Terrence Jones had 15 points and 11 rebounds to lead No. 1 Kentucky to a 77-62 victory over Mississippi Saturday, the Wildcats' 50th consecutive win at home. The Wildcats (26-1, 11-0 Southeastern Conference) are 49-0 at home under head coach John Calipari as part of the nation's longest active home winning streak. Kentucky took an early 16-5 lead, but the Rebels took advantage of freshman center Anthony Davis sitting for much of the first half because of foul trouble. Ole Miss forwards Terrance Henry and Murphy Holloway took the ball inside without the nation's leading shot blocker looming. Henry, who had 16 of his 18 points in the first half, helped the Rebels (15-11, 5-7) take a 31-29 lead. But the Wildcats hit three straight 3-pointers to take a 43-35 halftime lead, and they never trailed in the second half. Doron Lamb had 16 points for Kentucky. No. 8 North Carolina 74, Clemson 52: Harrison Barnes scored 24 points and Tyler Zeller added 14 to help North Carolina beat Clemson. The Tar Heels (23-4, 10-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) improved to 56-0 all-time against Clemson (13-13, 5-7) in Chapel Hill — a record for consecutive home wins over one opponent. John Henson added 13 points for the Tar Heels, while Kendall Marshall had 13 assists. Andre Young scored 13 points to lead the Tigers, who shot 38 percent. No. 10 Georgetown 63, Providence 53: Hollis Thompson and Jason Clark scored 13 points each and Georgetown shut down Providence's shooters for the second time this season. The Friars made just 14 of 54 field goals (25.9 percent). In the previous meeting Dec. 31, they hit only 13 attempts and shot 25.5 percent in a 49-40 loss. Providence was led by Vincent Council with 13 points. New Mexico 65, No. 11 Unlv 45: Drew Gordon scored a career-high 27 points and grabbed 20 rebounds to lead New Mexico to its seventh straight victory with a win over UNLV. It was the second win this week over a ranked team for the Lobos (22-4, 8-2 Mountain West), who beat No. 13 San Diego State 77-67 on Thursday. Anthony Marshall had 18 points to lead UNLV (22-6, 6-4), which lost for the third time in four games. No. 12 Marquette 79, Connecticut 64: Jae Crowder had 29 points and 12 rebounds to help Marquette beat UConn and remain in position for a double bye in next month's Big East tournament. Darius Johnson-Odom added 24 points for Marquette (22-5, 11-3 Big East), which won for the 10th time 11 games. Jeremy Lamb had 19 points to lead Connecticut (16-10, 6-8). Air Force 58, No. 13 San Diego St. 56: Michael Lyons scored 27 points and Air Force upset San Diego State when Xavier Thames' off-balance 3-point attempt fell short at the buzzer. The Falcons (13-11, 3-7 Mountain West) won for just the second time in 74 games against a Top 25 team. They also beat then-No. 22 UTEP on Feb. 15, 1992. Chase Tapley scored 17 points, and Tim Shelton had 13 points and 11 rebounds for SDSU. No. 14 Florida 98, Arkansas 68: Erving Walker scored a career-high 31 points and Florida ended Arkansas' perfect home record. The Gators (21-6, 9-3 Southeastern Conference) shot a season-high 58.3 percent (28 of 48) from the field, hitting 13 of 23 from 3-point range. Kenny Boynton had 25 points and Bradley Beal added 21 for the Gators. The Razorbacks (17-10, 5-7) were led by BJ Young's career-best 31 points.
