3, 4-2) bounce back from a loss at West Virginia and extend their homecourt winning streak to 15 games.
The cold-shooting Bearcats (13-6, 2-4), wrapping up a stretch of six straight against ranked teams, got within 64-57 when Day Day Thomas ended their 6-plus minute field-goal drought with just over 2 1/2 minutes to play. But at the other end, Furphy hit a 3-pointer from the wing as the shot clock expired, and the Jayhawks were able to hang on from there.
Dan Skillings Jr. led Cincinnati with 16 points. Leading scorer Viktor Lakhin was held to seven on 1-for-6 shooting.
