PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — Jeremiah Williams scored 18 points in his first home game of the season and Rutgers used a stifling defense to lead the entire game and hand No. 11 Wisconsin its fourth straight loss 78-56 on Saturday.

Noah Fernandes contributed 17 points and Clifford Omoruyi added 13 points and 13 rebounds for the Scarlet Knights (13-10, 5-7 Big Ten), who won a third straight game.

The 22-point victory was the largest margin of victory for Rutgers over a ranked opponent in program history.

Connor Essegian and AJ Storr scored 15 and 14 points, respectively, for Wisconsin (16-8, 8-5). The Badgers never got within single digits in the second half.

Williams had not played a college basketball game in nearly two years (709 days) prior to being activated before Rutgers’ game at Michigan on Feb. 3. The Iowa State transfer endured a season-ending Achilles injury last year and then had to sit out 20 games this season for violating the NCAA’s gambling policy.

NO. 1 UCONN 89, GEORGETOWN 64

WASHINGTON (AP) — UConn was never challenged on the way to its 12th consecutive victory, leading by as many as 26 in the first half while beating Georgetown behind Alex Karaban’s 25 points.

The defending national champion Huskies (22-2, 12-1 Big East) were dominant at both ends of the court, putting together runs of 9-0 and 11-0 before the game was 10 minutes old.

UConn never led by fewer than 20 in the second half, and finished with a 48-24 edge in points in the paint.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Zach Edey had 26 points and 13 rebounds and Braden Smith scored 19 points to lead Purdue past Indiana.

The 7-foot-4 Edey also had four assists, two blocks and his first career 3-pointer for the Boilermakers (22-2, 11-2 Big Ten). Smith grabbed nine rebounds in Purdue’s eighth consecutive win.

It’s the first time since 1993-94 that Purdue beat Indiana by 20 or more points twice in the same season.
