Top 25 roundup | Monday night’s games


MEN

Kansas State 84, No. 1 Kansas 68

MANHATTAN, Kan.

Jacob Pullen scored a career-high 38 points and Kansas State shot 56 percent from the field en route to a stunning victory over Kansas, which moved to No. 1 just hours earlier. Pullen, a 6-foot senior who ranks in the top five in 17 career categories for Kansas State, had 23 points in a take-charge first half that propelled the Wildcats (17-9, 5-6 Big 12) to a nine-point halftime lead.

No. 17 Syracuse 63, West Virginia 52

SYRACUSE, N.Y.

Brandon Triche had 20 points, Kris Joseph added 16 and No. 17 Syracuse rallied late to snap a three-game losing streak at home. The Orange (21-6, 8-6 Big East) hadn’t lost four in a row at home since 1962-63, four years before coach Jim Boeheim enrolled. Syracuse has won 12 of the last 13 in the series with the Mountaineers (16-9, 7-6), who dropped out of the Top 25 earlier Monday

HARTFORD, CONN.

Maya Moore scored 27 points to become the Big East’s career scoring leader in Connecticut’s rout of Oklahoma. Moore passed Angel McCoughtry, who scored 2,779 points for Louisville from 2006-09. Moore needed 11 points coming into the game and broke the mark on a one-handed scoop shot with her right hand with 7:52 left in the first half. UConn (25-1) won its 14th straight game overall and 76th straight at home. Stefanie Dolson had 15 points and nine rebounds for the Huskies, who won their 14th straight game and 76th consecutive at home.
