Cal (16-4, 8-2), which got 25 points from Monty Buckley, erased a 34-14 deficit to trail by 50-46 at halftime. The Golden Bears scored the first eight points of the second half to take a 54-50 lead and never trailed the Sun Devils (11-8, 6-4) again.
No. 1 North Carolina 95, Maryland 89--Point guard Derrick Phelps scored nine of his 21 points in the final 2:12 to help hold off a furious rally by Maryland (12-7, 5-5) in an Atlantic Coast Conference game at Chapel Hill, N.C.

No. 7 Louisville 65, South Florida 50--Clifford Rozier scored 25 points and keyed a 17-6 run down the stretch in a Metro Conference game at Tampa, Fla., as the Cardinals (19-2, 8-1) won their ninth game in a row. The Bulls (9-11, 2-5) entered the game with a 10-game home winning streak, eight this season.

Duquesne (11-8, 5-5) tied the score with 15 seconds to play on a jump shot by Kenya Hunter. Rick Brunson then found Ivey for the short shot and the victory for Temple (17-3, 10-2).
No. 13 Massachusetts 70, Rhode Island 64--Derek Kellogg scored 13 points, seven in the final two minutes, and Lou Roe overcame an early injury to add 11 as the Minutemen (18-4, 9-0) won at Providence, R.I., to remain undefeated in the Atlantic 10.
No. 22 Marquette 61, Cincinnati 60--Jim McIlvaine blocked eight shots, scored 18 points and made two free throws that gave the Warriors a Great Midwest victory at Cincinnati.
McIlvaine’s free throws with 2:20 to play put Marquette ahead, 61-60, and both teams went cold the rest of the way. Marquette (16-6, 7-1) missed three free throws, and Cincinnati (15-7, 3-4) missed twice in the final nine seconds.
