Second-ranked Hurricanes whacked at Wake Forest
* TOP 25
C.J. Harris scored 23 points and Wake Forest beat No. 2 Miami 80-65 on Saturday at Winston-Salem, N.C., to snap the Hurricanes' 14-game winning streak.
Codi Miler-McIntyre added 15 points while Harris was 5 for 5 from 3-point range to lead the Demon Deacons (12-14, 5-9 Atlantic Coast Conference).
They shot 54 percent, led by double figures for the entire second half and reeled off 12 straight points to pull away for their biggest victory under third-year coach Jeff Bzdelik.
Durand Scott had all 17 of his points in the second half for the Hurricanes (22-4, 13-1), the last of the schools in the six BCS conferences to get its first league loss.
No. 5 Florida 71, Arkansas 54: At Gainesville, Fla., Mike Rosario scored 15 points and Patric Young added 14 to pace a balanced attack that helped the Gators (22-4, 12-2 Southeastern Conference) beat Arkansas (17-10, 8-6).
No. 11 Georgetown 57, No. 8 Syracuse 46: At Syracuse, N.Y., Otto Porter scored a career-high 33 points and Georgetown beat Syracuse, putting an emphatic stamp on the impending end of an era before an imposing Orange crowd.
Thirty-three years after the Hoyas halted Syracuse's 57-game home winning streak at Manley Field House, Porter added his name to the pantheon of stars who made this rivalry scintillating over the years.
His incredible play stopped the Orange's 38-game winning streak in the Carrier Dome, the longest in Division I, and it came in front of a disappointed record crowd of 35,012, the largest ever to see a college basketball game on campus. It was the fewest points scored by Syracuse in the Carrier Dome.
It was the final game between Georgetown (21-4, 11-3 Big East) and Syracuse (22-5, 10-4) in the Carrier Dome as members of the conference - the Orange are leaving the Big East in July to join the Atlantic Coast Conference.
No. 9 Kansas 74, TCU 48: At Lawrence, Kan., Jeff Withey scored 18 points, Ben McLemore added 14 and Kansas (23-4, 11-3 Big 12) routed TCU (10-17, 1-13) to avenge a stunning loss to the lowly Horned Frogs just over two weeks ago.

The Golden Bears led by as many as 14 points but Oregon State cut it to 45-42 on Joe Burton's layup with 8:32 left in the game. The Beavers (13-15, 3-12) stayed within reach and Devon Collier's layup cut Cal's lead to 58-55 with 1:47 left.
