Ryan Agarwal drove the length of the court and converted a last-second layup to lift Stanford over N.C. State on Saturday 74-73.

Agarwal, a redshirt sophomore guard, received the inbounds pass with about 15 seconds left after a second-chance basket put the visiting Wolfpack ahead by one. He dribbled through defenders and finished at the rim with 8.1 left on the clock for the last of his nine points, eight assists and seven rebounds.

Maxime Raynaud led Stanford with 25 points and 12 rebounds in the win, which snapped a two-game losing streak for the Cardinal (16-8, 8-5 ACC). All but four of the 7-footer’s points came after halftime as Stanford flipped a 33-29 halftime deficit into a lead that grew as wide as 61-52 with 8:29 to go.

A showdown with No. 2 Duke awaits next weekend; first the Cardinal travel to Georgia Tech on Wednesday.

Wake Forest 76, Cal 66 >> Jeremiah Wilkinson had 21 points, but it wasn’t enough for Cal to cool down a red-hot Wake Forest squad Saturday afternoon.

Wilkinson made three 3-pointers and was 10 for 11 at the foul line. Jovan Blacksher had 12 points and Andrej Stojakovic scored 10. Mady Sissoko added nine points and 10 rebounds.

But Cameron Hildreth had 23 points, Hunter Sallis added 20 and Efton Reid scored 19 to lead the Demon Deacons (18-6, 10-3 ACC), who upped their win streak to three by sweeping the West Coast schools.

Wake Forest opened the road trip with a 79-73 victory over Stanford and has won 9 of its last 11 games.

Reid, Hildreth and Sallis each scored nine, accounting for all but four of Wake Forest’s 31 first-half points. Blacksher had nine points on 3-for-4 shooting from 3-point range to get Cal within two at halftime.

Wilkinson made two free throws for Cal to tie it five minutes into the second half, but Omaha Biliew answered with an inside score and Reid added a 3-pointer in an 8-0 run as Wake Forest moved in front 50-42. Wilkinson buried a 3-pointer to end the run, but that was as close as the Golden Bears would get.

Cal plays Wednesday at No. 2 Duke, which became the second top-two team to fall Saturday in a 77-71 loss to Clemson.

Boise State 79, San Jose State 53 >> Latrell Davis was the only San Jose State player to score in double figures, with 14 points, as the Spartans fell on the road Friday night.

Trailing from the 12:13 mark of the first half onward, the 29-point loss was the Spartans’ (12-13, 5-8 MWC) largest of the season and snapped a brief two-game winning streak. They return home to take on San Diego State on Tuesday.

No. 6 Florida 90, No. 1 Auburn 81 >> Walter Clayton Jr. scored 19 points and Alex Condon added 17 as No. 6 Florida rallied from an early deficit and beat No. 1 Auburn on Saturday, ending the Tigers’ 14-game winning streak.

Florida (20-3, 7-3 SEC), down by 10 points early, built a 10-point advantage by the end of the first half and held off Auburn in the second half for its second victory over a top-ranked team this season. Florida beat then-No. 1 Tennessee 73-43 on Jan. 7.

Tigers leading scorer Johni Broome, a contender for national player of the year, had 18 points and 11 rebounds as Auburn (21-2, 9-1) had its nine-game conference winning streak halted.

SJSU 72, Nevada 67 >> Sydni Summers scored a season-high 21 points, Finau Tonga added 12 and Rylie Waugh joined them in double figures as San Jose State triumphed over Nevada on Saturday, securing the Spartans (10-15, 3-9 MWC) a 10-win season for the first time since 2019-20.

Loyola Marymount 69, Santa Clara 62 >> A big day from beyond the arc lifted LMU over Santa Clara on Saturday.

Brandi Williams (24 points) and Allison Clarke (18 points) each sank five 3-pointers to lead the Lions (10-12, 4-10 WCC), who shot 46.2% (12-for-26) from deep. While Olivia Pollerd contributed a 23-point, 12-rebound double-double while sinking 5 of 7 3-point attempts, the Broncos (13-12, 7-8 WCC) ended the day 7-of-19 (36.8%) from downtown and trailed from the opening bucket.
