Arizona State (12-1, 4-6 Pac-12) shook off a lopsided loss to Arizona a month earlier to set off a court-storming in Tempe for the second straight season. Savon Goodman had 15 points and nine rebounds for Arizona State, and Tra Holder added 15 points and eight assists. T.J. McConnell had 25 points for Arizona (20-3, 8-2). NO. 1 KENTUCKY 68, FLORIDA 61: At Gainesville, Fla., Aaron Harrison scored 23 points, Karl-Anthony Towns added 19 and top-ranked Kentucky remained unbeaten. Willie Cauley-Stein chipped in 13 points, highlighted by a thunderous dunk over freshman Devin Robinson in the second half, and the Wildcats (23-0, 10-0 Southeastern Conference) snapped a three-game losing streak against the Gators (12-11, 5-5). Kentucky is the only remaining unbeaten team in the country. NO. 4 DUKE 90, NO. 10 NOTRE DAME 60: At Durham, N.C., Justise Winslow had 19 points and 11 rebounds, and Duke used a huge early run to rout Notre Dame.

NO. 3 VIRGINIA 52, NO. 9 LOUISVILLE 47: At Charlottesville, Va., Malcolm Brogdon scored 15 points and Virginia held off Louisville. The Cavaliers (21-1, 9-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) held the Cardinals without a point for the last 10 1/2 minutes of the first half in taking a 24-13 lead. Virginia played the second half without injured scoring leader Justin Anderson and missed him as the Cardinals rallied within three. NO. 5 WISCONSIN 65, NORTHWESTERN 50: At Madison, Wis., Bronson Koenig scored a season-high 16 points, Sam Dekker also had 16 and Wisconsin won its sixth straight game. Nigel Hayes added 11 points and eight rebounds for the Badgers (21-2, 9-1 Big Ten). They are off to their best start since going 21-1 in 2006-7. NO. 7 VILLANOVA 69, NO. 24 GEORGETOWN 53: At Philadelphia, Darrun Hilliard scored 15 points and Josh Hart had 13 to help Villanova avenge its worst game of the season.

NO. 12 NORTH CAROLINA 79, BOSTON COLLEGE 68: At Boston, Isaiah Hicks scored 21 points, Brice Johnson had 20 points and 10 rebounds and North Carolina beat Boston College to snap a two-game losing streak.
