Frank Mason III scored 14 points and Perry Ellis added 13 for Kansas (15-3, 4-2 Big 12), which has lost two of its last three and fell out of a tie for the Big 12 lead.

The Cowboys (10-8, 2-4) nearly knocked off then-No. 2 Oklahoma six days earlier, but they missed a last-second shot and lost by two.

Georgetown 81, at No. 5 Xavier 72: Tre Campbell scored a career-high 21 points — 17 in the first half — and the Hoyas’ front line helped them hand the Musketeers their first home loss of the season. Georgetown (12-7, 5-2) Big East) led by as many as 11 in the second half.

at No. 7 Maryland 62, Northwestern 56 (OT): Melo Trimble scored 18 points, Diamond Stone made a pivotal three-point play with 1:13 left in overtime and the Terrapins squeezed past the scrappy Wildcats.

at No. 8 Southern Methodist 77, Houston 73: Nic Moore had 23 points and had some part in five consecutive SMU baskets down the stretch as the eighth-ranked Mustangs (18-0, 7-0 American Athletic Conference) remained Division I’s only undefeated team.

at No. 10 Texas A&M 71, Louisiana State 57: Jalen Jones scored 20 points and freshman Tyler Davis tied a season high with 18 as the Aggies (16-2, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) won their ninth in a row.

at No. 16 Providence 71, No. 18 Butler 68: Ben Bentil scored 13 of his 20 points in the second half, and the Friars (16-3, 4-2 Big East) rallied late to improve to 3-1 against ranked opponents. Kellan Dunham led Butler (13-5, 2-4) with 21 points, including six three-pointers.

No. 24 South Carolina 77, at Mississippi 74 (OT): Michael Carrera scored 19 points, Laimonas Chatkevicius added 17 and the Gamecocks (17-1, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) rallied in the final minutes. Ole Miss led, 64-53, with 5:17 remaining in regulation, but South Carolina tied it at 66 with 43 seconds on a layup by Carrera. Carrera also converted a three-point play in overtime to give the Gamecocks a 75-72 lead with 29.3 seconds left. Stefan Moody scored 24 points for the Rebels (12-6, 2-4), who have lost three in a row.

at No. 25 Indiana 103, Illinois 69: Troy Williams scored 21 points and Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell became the school leader in assists as the Hoosiers blew out the Illini.
