Kentucky tightens 'D' in rout of Rider (AP) Kentucky center DeMarcus Cousins saw Rider's Brandon Penn pull up from well behind the 3-point line and stretched every last inch of his 6-foot-11 frame in an effort to get a hand on the ball. Guarding an opponent 22 feet from the basket isn't something Cousins does often. And he plowed into Penn as the ball clanged off the rim, but Cousins...... No. 9 Duke hits 18 3s in 104-67 romp (AP) Duke doesn't have many guards. The ninth-ranked Blue Devils sure haven't lost their long-range touch. They matched a school record with 18 3-pointers in a 104-67 romp against Radford on Saturday behind a season-high 20 points from freshman Andre Dawkins. "We're just trying to take the shots the defense gives us," Dawkins said,...... Butler hangs on to beat Evansville 64-60 (AP) Butler coach Brad Stevens didn't even bother to look at the stat sheet Saturday night. No reason to. After watching the No. 11 Bulldogs struggle for 40 minutes, then allowing Evansville freshman Colt Ryan to single-handedly shoot the Aces back into contention in the final minute, Stevens didn't need any more evidence about how ugly this 64-...... No. 19 Hoyas cruise past Savannah State (AP) Sophomore guard Jason Clark scored a career-high 14 points in Georgetown's easy win over Savannah State on Saturday. Hoyas coach John Thompson III called it "irrelevant." That's because Thompson figures this is really just the beginning for Clark. If he's right, this could be a very successful season for the No. No. 20 Louisville eases by ETSU 69-56 (AP) Rick Pitino and the 20th-ranked Louisville Cardinals have a lot to work on and little time to do it. Edgar Sosa scored 13 of his 16 points in the first half and No. 20 Louisville beat East Tennessee State 69-56 on Saturday. The Cardinals won despite shooting just 36.4 percent, including just 6 of 30 from beyond the 3-point line. Freshman Richardson's 15 lift Illinois (AP) Freshman D.J.

He could only smile as he was asked about Syracuse's 22-1 run to open the second half of an 87-71 victory over No. 6 North Carolina on Friday night in the championship game of the 2K S...... Turner, No. 15 Ohio St. beat No. 13 Cal (AP) Ohio State's two-game visit to Madison Square Garden was inconsistent to say the least. The Buckeyes' best player, however, has been consistent all season.
