The Associated Press
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Fourthranked Syracuse finally met its match.

With the Carrier Dome crowd reaching deafening levels, Blackwell scored his only points of the game with 1:07 left, hitting two free throws to put Syracuse ahead for the last time, 67-66.
Lane, who finished with 20 points, won it with a long three-point shot from the left side, and the Pirates survived a three-point try by Preston Shumpert and close-in shots by Blackwell and Etan Thomas in the final 10 seconds.

Seton Hall, which used some great passing in the first half — the Pirates had 10 assists — reverted in the second half to the long-range shooting that had crushed West Virginia 97-66 Saturday.
Jayhawks slide to No.20
No new teams enter this week's AP poll
The Associated Press
For the first time this season, there were no changes in the teams in The Associated Press college basketball poll. There was some movement yesterday, including Connecticut dropping out of the Top 10 for the first time since 1997.
Cincinnati (22-1) was No. 1 for the fifth straight week, matching its run from earlier this season.
Connecticut (16-5) beat Villanova then was soundly beaten at Michigan State and fell from seventh to No. 13. It was the first time the defending national champions were out of the Top Ten since being ranked 11 on Dec. 22, 1997, a run of 42 consecutive polls.
Kansas dropped five spots to No. 20 after losing on the road to Iowa 77-69.
This week's schedule could bring the changes back in a hurry as there is at least one double-ranked game every day except Friday.

Huskies remain No.1
Big victory boosts Tennessee in poll
The Associated Press
Connecticut's first loss cost the Huskies some first-place votes, but not its No. 1 ranking in The Associated Press women's basketball poll.
Despite a 72-71 defeat at home to Tennessee, Connecticut remained at the top of the poll yesterday, a position the Huskies have held all season.
UConn received only 27 first-place votes. That was still enough to give the Huskies a 41-point lead against Tennessee, which jumped past Georgia and Louisiana Tech into the No.2 spot.
Connecticut defeated Tennessee last month at Knoxville.
There were few changes elsewhere in the Top 25, which had only one newcomer. Stanford, which has been in and out of the poll twice this season, returned for a third time at No. 24. Illinois dropped out.
Connecticut (20-1) bounced back from the loss to Tennessee to beat Seton Hall 86-34, a game the Huskies led 41-8 at halftime.
