MEN

No. 22 Pittsburgh 82, Providence 63

PITTSBURGH — Sam Young scored 22 points and No. 22 Pittsburgh limited Providence to six points in the opening 11 minutes of the second half, allowing the Panthers to pull away. Ronald Ramon, coming off a game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer against West Virginia, hit five 3-pointers while scoring 15 points and physical freshman DeJuan Blair proved a difficult matchup inside for Providence with 15 points and seven rebounds.

Pitt (19-5, 7-4 Big East) alternated wins and losses over its previous seven games before putting away the slumping Friars (13-11, 4-8), who lost their sixth in seven games and are winless in their last eight against the Panthers.

No. 5 North Carolina 75, Virginia 74

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Tyler Hansbrough scored 27 points, including a critical baby hook with 21 seconds to play and North Carolina once again survived a surprising challenge. The Tar Heels (23-2, 8-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), coming off a double overtime victory against Clemson on Sunday, got all they could handle from the Cavaliers, who had lost nine of 10 but played nothing like a team in a hopeless free fall.

WOMEN

No. 2 Connecticut 80, Georgetown 48

STORRS, Conn. — Freshman Maya Moore scored 25 points to lead No. 2 Connecticut to a rout of Georgetown. Tina Charles added 19 points and Renee Montgomery had 14 for the Huskies, who won their second straight after losing to fifth-ranked Rutgers a week ago. Aminata Diop had 11 points and six rebounds for Georgetown (18-6, 8-3 Big East). Moore, who also had nine rebounds and four assists, took over the game early, hitting two 3-pointers as UConn jumped out 10-2. She outscored Georgetown 21-17 by herself in the first half and Connecticut went into the locker room up 48-17. .

No. 10 Oklahoma 68, No. 20 Texas A&M 55
