Sunday’s top 25 men’S games

No. 16 Louisville 62, Pittsburgh 59, OT

LOUISVILLE, Ky.

Kyle Kuric scored 12 points, including two big baskets in overtime, and the Cardinals held on through a bizarre ending to the extra session. The clock didn’t stop after the basket, which put the Cardinals up 62-57, and the horn sounded. Some Louisville cheerleaders on the baseline raced onto the floor, with one male cheerleader grabbing the ball and tossing it in the air. Officials called Louisville for a delay of game technical foul and put .5 seconds back on the clock. Pitt’s Ashton Gibbs knocked down two free throws and the Panthers had one last chance to tie, but Gibbs couldn’t get off a desperation heave in time.

No. 14 Connecticut 67, Cincinnati 59

Kemba Walker scored 11 of his 16 points in the second half and the Huskies pulled away late to snap a two-game losing streak.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C.
