Jones' 3-pointer was the fourth in the last 4 minutes for the Blue Devils (18-3, 5-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), who had missed 11 of 13 before hitting the critical long-range shots they needed. Virginia (19-1, 7-1) started the second half with a 16-4 burst and led by 11 with just under 11 minutes to play before some ill-advised shots, turnovers and Duke's blistering shooting turned the tables. Malcolm Brogdon led Virginia with 17 points and Justin Anderson had 11. Quinn Cook, who scored 15 points, hit three 3-pointers in the last 4:38, including the one to give Duke the lead at 66-63 with 1:16 remaining. After Mike Tobey missed a free throw for Virginia, Tyus Jones hit the finisher with 9.9 seconds left, capping a game-ending 16-5 run for the Blue Devils. Duke was coming off a loss at Notre Dame on Wednesday night. NO. 1 KENTUCKY 70, ALABAMA 55: At Lexington, Ky., Karl-Anthony Towns scored all 12 of his points in the first half and Kentucky shot a season-best 59 percent to stay unbeaten. The Wildcats (21-0, 8-0 Southeastern Conference) were 24 of 41 from the field to surpass their previous best of 58 percent against Boston University in November. NO. 3 GONZAGA 82, MEMPHIS 64: At Spokane, Wash., Przemek Karnowski scored 17 points and Kyle Wiltjer added 15 to help Gonzaga claim its 15th straight victory. Domantas Sabonis had 13 points and 11 rebounds for his second consecutive double-double. The trio went 16 of 26 from the floor to help Gonzaga dominate Memphis inside for its first home victory over the Tigers in four attempts. NO. 5 WISCONSIN 74, IOWA 63: At Iowa City, Iowa, Frank Kaminsky had 24 points and nine rebounds to lead Wisconsin. Nigel Hayes scored 14 points and Sam Dekker and Josh Gasser each added 11 for the Badgers (18-2, 6-1 Big Ten). Wisconsin had 21 second-chance points. NO. 7 VILLANOVA 68, DEPAUL 55: At Rosemont, Ill., Ryan Arcidiacono scored all 18 of his points in the second half and Villanova beat DePaul to take the Big East lead. Villanova (19-2, 6-2) moved a half-game ahead of Providence atop the conference. After a 3-0 start, DePaul (11-12, 5-5) lost for the fifth time in its last seven conference games. PITTSBURGH 76, NO. 8 NOTRE DAME 72: At Pittsburgh, James Robinson hit a runner with 12 seconds remaining to give Pittsburgh the lead for good in an upset victory over Notre Dame. Robinson finished with 14 points and 10 assists for his first career double-double, including a twisting basket in traffic after Notre Dame's Jerian Grant gave the Irish a 72-71 lead on two free throws with 31 seconds to go. NO. 9 KANSAS, 68, KANSAS STATE 57: At Lawrence, Kan., Perry Ellis had 16 points and 12 rebounds and Kansas bolted to a big lead. Ellis had a double-double at halftime, with 13 points and 10 rebounds to help the Jayhawks (18-3, 7-1 Big 12) beat their state rival for the 49th time in the last 53 games. NO. 10 LOUISVILLE 78, NO. 13 NORTH CAROLINA 68, OT: At Louisville, Ky., Terry Rozier scored Louisville's first six points in overtime and the Cardinals erased an 18-point second-half deficit to beat North Carolina. Rozier's sweeping layup 43 seconds into overtime gave Louisville (18-3, 6-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) a 62-60 lead. He finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Montrezl Harrell had 14 of his 22 points in the second half and finished with 15 rebounds.
