UNDATED (AP) - Just like in last April's national championship game, Kansas topped Memphis. But Memphis made the top-ranked Jayhawks sweat a bit in their 57-55 victory. Cole Aldrich had 18 points, 11 rebounds and blocked five shots, Memphis had a shot to win at the end but Elliott Williams, who had canned a long three-pointer with 16.7 seconds left, had his potential game-winner clang off the rim. Kansas kept Memphis in the game by committing 21 turnovers. Winning coach Bill Self said after the game: "We weren't sound at all."
- Second-ranked Michigan State rallied to beat Gonzaga 75-71 for the Spartans' 41st straight home victory against a nonconference opponent. Durrell Summers hit the go-ahead three-pointer with just over three minutes left and finished with 21.
