Caleb Grill racked up 22 points off the bench and sank a pair of clutch free throws with five seconds remaining as Missouri upset No. 5 Florida 83-82 on Tuesday night in Gainesville, Fla.

Grill’s key foul shots came just one second after Alex Condon converted a layup to get the Gators (15-2, 2-2 Southeastern Conference) within 81-79. Alijah Martin followed with a 3-pointer, but Florida didn’t have enough time to complete a comeback.

Mark Mitchell complemented Grill with 15 points and eight rebounds for the Tigers (14-3, 3-1), while Anthony Robinson II added 12 points and Tamar Bates chipped in 10. Missouri went 11-for-29 from beyond the arc (37.9 percent), with six of those triples coming from Grill (on 10 attempts).

Florida’s Walter Clayton Jr. scored a game-high 28 points and nabbed three steals, Martin tallied 14 points and Will Richard added 12 points. Rueben Chinyelu had a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds for the Gators, who were 8-0 at home entering Tuesday.

No. 1 Auburn 88, No. 15 Mississippi State 66

Five Tigers scored in double figures and host Auburn survived its first test without its best player, Johni Broome, prevailing against the Bulldogs.

Broome is dealing with a sprained ankle. Chad Baker-Mazara scored 18 of his game-high 20 points in the first half for the Tigers (16-1, 4-0 SEC), while Chaney Johnson added 17 points, eight rebounds and four of Auburn’s 10 blocked shots.

Josh Hubbard scored 17 points for the Bulldogs (14-3, 2-2) but made just 2 of 12 field-goal attempts, doing most of his scoring by going 11-for-12 at the foul line. RJ Melendez added 15 points and 10 rebounds.

No. 3 Duke 89, Miami 54

Freshman Kon Knueppel scored a season-high 25 points as the Blue Devils rolled to their 11th consecutive victory, wiping out the Hurricanes in Durham, N.C.

Cooper Flagg, just three days after setting an Atlantic Coast Conference freshman record with 42 points against Notre Dame, chipped in 13 points and Khaman Maluach compiled 12 points and 15 rebounds for Duke (15-2, 7-0 ACC).

Lynn Kidd scored 20 points for Miami (4-13, 0-6), which has dropped its past six games. Austin Swartz added 11 points, draining half of the Hurricanes’ six 3-point baskets.

No. 21 Ole Miss 74, No. 4 Alabama 64

Malik Dia set season highs with 23 points and 19 rebounds, and the Rebels used stifling defense to knock off Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Jaylen Murray and Jaemyn Brakefield scored 13 points apiece for the Rebels (15-2, 4-0 SEC), who frustrated Alabama into 21 turnovers. Sean Pedulla totaled 12 points and Matthew Murrell 11 as Ole Miss was victorious for the first time ever in 35 road games against AP Top 5 teams. It won for the first time in Tuscaloosa since 2015.

Aden Holloway scored 15 points, while Mark Sears — the SEC’s leading scorer (19.1 ppg) — had 11 for Alabama (14-3, 3-1), which scored just 28 second-half points.

No. 7 Marquette 85, DePaul 83 (OT)

David Joplin scored a career-high 30 points and opened overtime with back-to-back 3-pointers as the Golden Eagles escaped Chicago with a victory over the Blue Demons.

Joplin made 7 of 13 3-point attempts, none bigger than those two to begin the extra session, where Marquette (15-2, 6-0 Big East) scored 12 of the first 14 points, then hung on to win its sixth straight game.

CJ Gunn scored 21 points and Isaiah Rivera sank four treys in a 43-second span in overtime and finished with 20 points for DePaul (9-9, 0-7). The Blue Demons dropped their fifth straight game overall and their 39th consecutive Big East regular-season contest.

No. 8 Kentucky 81, No. 11 Texas A&M 69

Jaxson Robinson tallied 22 points and the Wildcats won the battle of the boards in a victory over the Aggies in a key early-season SEC clash in Lexington, Ky.

Kentucky (14-3, 3-1 SEC) had a three-point lead at halftime that it expanded to a dozen less than four minutes into the second half. Short-handed Texas A&M (13-4, 2-2) whittled that margin to six with just under seven minutes to play, but the Wildcats pushed their lead to 63-53 less than a minute later and maintained at least an eight-point cushion the rest of the way.

The Wildcats outrebounded Texas A&M 40-30, earned a 28-22 edge in points in the paint and forged a 24-16 advantage in made free throws in a gritty game. Zhuric Phelps led Texas A&M with 21 points, with Pharrel Payne adding 15.

No. 19 Illinois 94, Indiana 69

Kylan Boswell scored 22 points and backcourt mate Kasparas Jakucionis added 21 as the Illini racked up 60 first-half points in a Big Ten rout of the Hoosiers in Bloomington, Ind.

Tomislav Ivisic posted 17 points and 11 rebounds and Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn added 12 points as the Illini (13-4, 5-2) recovered from a 10-point home loss to Southern California on Saturday that came without Jakucionis.

Oumar Ballo led Indiana (13-5, 4-3) with 16 points and 15 rebounds before being ejected with 2:24 to go. Luke Goode, who played the previous three years at Illinois, contributed 13 points and Myles Rice scored 12.

No. 24 Wisconsin 70, Ohio State 68

John Tonje scored 17 points and the Badgers held off the Buckeyes’ second-half comeback attempt for a victory in Madison, Wis.

John Blackwell added 15 points for the Badgers (14-3, 4-2), including a foul shot with 1.5 seconds left for a two-point lead. Steven Crowl scored 14 points for Wisconsin, which won its sixth in a row and gave coach Greg Gard his 200th career victory.

The Buckeyes (10-7, 2-4) had a chance to tie or win the game, but Devin Royal stepped out of bounds before he could try to shoot a potential game-winning 3-pointer. Bruce Thornton scored a game-high 21 points for Ohio State, including 19 in the second half.

Arizona 81, No. 25 Baylor 70

Henri Veesaar’s 19 points led the Wildcats to a seventh straight win as they beat the Bears in Tucson, Ariz.

Jaden Bradley had 13 points, five rebounds and six assists for Arizona (11-5, 5-0 Big 12). KJ Lewis finished with 11 points and seven assists.

Baylor (11-5, 3-2), which cracked the AP Top 25 on Monday after winning six of its previous seven games, played mostly with a six-player rotation because Jalen Celestine and Langston Love missed their fourth straight game with ankle injuries. Robert Wright led Baylor with 16 points off the bench and VJ Edgecombe had 14. Duke transfer Jeremy Roach scored 13.
