HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Jordan Obi scored 17 points, Clara Strack had a double-double and No. 23 Kentucky rolled to a 76-44 win over Marshall on Saturday.
Strack had 15 points and 13 rebounds for the Wildcats (5-0), who have scored at least 75 points in their first five games since a seven-game streak 12 seasons ago. Asia Boone had 14 points off the bench and Teonni Key added 10. Tonie Morgan had 11 assists and Amelia Hassett had 14 rebounds, leading to a 54-28 advantage on the boards.
Timaya Lewis-Eutsey and Blessing King both had nine points for the Thundering Herd (2-2), who shot just 28% (14-50), going 3 of 16 on 3-pointers.
NO. 2 SOUTH CAROLINA 69, NO. 8 SOUTHERN CAL 52
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Joyce Edwards had 17 points and 10 rebounds and South Carolina beat Jazzy Davidson and Southern California in a matchup billed as The Real SC at Crypto.com Arena.
Raven Johnson and Tessa Johnson scored 14 points each for the Gamecocks (4-0), who lost to UConn in the national title game last season.
Kennedy Smith scored 12 points and Kara Dunn added 10 to the lead the Trojans (2-1), whose star player watched from the end of the bench. JuJu Watkins isn’t playing this season while rehabbing from a torn ACL sustained in the NCAA Tournament in March.

UCLA controlled the entire game and was especially effective inside in outscoring the Bulls 56-18 in the lane. The Bruins also made 61% of their shots.
No. 11 NORTH CAROLINA 74, FAIRFIELD 49
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Laila Hull hit four 3-pointers and finished with 14 points to lead five North Carolina players scoring in double figures and the 11th-ranked Tar Heels beat Fairfield.
Nyla Brooks, Nyla Harris and Ciera Toomey scored 12 points apiece and Indya Nivar added 10 for North Carolina.
UNC opened the second quarter with a 19-2 run that culminated when Hull hit a 3-pointer that gave the Tar Heels a 30-21 lead with 3:30 left in the first half. The Stags made 3 of 9 from the field and committed nine turnovers as they were outscored 26-6 in the period.
Fairfield scored 12 of the first 15 second-half points and Kaety L’Amoreaux made a 3-pointer with 4:35 left in the third quarter that trimmed the deficit to 46-43 but Hull answered with a 3 that sparked an 11-0 run to push the lead into double figures for good.
