NCAA: Kentucky extends winning streak against Louisville

NO. 3 KENTUCKY 69, NO. 4 LOUISVILLE 69

Lexington, Ky. ? Freshman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had season-highs with 24 points and 19 rebounds to lead No. 3 Kentucky to a 69-62 victory over No. 4 Louisville on Saturday to extend the nation's longest home winning streak.

Fellow freshman Anthony Davis added 18 points, all in the second half, for the Wildcats (13-1) in their annual in-state rivalry game.

The Cardinals (12-2) only led at 2-0, but gave Kentucky all it could handle after rallying from an early 15-point deficit before tying it in the second half thanks to Russ Smith, who had a career-high 30 points.

Kentucky has won 44 straight at home, including 43 in a row at Rupp Arena, for the nation's longest streak ahead of Duke's 43. This one will be remembered after the teams came in with the highest combined ranking in history.

NO.13 INDIANA 74, NO. 2 OHIO STATE 70

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) ? Victor Oladipo scored the go-ahead basket with 36 seconds left Saturday, and Jordan Hulls scored 17 points to lead No. 13 Indiana past second-ranked Ohio State 74-70 ? the school's first-ever sweep of the nation's top two teams.

Indiana (13-1, 1-1 Big Ten) is the ninth team to defeat both a No. 1 ranked team and the No. 2 team in the same season since 1996-97. The Hoosiers are only the third team to beat both teams in the same month. They beat then-No. 1 kentucky three weeks ago.

The Hoosiers needed Oladipo's layup, three free throws from Hulls and Watford, a rebound from Christian Watford and a steal from Oladipo in the final 36 seconds to seal it.

Ohio State (13-2, 1-1) was led by Aaron Craft with 16 points and Jared Sullinger with 15 points and nine rebounds, but it wasn't enough to extend their five-game winning streak or the school record six-game winning streak against the Hoosiers.

NO. 9 CONNECTICUT 83, ST. JOHN'S 69

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) ? Shabazz Napier had 17 points and nine assists for Connecticut in a game coached by assistants for both teams.

Andre Drummond had 16 points and 11 rebounds and Jeremy Lamb added 15 points for UConn (12-1, 2-0 Big East), which shot 60 percent from the field to win its seventh straight game.

Freshman D'Angelo Harrison had 17 points, and God'sgift Achiuwa and Moe Harkless each added 16 for St. John's (7-6, 1-1), which lost for the first time in four games.

UConn coach Jim Calhoun was serving the second of a three-game suspension for NCAA violations, while St. John's coach Steve Lavin continues to recover from prostate cancer surgery in October.

NO. 10 FLORIDA 90, YALE 70

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) ? Kenny Boynton's 26 points led Florida less than 40 hours after the Gators were upset at Rutgers.

Patrick Young added 19 points and Erik Murphy had 18 for Florida (11-3), while Bradley Beal had 11.

Greg Mangano led Yale (8-4) with 26 points and Austin Morgan added 10. Mangano's game-high 15 rebounds helped the Bulldogs to a 37-32 rebound advantage.

Boynton, who matched his season-high in scoring, had 18 points by halftime as the Gators took a 46-35 lead. Florida held its biggest lead at 83-57 with 4:04 left.

IOWA 72, No. 11 WISCONSIN 65

MADISON, Wis. (AP) ? Freshman reserve Aaron White scored 16 of his 18 points in the second half and Iowa snapped Wisconsin's six-game winning streak.

White was 6 of 7 from the field, including two 3-pointers, and made all four of his free throws as the Hawkeyes (9-6, 1-1 Big Ten) held on to beat the Badgers for just the third time in the past 15 meetings.

Senior Bryce Cartwright added 17 points and sophomore Melsahn Basabe had 14 for Iowa against Wisconsin, which came in allowing a national-best 44.4 points per game and hadn't given up more than 61 in any game.

Senior Jordan Taylor had 17 points to lead Wisconsin (12-3, 1-1), which shot 3 for 28 from 3-point range. The Badgers had won their previous 12 Big Ten home openers at the Kohl Center.
