TOP 25 ROUNDUP UNLV hands No. 3 Arizona its first loss Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Dec. 24, 2014 @ 2:00 am By The Associated Press Posted Dec. 24, 2014 @ 2:00 am » Social News LAS VEGAS — Christian Wood had 24 points and 10 rebounds, Rashad Vaughn added 21 points and UNLV pulled off one of its biggest wins in recent years by knocking off No. 3 Arizona 71-67 Tuesday night. UNLV (8-3) refused to back down, playing more aggressively most of the game to end Arizona’s regular-season nonconference winning streak at 39 games. Trailing by five with 2:19 left, Arizona (12-1) fought its way back, pulling within 68-67 on T.J. McConnell’s putback with a minute left. The Wildcats had a couple of chances in the final minute, but Brandon Ashley’s jumper bounced out and Stanley Johnson was stripped by Patrick McCaw in the open court. STANFORD 74, No. 9 TEXAS 71, OT: At Austin, Texas, Anthony Brown scored a season-best 25 points and Chasson Randle added 22 to help Stanford knock off Texas. The victory was Stanford’s first on the road against a top-10 team since 2008. Brown gave Stanford (7-3) a one-point lead by making a driving shot with 1:08 left in the extra period. After Texas (10-2) guard Javan Felix missed a 3-point shot, Randle made a jumper with 10 seconds left for the final margin of victory. Felix and Demarcus Holland then missed forced 3-point shots as Texas tried to tie the game. Felix led Texas with a season-high 19 points. Guard Kendal Yancy and forward Jonathan Holmes scored 14 apiece. No. 4 LOUISVILLE 80, CAL STATE NORTHRIDGE 55: At Louisville, Ky., Wayne Blackshear hit his first seven shots en route to a career-high 31 points that helped Louisville rout Cal State Northridge. After a five-point effort Saturday at Western Kentucky, Blackshear made four 3-pointers en route to scoring 16 of Louisville’s first 21 points. The senior matched his previous career best of 23 points by halftime of a game the Cardinals (11-0) played without suspended junior forward Montrezl Harrell. No. 7 VILLANOVA 92, NJIT 67: At Villanova, Pa., Dylan Ennis scored 17 points, Ryan Arcidiacono matched a season high with 16 and Villanova shot 54 percent from the field to survive an early upset scare with a win over NJIT. Daniel Ochefu added 13 points and 10 rebounds for the Wildcats (12-0), who remained perfect on the season to match their second best start in program history. Four players hit double figures for NJIT (5-8), which stunned Michigan earlier this month and looked prime to pull off their second major upset of the season after shooting a blistering 8 for 13 from 3-point range in the first half. No. 11 WICHITA STATE 80, HAWAII 79: At Honolulu, Rashard Kelly grabbed a rebound and put back a short bank shot with 3.8 seconds left Tuesday night as No. 11 Wichita State overcame a sloppy night to beat Hawaii in overtime and reach the final of the Diamond Head Classic. Ron Baker led the Shockers (10-1) with 17 points on another horrid shooting night, though he came up with a key block to send the game into overtime. No. 14 UTAH 80, SOUTH DAKOTA STATE 66: At Salt Lake City, freshman Brekkott Chapman scored a career-best 22 points to help Utah cruise past South Dakota State. Delon Wright added 17 points, 10 assists and six rebounds for the Utes, who used a four-minute first-half run to take command and never looked back. Dakarai Tucker added 11 points for Utah (9-2).
