TOP 25 ROUNDUP No. 1 Kentucky rallies to avoid first defeat Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Mar. 4, 2015 at 2:00 AM By The Associated Press Posted Mar. 4, 2015 at 2:00 AM » Social News ATHENS, Ga. — No. 1 Kentucky overcame a nine-point deficit in the second half to keep its perfect season intact, beating Georgia 72-64 on Tuesday night. The Wildcats (30-0, 17-0 Southeastern Conference) had won their previous five games by an average of 24 points. They were really challenged in this one by Georgia (19-10, 10-7), which had the sellout crowd roaring when Yante Maten tipped in a miss of his own shot to put the Bulldogs up 56-47 with 9 minutes remaining. But Kentucky began pounding the ball inside to 6-foot-11 freshman Karl-Anthony Towns, who managed to stay in the game until the closing seconds after picking up his fourth foul. Kentucky seized the game with a 14-0 run, and Georgia hurt its chances by missing three straight 1-and-1s. No. 4 VILLANOVA 76, CREIGHTON 72: At Omaha, Neb., Ryan Arcidiacono converted a three-point play to give Villanova the lead in the last minute and came up with the game's final rebound, allowing the Wildcats to turn back Creighton's upset bid and win its 11th straight game. Austin Chatman's 3-pointer pulled the Bluejays within 74-72 with 6 seconds left, and Creighton got the ball back after Arcidiacono ran into Chatman as Villanova tried to inbound. Will Artino missed what would have been the tying layup, and Arcidiacono grabbed the ball, got fouled and made the free throws. Arcidiacono finished with 23 points for the Wildcats (28-2, 15-2 Big East). No. 9 KANSAS 76, No. 20 WEST VIRGINIA 69, OT: At Lawrence, Kan., Frank Mason III capped one of the biggest comebacks in Allen Fieldhouse history by scoring the last eight points in overtime to lead Kansas past West Virginia for the Jayhawks' 11th consecutive Big 12 championship. Mason had 19 points for the Jayhawks, whose 11 straight conference titles trail only the 13 in a row UCLA won in the John Wooden era. Trailing by as many as 18 points in a ragged first half, Kansas (24-6, 13-4) finally tied it 59-all on two free throws by Devonte Graham with 11.5 seconds left in regulation. No. 10 MARYLAND 60, RUTGERS 50: At Piscataway, N.J., Dez Wells scored six straight points after Rutgers tied the game late in the second half and Maryland won its sixth straight game, a much-harder than expected victory over the Scarlet Knights. Wells finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds as the Terps (25-5, 13-4 Big Ten) sent Rutgers (10-20, 2-15) to its 13th straight loss. The skid is the longest since the Scarlet Knights lost 16 straight in 1987-88. No. 19 NORTH CAROLINA 81, GEORGIA TECH 49: At Atlanta, just in time for a rematch with Duke, North Carolina established some late-season momentum by beating Georgia Tech, completing a sweep of the struggling Yellow Jackets. The Tar Heels, who have won two straight for the first time since January, close their regular season against No. 3 Duke on Saturday. Duke beat North Carolina 92-90 in overtime on Feb. 18. GEORGETOWN 60, No. 21 BUTLER 54: At Indianapolis, D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera scored 16 points, helping Georgetown hold on for a victory over Butler. The Hoyas (19-9, 11-6) have won four of their last five and still have a chance at the No. 2 seed in next week's Big East tournament.
