Atlanta — Ahmed Hill scored 15 points, Kerry Blackshear Jr. added 14 points and 10 rebounds, and No. 9 Virginia Tech overcame a terrible shooting performance to beat Georgia Tech, 52-49, on Wednesday night.

The Hokies (14-1, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) won their ninth straight game for the school’s best start to a season since the 1982-83 team had an identical record. They never trailed after Georgia Tech led in the first minute.

Virginia Tech, the nation’s second-best 3-point shooting team, hit only five 3s and finished at 18.5 percent from beyond the arc but still made enough stops to win.

Mississippi 82, No. 11 Auburn 67

Oxford, Miss. — Terence Davis had 27 points and 12 rebounds to lead surprising Mississippi to an 82-67 upset of No. 11 Auburn on Wednesday night.

Ole Miss (12-2, 2-0 S) continued its run of strong play under first-year coach Kermit Davis after being widely picked to finish at or near the bottom of the league.

Rutgers 64, No. 16 Ohio State 61

Piscataway, n.j. — Montez Mathis hit two contested layups and Geo Baker nailed a jumper with 10.3 seconds to play as Rutgers scored its biggest Big Ten Conference victory under coach Steve Pikiel.

The win was the Scarlet Knights’ first against a ranked Big Ten team since an upset of No. 4 Wisconsin in January 2015 under then-coach Eddie Jordan.

Temple 73, No. 17 Houston 69

Philadelphia — Quinton Rose scored 22 points and Temple handed Houston its first loss of the season.

Corey Davis Jr. was called for a charge in the final second of play, wiping out a tying basket for the Cougars (15-1, 2-1 American Athletic Conference). That left No. 2 Michigan and No. 4 Virginia as the only Division I teams without a loss.

Vermont 73, Maine 49

Bangor, Maine — Robin Duncan posted 11 points as Vermont rolled past Maine.

Anthony Lamb had 11 points for Vermont (12-4, 2-0 America East). Samuel Dingba added three blocks.

Sergio El Darwich had 16 points and eight rebounds for the Black Bears (2-15, 0-2), whose losing streak stretched to six games.
