CINCINNATI - Taquan Dean scored 25 on Saturday, leading No.19 Louisville's comeback from a 17-point first-half deficit for a 69-66 victory over No.18 Cincinnati.

Louisville then ran down the shot clock, and Francisco Garcia passed out of a double team to Larry O'Bannon, who sneaked unguarded under the basket for the layup with 11 seconds left. After a timeout, Jihad Muhammad's long 3-pointer smacked off the backboard.
TCU 61, MEMPHIS 59: Corey Santee's running 3-pointer with .2 seconds left lifted the visiting Horned Frogs. Nile Murry's three-point play with 1:21 left put TCU, which led 44-32, up 58-56 with 1:21 left. Duane Erwin tied it with a 15-footer, and Memphis' Anthony Rice missed a 3-pointer with seven seconds left. Santee took the inbound pass, dashed upcourt for the winner. HOUSTON 63, SO. MISS 53: Brian Latham scored 19 and Andre Owens added 18 to lead the host Cougars. Owens, who had four 3s, set the school record for career 3-pointers with 184.
