TOP 25 COLLEGE BASKETBALL No. 4 Duke dominates No. 6 Louisville Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Jan. 17, 2015 @ 7:31 pm By The Associated Press Posted Jan. 17, 2015 @ 7:31 pm » Social News LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Jahlil Okafor scored 14 of his 18 points in the second half, Amile Jefferson added 19 and No. 4 Duke dominated No. 6 Louisville inside in a 63-52 victory Saturday. Staggered by a 16-point loss to Miami on Tuesday night that ended their 41-game home winning streak, the Blue Devils (15-2, 3-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) gave coach Mike Krzyzewski his 998th victory. Louisville (15-3, 3-2) shot was 18 of 61 from the field and failed again to beat one of the ACC's traditional powerhouses. The Cardinals lost at North Carolina last Saturday. Terry Rozier led Louisville with 17 points. NO. 10 ARIZONA 69, NO. 8 UTAH 51 : At Tucson, Ariz., Stanley Johnson scored all 18 of his points in the second half, T.J. McConnell added 16 points in a rare display of offensive aggression and Arizona rolled over Utah. Arizona (16-2, 4-1 Pac-12) came out shaky at both ends in the Pac-12's first game between Top 10 teams in nearly seven years. The Wildcats rallied behind McConnell, the pass-first point guard who created his own shots while still setting up his teammates. Brandon Taylor had 12 points for Utah (14-3, 4-1). NO. 1 KENTUCKY 70, ALABAMA 48 : At Tuscaloosa, Ala., Devin Booker scored 13 points and Kentucky coasted to its second straight lopsided Southeastern Conference victory. The Wildcats (17-0, 4-0) withstood an early second-half rally by Alabama (12-5, 2-2) before brushing off the potential challenge. It wasn't a laugher like Kentucky's 86-37 win over Missouri on Tuesday night, but the Wildcats easily overwhelmed an Alabama team that had won six of its last seven games. Levi Randolph led Alabama with 13 points. NO. 2 VIRGINIA 66, BOSTON COLLEGE 51 : At Boston, Malcolm Brogdon scored 20 points, Anthony Gill had 11 points and 10 rebounds and Virginia pulled away to beat Boston College. The Cavaliers (17-0, 5-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) continued their best start since the Ralph Sampson-led 1980-81 team won its first 23 games. Olivier Hanlan had 18 points and six assists for Boston College (8-8, 0-4). NO. 3 GONZAGA 72, LOYOLA MARYMOUNT 55 : At Los Angeles, Gary Bell Jr. scored 17 points and Gonzaga pulled away in the second half to beat Loyola Marymount for its 11th straight win over the Lions. Kevin Pangos added 16 points and six assists, Bryon Wesley had 14 points and Kyle Wiltjer 12 points for the Zags (18-1, 7-0 West Coast). They've won 10 in a row since an overtime loss to Arizona on Dec. 6. Ayodeji Egbeyemi had 14 points for the Lions (5-14, 1-6). NO. 5 VILLANOVA 62, PENN 47 : At Philadelphia, Daniel Ochefu had 21 points and 10 rebounds for Villanova. The Wildcats (17-1) took a breather from Big East play to play their final game of the season in Philadelphia's city series. Against the Ivy Leaguers, the Wildcats only led by one midway through the second half until a 21-6 run finally clinched their fourth straight victory. Antonio Woods had 18 points for the Quakers (4-9). NO. 12 NOTRE DAME 75, MIAMI 70 : At South Bend, Ind., Jerian Grant scored 23 points and Notre Dame overcame a 12-point deficit in the second half to beat Miami. After making just two of their first 16 3-point tries, the Irish hit seven of their next nine. Grant's 3 broke a tie with 6:19 left, and he made a layup and blocked a shot in the last minute. Notre Dame (17-2, 5-1 ACC) also equaled the program's best start through 19 games, matching the 1978-79 team. Sheldon McClellan scored 17 points for Miami (12-5, 2-2). NO. 13 WICHITA STATE 61, EVANSVILLE 41 : At Evansville, Ind., Darius Carter and Ron Baker scored 18 points apiece to lead Wichita State past Evansville. The Shockers (16-2, 6-0 Missouri Valley) held the Aces to their season-low points total and a season-low 30 percent from the field. D.J. Balentine scored 16 points for Evansville (13-5, 3-3). NO. 14 MARYLAND 75, MICHIGAN STATE 59 : At College Park, Md., freshman Melo Trimble scored 21 of his 24 points in the first half and Maryland breezed past Michigan State to take sole possession of first place in the Big Ten. Trimble made five 3-pointers to stake the Terrapins to a 40-26 halftime lead, and the margin swelled to 20 with 10 minutes left. It was a sharp contrast to Maryland's victory in the first meeting between the teams, a double-overtime thriller Dec. 30. Branden Dawson had 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Spartans. NO. 20 TEXAS 77, NO. 16 WEST VIRGINIA 50 : At Austin, Texas, Cam Ridley scored 19 points and set the tone with a thunderous early dunk as Texas snapped a two-game skid with a bruising victory over West Virginia. Jonathan Holmes added 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Longhorns, who routinely peppered the Mountaineers with dunks, blocks and ripped down rebounds at will. Myles Turner added 16 points for the Longhorns (13-4, 2-2 Big 12) in a game dominated by the muscular Texas frontcourt. Gary Browne scored 14 points for West Virginia (15-3, 3-2), which got into foul trouble early and shot just 25 percent in its first loss away from home this season. NO. 17 VCU 70, DUQUESNE 64: At Pittsburgh, JeQuan Lewis scored a season-high 16 points and Virginia Commonwealth beat Duquesne for its 10th straight victory. Melvin Johnson added 14 points for the Rams (15-3, 5-0 Atlantic 10). Scoring leader Treveon Graham missed the game because of an ankle injury. NO. 18 OKLAHOMA 82, NO. 24 OKLAHOMA ST. 65 : At Norman, Okla., Buddy Hield scored 27 points on 10-for-10 shooting to help Oklahoma beat Oklahoma State. Jordan Woodard scored 13 points, Ryan Spangler had 11 points and 11 rebounds and TaShawn Thomas added 10 points for the Sooners (12-5, 3-2 Big 12), who snapped a two-game skid and got their third win over a ranked team in conference play. KANSAS STATE 63, NO. 22 BAYLOR 61 : At Manhattan, Kan., Nino Williams had 18 points to lead a big second-half rally, and Kansas State forced Baylor's Kenny Chery to miss a layup at the buzzer. Marcus Foster added 11 points and Thomas Gipson finished with nine, including a clutch free throw with 4.8 seconds left, to help the Wildcats (10-7, 4-1 Big 12) win their fourth straight game. NO. 25 WYOMING 70, FRESNO STATE 65, 3OT : At Fresno, Calif., Larry Nance Jr. scored 21 points and Josh Adams added 16 to help No. 25 Wyoming survive a triple-overtime thriller. Nance missed two free throws with a second left in the second overtime for the Cowboys (16-3, 5-1 Mountain West), but recovered to hit the basket that gave Wyoming the lead for good in the final overtime period.
