Kansas freshman Darryn Peterson sat out Tuesday night's 77-46 rout of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi after hurting his hamstring in a shootaround earlier in the day, but coach Bill Self does not believe the injury will keep the potential NBA lottery pick out of the starting lineup for long. The No. 25 Jayhawks, who were coming off a loss at North Carolina, rolled even without Peterson, who many considered the No. 1 overall recruit coming out of high school. “I actually told the guys, ‘I’m excited to watch you play because (Peterson) is not going to be there,'” Self said.

North Carolina had almost no time to bask in the glow of last week's rousing win against fellow blueblood Kansas before taking a shot to the gut, coming in the form of senior Seth Trimble suffering a broken arm in a workout mishap. “This lineup change, it just happened a couple of days ago,” coach Hubert Davis said. It will take some time to adjust without Trimble, both from an experience standpoint with the 6-foot-3 guard in his fourth year with the program and the fact that he's the team's top perimeter defender.

Nolan Winter had 19 points and 10 rebounds as No. 24 Wisconsin never trailed in an 86-55 blowout of Ball State on Tuesday night. Nick Boyd and Braeden Carrington had 12 points each for Wisconsin (3-0). Austin Rapp added 11 points and Andrew Rohde had 10.

Acuff made 3-pointers on three straight possessions and Knox added a three-point play to stretch Arkansas' (2-1) lead from 10 to 20 during a 12-2 run early in the second that ultimately ended the Bears' comeback chances. Another 13-2 run later in the half turned things in a blowout. Arkansas' defense limited Central Arkansas (1-2), especially in the second half.

Kelsey revived Louisville basketball in his first year as head coach. Now he has a signature win to start his second.

Keyshawn Hall had 20 points, 11 rebounds and six assists, Elyjah Freeman scored 21 and No. 22 Auburn overwhelmed Wofford 93-62 on Tuesday night. Hall topped 20 points for the third time in as many games. The 6-foot-7 forward racked up 28 points in the season opener and then had 25 in the Tigers’ most recent outing.

Dame Sarr had 19 points and Isaiah Evans added 16 points, and No. Duke beat Army 114-59 on Tuesday night. The Blue Devils played on Veterans Day at West Point in honor of former coach Mike Krzyzewski, who was a cadet there and basketball player under legendary coach Bobby Knight.

Kohl Rosario scored 16 points to help make up for the absence of fellow freshman Darryn Peterson, and No. 25 Kansas bounced back from last week's loss to North Carolina with a 77-46 rout of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Tuesday night. Flory Bidunga added 12 points while Bryson Tiller and Tre White had 11 apiece for the Jayhawks (2-1), who held the Islanders (1-3) to 32% shooting while winning their 22nd consecutive nonconference home game. Peterson, the nation's No. 1 recruit, scored 21 points in his debut against Green Bay and 22 against the Tar Heels.

Joyce Edwards scored 18 points and Tessa Johnson added 13 as No. 2 South Carolina beat Clemson 65-37 on Tuesday night for its 15th straight victory over its state rival. The Gamecocks (3-0), who have won the previous five games with the Tigers (2-1) by an average of 48 points, struggled at times to put away their Atlantic Coast Conference rival. Clemson was within five points three minutes before halftime and trailed by 10, 45-35, entering the final quarter.

Trimble is a senior captain and the only returning starter from last year's team.
