Top 25 men and women

Aaron Hutchins scored eight of his career-high 32 points in overtime as Marquette snapped No. 21 Cincinnati’s 10-game winning streak with a 66-63 victory Thursday in Milwaukee.

Marquette (12-4, 3-3 C-USA) got two offensive rebounds late in overtime to seal the win. After Marcus West missed a shot, Brian Wardle got the rebound and called timeout with 17 seconds left.

Marquette set up its play, but did not expect an intentional foul to be called on the Bearcats (14-3, 6-1). Hutchins made one free throw to give his team a 65-63 lead.

The Golden Eagles retained possession and Cincinnati fouled West with 7.9 seconds left.

West made the first free throw for the three-point margin. On the miss, Mike Bargen tipped the ball back to Hutchins, who ran out the clock.

Marquette went scoreless for the first 4 minutes of the second half. The first points, a basket by Hutchins, ignited a 9-2 run to give the Golden Eagles a 37-34 lead.

Utah tied a team record set in 1912-13 for the most consecutive victories to begin a season.

The Utes led only 43-40 with 7:22 to play before closing with a 14-6 run that featured eight straight free throws in the last 3:15. Air Force (7-7, 0-4) managed one field goal in the final 6:10.

Wake Forest tried to offset a height disadvantage by shooting a lot of 3-pointers, but managed to hit only 4 of 25 tries from long distance.

(22) Rhode Island 73, Va. Tech 66

At South Kingstown, R.I., Joshua King scored 16 points and center David Arigbabu added a seasonhigh 14 as the Rams (13-3, 5-1 Atlantic 10) defeated the Hokies (6-9, 1-4).

(24) Hawaii 65, Rice 63

At Houston, Mike Robinson hit the go-ahead free throws with 37.4 seconds to go and Micah Kroeger added a free throw and had the key defensive play at the buzzer as the Rainbows overcame Rice’s school-record 13 3-point baskets.

The Rainbows (13-3, 2-2 WAC) won despite a career-high 26 points and 6-of-12 3-point shooting by Rice’s Robert Johnson and 27 points by Bobby Crawford, who hit 6 of 9 3-pointers. Rice (5-12, 2-2) hit 13 of 27 3-point shots.
