MEN’S ROUNDUP Sunday’s other games
No. 3 North Carolina 103,
Clemson 93, 2 OT
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Tyler Hansbrough scored 13 of his 39 points in the first and second overtimes to help North Carolina rally from a 15-point deficit. Wayne Ellington added 28 points for the Tar Heels (22-2, 7-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who needed a frantic comeback to keep alive their perfect record against the Tigers in Chapel Hill. North Carolina has won all 53 meetings, setting an NCAA record for the longest home winning streak against one opponent. Cliff Hammonds scored 31 points to lead the Tigers (17-6, 5-4).
Washington 71, No. 5 UCLA 61
SEATTLE — Justin Dentmon, benched in favor of a freshman for most of the season, scored 20 points to lead Washington. Dentmon entered for the jittery Venoy Overton in the game’s first minute and then took over for the Huskies (13-11, 4-7 Pac-10), who had lost four straight — the last three at home. Jon Brockman added 12 points and 17 rebounds for Washington. Josh Shipp scored 19 points and Russell Westbrook had 18 for the Bruins (21-3, 9-2).
No. 13 Xavier 76, Saint Josephs 72
CINCINNATI — Stanley Burrell scored 16 points and made a pair of clinching free throws with 13 seconds left to help the Musketeers win the matchup of the Atlantic 10’s top two teams. Xavier (20-4, 8-1) solidified its hold on first place with its 12th victory in the last 13 games. This one wasn’t easy — the Musketeers blew a 14-point lead and had to rally late. Rob Ferguson scored 18 for the Hawks (15-7, 6-3), who had a turnover and missed a pair of shots in the final 20 seconds. Pat Calathes was only 4-of-15 from the field for 16 points.
