ACC/BIG TEN CHALLENGE

OHIO STATE 73, NO. 21 MIAMI 68: Ohio State erased a 14-point second-half deficit, mounting the comeback after the ejection of Miami scoring leader Jack McClinton to beat the Hurricanes in Coral Gables, Fla.

Jon Diebler scored 20 points and Evan Turner had 19 for the Buckeyes (4-0), who won for only the second time in seven games in the Challenge. Miami (4-2) fell to 0-3 in the series.

Miami led 36-21 late in the first half and 38-24 early in the second but sorely missed McClinton. The senior guard was ejected for a flagrant foul midway through the first half after he took a swipe with the palm of his hand at Ohio State's Anthony Crater, brushing his face.

BOSTON COLLEGE 57, IOWA 55: Iowa's Andrew Brommer missed the front end of a 1-and-1 with four-tenths of a second left and host Boston College held on to beat the Hawkeyes despite scoring just one point in the game's last 4:45.

Boston College (5-2) improved to 3-0 in the Challenge -- the only team other than Duke with a perfect record -- but the Eagles almost gave it away after taking a 56-45 lead.

After Iowa (6-2) cut the deficit to one point, Tyrese Rice, who scored 15 points in all, made one of two free throws with 12.5 seconds left. The Hawkeyes almost threw the ball away at the buzzer, but Corey Raji grabbed Brommer as he tried to turn around and throw up a desperation 3-pointer.
