    NCAA Men's Basketball Roundup/Top 25

    Oklahoma St. 61, No. 4 Kansas 60: Byron Eaton scored a career-high 26 points, including the game-winning free throw with 12.6 seconds left, and Oklahoma State knocked Kansas out of first place in the Big 12 with an upset victory Saturday.

    Eaton was fouled by Sasha Kaun as he drove to the basket and made the first free throw before missing the second.

    Kansas grabbed the rebound and worked the ball to Brandon Rush, but he missed a 3-pointer from the left corner before fans rushed the court to celebrate the Cowboys' third straight victory.

    The Jayhawks (24-3, 9-3) rallied from a nine-point second-half deficit to go ahead 58-54 in the final 3 minutes. But Oklahoma State (14-12, 5-7) finished strong to knock Kansas out of a first-place tie with No. 7 Texas, which beat Oklahoma 62-45 on Saturday.

    Darnell Jackson led Kansas with 16 points and 10 rebounds while playing three days after his 19-year-old cousin, Kascey Corie McClellan, died after getting shot earlier this month at an Oklahoma City nightclub. Backup guard Rodrick Stewart also played three days after Allen Stewart, his cousin and adopted brother, was shot and killed in Seattle.

    No. 6 UCLA 75, Oregon 65: Russell Westbrook scored 16 points and helped rally UCLA from an 11-point second-half deficit.

    The Bruins (24-3, 12-2) extended their lead in the Pac-10 to 1 1/2 games over No. 9 Stanford, which plays California on Sunday.

    Westbrook helped ignite a 38-17 game-ending run.

    Kevin Love, dogged by double teams, added 15 points and 11 rebounds for his 16th double-double for the Bruins, while Darren Collison had 17 points.

    Maarty Leunen had 17 points and 11 rebounds for Oregon (15-12, 6-9), which has lost eight of 11.

    No. 7 Texas 62, Oklahoma 45:D.J. Augustin scored 19 points and Texas held the Sooners to a season-low point total.

    The Longhorns (23-4, 10-2) have won seven straight, the school's longest winning streak in the Big 12.

    Texas has also won five in a row and 10 of the last 13 against the Sooners (18-9, 6-6).

    Blake Griffin led Oklahoma with 16 points and 16 rebounds.

    No. 16 Drake 71, No. 8 Butler 64: Josh Young scored a career-high 25 points, including three free throws when he was fouled on a 3-point attempt with 20 seconds to go, for Drake.

    Drake (24-3) snapped a nine-game winning streak for Butler (25-3), which led by four points midway through the second half but went scoreless for almost 5 minutes during a decisive 9-0 run by Drake.

    Jonathan Cox added 13 points for Drake, which got its first nonconference victory over a Top 25 team since 1980.

    Matt Howard finished with 16 points for Butler.

    No. 19 Michigan St. 66, Iowa 52: Raymar Morgan scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half and coach Tom Izzo got his 300th career win with the Spartans.

    Six weeks after a humbling 43-36 loss to the Hawkeyes, the Spartans (22-5, 10-4 Big Ten) jumped to a 20-1 lead over the opening 10:20 and were never seriously threatened.

    Michigan State committed a season-low five turnovers, 13 fewer than it had in Iowa City.

    Cyrus Tate led Iowa (12-16, 5-10) with a career-high 26 points and nine rebounds.

    No. 20 Vanderbilt 86, Georgia 74: Shan Foster scored 29 points Alex Gordon added 23 to lead Vanderbilt.

    The Commodores (23-4, 8-4) extended their winning streak to six games and remained one game behind Kentucky for second place in the Southeastern Conference East Division.

    Sundiata Gaines had 24 points for Georgia (12-13, 3-9), which led 38-37 at halftime. But Vanderbilt stepped it offensively behind Foster, who scored 21 points after halftime including opening the final 20 minutes with his first 3-pointer of the game. The Commodores made 17 of their first 24 shots in the second half to take an 86-68 lead on a 3-pointer by Foster with 4:38 remaining.

    Nebraska 65, No. 22 Texas A&M 59: Sek Henry and Steve Harley scored 11 points each to lead Nebraska to its second straight win over a ranked team.

    The loss was the third straight for the Aggies (20-7, 6-6 Big 12).

    Nebraska (16-9, 5-7) beat No. 24 Kansas State 71-64 on Wednesday.

    Derrick Roland led Texas A&M with 13 points.

    Baylor 92, No. 24 Kansas St. 86: Michael Beasley's Big 12 record 44 points wasn't enough for Kansas State to avoid another road loss, not even with 31 more points from fellow freshman Bill Walker.

    Curtis Jerrells scored 24 points, including some clutch baskets in the go-ahead spurt by Baylor in a victory over the Wildcats and their high-scoring freshman duo.

    Beasley's two free throws with 1:56 left gave him 44 points, one more than the conference record, and made it 87-85. But Kansas State (18-8, 8-4) couldn't get closer and lost its fourth straight road game.

    It was the third 40-point game of the season for Beasley, the Big 12 leader in scoring and rebounding. He also had 13 rebounds, his 23rd double-double to break Carmelo Anthony's NCAA freshman record.
