TOP 25 ROUNDUP No. 1 Kentucky holds off No. 4 Louisville Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Dec. 27, 2014 @ 8:45 pm Updated Dec 27, 2014 at 9:48 PM By The Associated Press Posted Dec. 27, 2014 @ 8:45 pm Updated Dec 27, 2014 at 9:48 PM » Social News LOUISVILLE, Ky. — There were moments when top-ranked Kentucky could have blinked against No. 4 Louisville with its veterans battling second-half foul trouble and shooting woes. The Wildcats didn’t because freshman guard Tyler Ulis stepped up with a career-best 14-point performance made more impressive by the fact he achieved it despite a bandaged right eye that made blinking difficult. “I was more excited than nervous because it was my first away game,” said Ulis, who shook off a bloody cut to score 12 key second-half points and lead the Wildcats to a hard-fought 58-50 victory over the Cardinals on Saturday. “Being a freshman, I just wanted to see what the atmosphere felt like.” Ulis received three stitches above the eye afterward from the inadvertent elbow from Louisville’s Chris Jones in the first half. He returned with an effort that not only helped Kentucky claim Bluegrass State bragging rights, but possibly clear its biggest hurdle toward an unbeaten season. “We’re not going to think about it,” center Dakari Johnson said of that prospect. “We’re just going to take one game at a time.” Karl-Anthony Towns had 10 points and nine rebounds, while Devin Booker added nine points for Kentucky, which held Louisville (11-1) to 26 percent shooting in a game defined by defense until the freshmen started making their shots. They ended up scoring 39 points with the 5-foot-9 Ulis setting the second-half tone with two big 3-pointers to give the Wildcats (13-0) a cushion. His play was no surprise to fellow freshman Booker, who said, “Well, everybody’s seen it. He’s incredible. He’s showing people — you guys — things you haven’t seen out of him before, but I’ve seen it because we’ve played on camps and teams all the time, so it’s nothing new to me. He’s a real special player.” Trey Lyles added nine rebounds for the Wildcats, who outrebounded Louisville 46-33. The poised play by Kentucky’s heralded freshmen basically answered the question of how they would handle a hostile atmosphere in their first true road test before 22,812. The Wildcats also provided another example of how their length and depth can wear down an opponent. Terry Rozier scored 15 points and Jones had 13 for Louisville, which led just once at 13-12 and couldn’t seem to make the shot it needed every time it got close. “Their length is pretty incredible,” Louisville coach Rick Pitino said. “We knew that we could play good defense. It was a question of whether we could score, and the answer was we didn’t.” NO. 10 GONZAGA 87, BYU 80: At Provo, Utah, Kyle Wiltjer scored 24 points and Kevin Pangos had 21 points and seven assists, leading No. 8 Gonzaga to a win over Brigham Young in the West Coast Conference opener for both teams. Byron Wesley had 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Bulldogs (12-1, 1-0). Przemek Karnowski added nine points and 10 boards. Tyler Haws and reserve Anson Winder each scored 17 points for BYU (10-4, 0-1 WCC). Kyle Collinsworth had a triple-double with 11 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. NO. 15 MARYLAND 72, OAKLAND 56: At College Park, Md., Jake Layman had 15 points and 12 rebounds to help No. 15 Maryland extend its winning streak to five games. Dez Wells, the Terrapins’ scoring leader the past two seasons, was back in the lineup after missing the past seven games with a broken right wrist. Wells came off the bench and finished with 10 points. Freshman Melo Trimble was 5 of 6 from 3-point range and had 17 points for Maryland (12-1). Jalen Hayes scored 13 points and Kahlil Felder added 12 for Oakland (4-10). NO. 20 NORTH CAROLINA 89, UAB 58: At Chapel Hill, N.C., Marcus Paige scored 16 points to lead No. 20 North Carolina past UAB. Kennedy Meeks added 14 points and Justin Jackson had 13 for the Tar Heels (9-3), who never trailed and led by as many as 36 while shooting 50 percent. C.J. Washington had 12 points and Robert Brown added 11 for the Blazers (4-9). They were just 3 of 25 from 3-point range and lost their third straight. NO. 21 OHIO ST. 100, WRIGHT ST. 55: At Columbus, Ohio, D’Angelo Russell scored 24 points on a stellar shooting night and Amir Williams added a career-high 21 to lead No. 21 Ohio State past Wright State. Russell was 7 of 8 from the field, including 6 for 6 behind the arc, and 4 of 5 on free throws. Williams’ previous best was 18 points a year ago against North Florida. Kam Williams added 15 and Marc Loving 13 points for Ohio State (11-2), which shot 61 percent from the field. Grant Benzinger had 12 points and Joe Thomasson 10 for Wright State (8-6), which has lost two in a row after a four-game winning streak. NO. 24 COLORADO ST. 58, NEW MEXICO ST. 57, OT: At Las Cruces, N.M., J.J. Avila made a go-ahead layup with 31 seconds left in overtime in Colorado State's victory over New Mexico State. Avila led the Rams (13-0) with 19 points, and Stanton Kidd had 19. Remi Barry had 14 points for the Aggies (5-9) and Pascal Siakam added 13. Siakam was fouled with 4 seconds left, but missed both free throws.
