NO. 2 NOTRE DAME 92, NO. 15 MARYLAND 72
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) — Jewell Loyd had 27 points, eight rebounds and six assists as No. 2 Notre Dame quickly jumped to a 24-point lead and cruised to victory in a rematch of an NCAA tournament semifinal from last season.
Just like that semifinal game, which the Fighting Irish won by 26 points, Notre Dame (8-0) took control early and the Terrapins (6-2) never seriously threatened as they lost in their first appearance as a Big Ten member in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
The Irish dominated even though freshman Brianna Turner, their second-leading scorer at 15.3 points, left less than four minutes into the game with an apparent shoulder injury and never returned. Turner will undergo an MRI on Thursday.

The Longhorns improved to 6-0 to start a season for the first time since 2008-09.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Emily Cady put back a missed shot with 49 seconds left to put No. 12 Nebraska up by five and seal the victory for the Huskers.
Nebraska (7-0, 0-0 Big Ten) which led by as many as 13 in the first half, held Duke (5-2, 0-0) to just four points in the last five minutes of the game while scoring eight, six of them from the free throw line along with Cady's putback.

NO. 14 TENNESSEE 111, SAINT FRANCIS OF PENNSYLVANIA 44
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Isabelle Harrison returned from a five-game absence and Jaime Nared scored 20 points as No. 14 Tennessee avoided its first three-game losing streak since 1986.
Harrison, a first-team all-Southeastern Conference selection last season, hadn't played since spraining her right knee in a season-opening 97-52 victory over Penn on Nov. 14. The 6-foot-3 senior center wore a brace on the knee Wednesday as she scored five points and pulled down seven rebounds in 13 minutes.
Tennessee (5-2) was home again after falling 67-63 to Chattanooga and 72-59 to No. 4 Texas in its first two road games of the season. The Lady Vols haven't lost three straight since dropping consecutive games to Mississippi, Auburn and Louisiana Tech in February 1986.
Nared was one of six Lady Vols to score in double figures. Alexa Hayward scored 26 points to lead Saint Francis (0-5).

Northern Kentucky (4-4) stayed in reach until Goodin-Rogers, Goss and Epps each hit 3-pointers for Kentucky, closing the first half on a 16-7 run to lead 45-34 at the break. The Norse pulled back within six, but the Wildcats surged away from there as Epps' two layups made it 63-44 with 11:23 left.
Kaitlyn Gerrety paced the Norse with 13 points and seven rebounds. Christine Roush also had 13 points, Molly Franson added 12 and Melody Doss 11.
