Adam Cairns/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK

Cotie McMahon scored a career-high 33 points as No. 18 Ohio State upset No. 2 Iowa 100-92 in overtime Sunday afternoon in Columbus, Ohio.

McMahon also collected a team-high 12 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in the massive victory in front of a sold-out crowd for the Buckeyes (15-3, 6-1 Big Ten). Ohio State was also aided by Jacy Sheldon's 24 points, 11 points from Taylor Thierry and 10 points apiece from Celeste Taylor and Rebeka Mikulasikova.

As usual, Caitlin Clark powered Iowa (18-2, 7-1) with a season-high 45 points and seven assists. Molly Davis added 14 points and eight assists for the Hawkeyes, who saw their 15-game winning streak -- the longest ever under coach Lisa Bluder -- come to an end.

Iowa led by 12 points in the early moments of the fourth quarter after baskets by Clark and Davis, but the Buckeyes outscored Iowa 25-13 for the remainder of the final frame. In overtime, McMahon scored eight of Ohio State's 17 points.

No. 4 North Carolina State 72, Duke 57

Aziaha James scored a career-best 33 points as the Wolfpack bested the Blue Devils in Raleigh, N.C.

James shot 12-of-20 from the floor and also had eight rebounds. NC State (16-2, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) was also boosted by Mimi Collins' double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds, and a stat-stuffing effort of nine points, seven steals, six rebounds and five assists by Saniya Rivers. After a three-game absence due to a foot injury, River Baldwin started for NC State and tallied six points and three rebounds.

Kennedy Brown paced Duke (12-6, 4-3) with 14 points while Reigan Richardson added 11 and Oluchi Okananwa scored 10.

No. 14 Virginia Tech 74, Clemson 62

Elizabeth Kitley scored 31 points to power the Hokies to a win over the Tigers in Blacksburg, Va.

Kitley also had eight rebounds and four steals, while Matilda Ekh added 16 points for Virginia Tech (14-4, 5-2 ACC) in a bounce-back victory. Dayshanette Harris led Clemson (8-11, 1-6) with a season-high-tying 25 points, eight assists and six steals, while Amari Robinson chipped in 19 points.

Clemson led by five points with under three minutes to play in the first half, but Virginia Tech closed the second quarter on a 7-0 run to secure the lead at the break. The Hokies never trailed from there as they shot 54.7 percent from the floor for the game.

The Hokies played without starting point guard Georgia Amoore, who exited Thursday's loss at Duke with a head injury. Virginia Tech coach Kenny Brooks said she is "progressing well."

No. 21 Creighton 63, Villanova 49
