After Georgia Tech (4-5) cut the Kansas lead to one point with 9 seconds left, Sherron Collins made two free throws and then had a steal and layup to clinch the victory.

Lewis Clinch led the Yellow Jackets with 22 points.

(4) Texas 66, Oral Roberts 56: At Austin, Texas, D.J. Augustin scored 24 points and the Longhorns survived their toughest home game this season with a victory over the Golden Eagles.

(8) UCLA 77, W. Illinois 52: At Los Angeles, Kevin Love made all of his shots in a 16-point performance and the Bruins beat the Leathernecks.

Western Illinois (3-7) has lost five of its last six.
