A scan of the college basketball box scores each night guarantees all kinds of fun oddities. Here are a few we found from Saturday's games:
Texas A&M 67, Texas Tech 54
Texas Tech's starters combined to make just three field goals Saturday, matching the lowest total by any team's starting lineup in a game this season. Of the three teams to do it, TTU's starters played the most combined minutes (118).
Cincinnati 82, Villanova 78
Maalik Wayns scored 39 points, collected 13 rebounds and handed out 6 assists in the loss. He's the first player to reach those levels this season and the first to do it in a loss since Old Dominion's Alex Loughton did it in a double-overtime game on Dec. 6, 2003.
Green Bay 57, Wright State 56
Green Bay's 7-1 center, Alec Brown, set a Horizon League record with 11 blocked shots in the win, the most by any player in a game this season.
Dartmouth 83, Longwood 67
All five of Longwood's starters took at least 10 shots Saturday. It's the fifth time this season all five of a team's starters have taken that many shots. Longwood has now done it twice.
Long Beach State 76, Pacific 66
Long Beach State shot 35-of-39 (89.7 percent) from the free throw line, the highest percentage of the 239 instances in which a team has attempted more than 35 free throws in a game this season.
Florida State 90, North Carolina 57
UNC's John Henson missed all seven of his free throw attempts Saturday. That's the most free throw attempts without a make by any player this season.
Harvard 69, George Washington 48
Harvard shot 64.9 percent from the field, 50 percent from 3 and 85 percent from the free throw line in its 21-point victory. The only team this season to shoot a higher percentage from all three in a game was Indiana on Nov. 12 against Stony Brook.
Texas A&M 67, Texas Tech 54
