Baylor 97, Colorado 83: WACO - Henry Dugat and Aaron Bruce each scored 19 points to help lead Baylor to a 97-83 win over Colorado on Tuesday night.

Five Baylor players scored in double figures as the Bears (12-9, 2-6 Big 12) broke a four-game losing streak.

Kevin Rogers had 15 points and 12 rebounds, while Curtis Jerrells had 17 points and Tweety Carter had 11 points.

Colorado (5-13, 1-7) trailed by 23 points at halftime but cut the deficit to 73-62 on Richard Roby's layup with 10 minutes left.

Baylor's Bruce and Tim Bush responded with 3-pointers in an 8-4 Baylor run that put the Bears in front 81-66. Colorado never challenged again.

The Bears finished the game with a season-high 14 3-pointers in 25 attempts.

Xavier Silas led Colorado with 23 points, while Jeremy Williams and Roby had 18 apiece as the Buffaloes lost their fourth straight game.

Oklahoma 81, Longwood 40: NORMAN, Okla. - David Godbold and Longar Longar scored 16 points apiece to lead five Oklahoma players in double-figures as the Sooners rolled to an 81-40 victory over Longwood on Tuesday night.

Godbold finished 5-of-6 from the field and connected on all four of his 3-point attempts. Longar was good on 7-of-9 shots to help the Sooners shoot 49 percent for the game.

Nate Carter had 15 points for Oklahoma (12-8), and Tony Crocker added 11 points.

Carter set a new school record for consecutive free throws made (37) when he hit the first of two with 14:07 left in the opening half. The senior forward missed the second to fall two shy of the Big 12 Conference record. Joey Graham of Oklahoma State holds the Big 12 record of 39 set in 2004-05.

Notre Dame (18-4, 6-3 Big East) won for the first time in four conference road games and halted a three-game losing streak against the reeling Orange (15-7, 4-4), who lost their third straight game.

No. 6 Connecticut 70, Cincinnati 60: CINCINNATI - Kalana Greene made three jumpers during an early 19-point run, and No. 6 Connecticut overcame a second-half slump and reached another program milestone Tuesday night by beating Cincinnati (12-9, 3-6).
