St. John's jumped out to an early lead and upset No. 3 Duke on Sunday afternoon.

It was just the second loss of the season for the Blue Devils, who committed 17 turnovers and shot just 5-for-26 from three-point land.

The Red Storm shot 59.3% from the field.

Clemson routed Florida State on Saturday afternoon for their first win over a ranked opponent this season.

The Tigers forced 22 turnovers and held the Seminoles to less than 33 percent shooting from the field.

"We're a big, strong, physical team," Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton said. "But their physicality knocked us back on our heels."

Clemson rushed to 22-6 lead and the Seminoles never got closer than eight the rest of the way.

North Carolina coach Roy Williams says he should have kept quiet last week, when he ripped fans who called his radio show to criticize the show.

On this week's radio show, Williams said he regretted having done that.

"I wish I had not said one word," he said Monday, according to a transcript of the show posted by the website insidecarolina.com.

In the news conference last week, a frustrated Williams said he was sick of the armchair criticism of his team.

"Everybody was talking about how they were Carolina fans for nine million years and how bad we are. I don't give a damn how long you're a Carolina fan, those are kids in the locker room, and they played their buns off tonight," he said last week. "Don't call me next week and say how good we are; keep your damn phone calls to yourself."

Iman Shumpert's triple-double led Georgia Tech to a 72-57 victory over Virginia Tech on Tuesday night.

The triple-double was the first for Georgia Tech since Kenny Anderson's against Pittsburgh on Dec. 28, 1989.

"It feels good," Shumpert said. "I'm all smiles tonight."

Shumpert had 22 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists and a game-high seven steals.

North Carolina and Michigan State are closing in on a deal to play a basketball game on an aircraft carrier next season.

Tar Heels coach Roy Williams said on his radio show Monday night that the teams plan to play on Veteran's Day 2012 on a carrier in San Diego.

A contract to play the game isn't in place yet, but the details are being finalized.

Virginia hit 10 three-pointers in their 72-64 victory over Georgia Tech on Saturday.

The Cavaliers (11-8, 2-3 ACC) had dropped three games in a row and five of their previous seven contests.

Georgia Tech was coming off a 35-point victory over Wake Forest and had won consecutive ACC games by 20 points or more for the first time in school history.

Maryland's seniors rose and spoke during a team meeting prior to Saturday's game against Clemson.

"We told them about our experience in the NIT our freshman year," senior guard Adrian Bowie said. "It's not a fun experience. We didn't want to go back."

The Terrapins went on to beat Clemson, 79-77, to get back on track.

Maryland will need more wins to boost their NCAA Tournament hopes, but they needed a victory after losing three of their first four ACC games.

"We needed to come back and prove to everybody, especially after playing bad against Virginia Tech, that we're a team to be reckoned with," said sophomore center Jordan Williams.

North Carolina State beat Miami 72-70 on Sunday to snap a three-game losing streak.

Richard Howell scored a career-high 17 points in his first start in nearly two months for the Wolfpack.

They blew a 17-point lead but made two critical stops in the final 30 seconds to extend Miami's road woes.

The Tar Heels have offered a scholarship to Desmond Hubert, a 6-foot-9 forward from New Jersey.

Hubert is being recruited by one other ACC school, Maryland. He has already taken an official visit there and is being recruited by his fellow Garden State native and Terp commit, Sterling Gibbs.

Florida State's Chris Singleton is expected to cause problems for Miami when the two schools do battle on Wednesday.

Malcolm Grant was reviewing film from one of last season's losses to Florida State recently when he was reminded about the dangers of dribbling near Singleton.

"It was a play when Chris switched over onto me and I started messing around with the ball," Grant said.

"I tried to make a move, slip past him and he just stuck his arm out and took the ball away from me. To me, he’s got to be one of the best defenders in the country just because of that – his size, his length, his skills. There aren’t too many guys that can defend a [point guard] and go down and mix it up with a [power forward]."

Singleton, who led the ACC in steals and finished fifth in blocks last season while averaging 10.2 points and seven rebounds, has developed into a much more dangerous and polished weapon for the Seminoles since the Hurricanes last saw him.
