LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Rajon Rondo scored 25 points, setting a career high for the fourth time this season, and No. 23 Kentucky rebounded from its worst loss in 16 years to beat No. 4 Louisville 73-61 on Saturday.
Kentucky beat its archrival in consecutive years for the first time since winning three straight over the Cardinals from 2000 to 2002.
Louisville coach Rick Pitino -- who restored Kentucky basketball to glory in the 1990s -- has a 34-3 record in December during his five seasons with the Cardinals (6-1) with all three losses to Kentucky.
It was the 350th career victory for Kentucky's Tubby Smith. He is one of seven coaches to reach 350 wins in 15 seasons or less. His record is 350-123 in 15 seasons at Tulsa, Georgia and Kentucky.
Kentucky (7-3) had lost two of its previous three games, including a 26-point defeat against Indiana on Dec. 10.
Louisville, playing away from home for the first time this season, made one of its first 14 shots while Kentucky took a 13-3 lead. The Cardinals finished 21-of-60 from the field (35 percent).
Taquan Dean had 14 points and six assists for Louisville.
No. 5 Memphis 72, Mississippi 49
OXFORD, Miss. -- Rodney Carney, Memphis' sixth man, scored 19 points to lead the Tigers.
Memphis (8-1) never trailed, led by as many as 24 points and shot nearly 44 percent in winning its fifth straight game.
Memphis coach John Calipari started three freshmen and two sophomores. Carney, a senior captain and the preseason player of the year in Conference USA, showed off a variety of highlight-reel dunks and sent home happy a huge group of Memphis fans who made the 90-mile drive to Oxford.
Shawne Williams added 13 points for the Tigers.
Clarence Sanders led the Rebels (6-3) with 13 points.
Tennessee 95, No. 6 Texas 78
AUSTIN, Texas -- Chris Lofton scored 21 points and Tennessee kept up its perfect early season run under first-year coach Bruce Pearl by handing the Longhorns their second straight blowout loss.
C.J. Watson added 17 points for Tennessee (6-0), which hit 12 3-pointers, hounded Texas into 22 turnovers and routinely sliced through the Longhorns' normally tough defense for easy baskets.
A week earlier, Texas (8-2) was ranked No. 2 and off to its best start in 24 years. Then came a 31-point loss to No. 1 Duke and then this, a surprisingly easy Tennessee victory that snapped the Longhorns' 33-game home nonconference winning streak.
P.J. Tucker had 20 points and 11 rebounds to lead Texas, which was booed briefly by the home crowd in the first half.
No. 14 UCLA 68, Michigan 61
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Jordan Farmar had 21 points and Arron Afflalo added 20 for UCLA, which held off a late rally to hand the Wolverines their first loss of the season.
The Bruins (8-1) are off to their best start since 1997-98.
UCLA led 63-50 with 4:35 left, but Michigan then scored nine straight points. Afflalo's steal and short pass to Luc Richard Mbah a Moute for a layup gave the Bruins a 65-59 lead, and some breathing room, with 1:23 left.
Chris Hunter had 15 points for Michigan (7-1), while Dion Harris scored 14.
No. 15 George Washington 98Maryland-Eastern Shore 72
WASHINGTON -- Danilo Pinnock scored 18 points to lead five George Washington players in double figures.

George Washington took control with a 20-4 run midway through the first half.
Tim Parham led Maryland-Eastern Shore (2-8) with 21 points and nine rebounds.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Eric Williams had 15 points and Justin Gray added 14 as Wake Forest bounced back from a rare home loss.
Trent Strickland had 13 points and nine rebounds for the Demon Deacons (8-2), who were beaten by DePaul on Wednesday night to end their 21-game winning streak at Lawrence Joel Coliseum.
Kyle Koncz had 17 points for the Tigers (2-6), who were coming off a 41-21 loss to Monmouth, the lowest-scoring Division I game since the introduction of the 3-point line.
Princeton cut Wake Forest's lead to 40-34 with about 14 minutes remaining but Williams dunked to start a 21-3 run.
