    College basketball roundup

    Men

    No. 15 Georgetown 63, No. 18 Marquette 55

    Otto Porter scored 11 of his 21 points after a momentum-shifting technical foul on Marquette coach Buzz Williams, and Georgetown won a stop-and-start game of turnovers and whistles Monday night, beating the Golden Eagles to move into a tie for second in the Big East.

    Georgetown scored 24 points off Marquette's 19 turnovers, and Markel Starks added 16 points for the Hoyas (18-4, 8-3 Big East).

    Jamil Wilson scored 13 points to lead the Golden Eagles (17-6, 8-3).

    No. 14 Kansas 83, No. 10 Kansas St. 62

    Ben McLemore scored 30 points on his 20th birthday, Jeff Withey dominated in the paint and Kansas routed Kansas State to snap a maddening three-game skid and forge a tie for first in the Big 12.

    Withey had 17 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks. Withey even had a couple of steals as he helped the Jayhawks (20-4, 8-3 Big 12) pull even with the Wildcats (19-5, 8-3) in the league race.

    Rodney McGruder had 20 points and Angel Rodriguez added 17 for the Wildcats.

    Women

    No. 2 Notre Dame 93, No. 10 Louisville 64

    Natalie Achonwa had 22 points and 12 rebounds, Skylar Diggins added 21 points and seven assists and second-ranked Notre Dame routed Louisville, the 18th straight victory for the Fighting Irish.

    The loss ended a six-game winning streak for Louisville (20-5, 8-3).

    No. 5 Duke 71, No. 7 Maryland 56

    Chelsea Gray scored a career-high 28 points to lead Duke past Maryland.

    Tricia Liston had 17 points off the bench while Gray reeled off seven in a row midway through the second half after the Blue Devils (22-1, 12-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) trailed for the only time.

    Alyssa Thomas had 14 points and 12 rebounds. But the Terrapins (19-4, 10-2) could overcome neither 24 turnovers nor a miserable night for the ACC's leading scorer, Tianna Hawkins, and had their league-best nine-game winning streak snapped.

    Chloe Pavelich's 3 with about 10:45 left gave Maryland its only lead at 44-42.

    Three possessions later, Gray took charge - and kept Duke alone atop the league standings.
