men’s top 25 \ Tuesday’s other games

No. 1 Kansas 84, California 69

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Sherron Collins keyed a late surge to finish with 17 points and Kansas overcame a rare quiet game from its bench. Kansas (11-0) came into the game as one of the deepest teams in the country, with its reserves averaging 29.3 points per game. Even with coach Bill Self rotating players like a tag-team wrestling match, the Jayhawks’ subs couldn’t get much going, combining for 18 points.

No. 5 Syracuse 92, Oakland, Mich. 60

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Freshman guard Brandon Triche had a season-high 27 points and Wes Johnson added 19 points and 11 rebounds, to lead Syracuse. Syracuse (12-0) has a week before it opens Big East play at Seton Hall. Oakland (6-7) dropped to 0-11 against the Big East in losing its third game to a ranked team this season. The Golden Grizzlies lost on the road to top-ranked Kansas and Michigan State. Syracuse took control with a 17-4 run that began midway through the first half, with Triche and Johnson each scoring eight points, then pulled away in the second.

No. 10 North Carolina 98, Marshall 61

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Ed Davis had 19 points and 10 rebounds while fellow big man Tyler Zeller matched a career high with 18 points to lead North Carolina. Marcus Ginyard and Deon Thompson added 14 points apiece and Will Graves had 13 points and 10 rebounds for the Tar Heels (9-3). They shook off a sloppy start and broke open a surprisingly close game by scoring 18 straight points early in the second half and holding Marshall without a field goal for roughly 5 1/2 minutes.
