Andre Walker tied the program record with nine 3-pointers and finished with a career-high 35 points, Jarred Jones and Cam Gregory each had a double-double and Loyola (Md.) defeated Boston University, 77-69, Monday night at Baltimore, to end the Terriers’ winning streak at five.

Eric Fanning had 27 points and a season-high 13 rebounds and Nick Havener scored a season-high 15 points for the Terriers (10-8), who lost their first game in the Patriot League to fall to 5-1.

BU, now just 2-7 on the road, rallied behind Kyle Foreman’s layup, which capped an 18-5 run that pulled the Terriers within 7, and Fanning’s 3-point play with 56 seconds left that cut their deficit to 68-62. Havener converted a 3-point play for the Terriers to make it 69-65, but Walker and Jones combined to make 8 of 8 foul shots to seal it for Loyola (9-8, 3-3 Patriot).

Walker made 9 of 12 from 3-point range, 8 of 9 from the free-throw line, and now has 1,006 career points. He is the 35th Loyola player to score at least 1,000 points.

Gregory had 15 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 steals and Jones added 14 points, 10 boards, a career-high 8 assists, and 4 steals for Loyola (9-8, 3-3 Patriot League).

Harvard 70, Bryant 65 — At Smithfield, R.I., Chris Lewis had 14 points on 6-for-7 shooting, Bryce Aiken scored 14 more, and the Crimson won their third straight.

Leading by 14 at the break, Harvard (9-5) had to scramble in the second half as Bryant chipped away. The Bulldogs (5-13) cut the margin to single digits on back-to-back 3-pointers from Bosko Kostur to make it 59-54, and later pulled into striking distance with a pair of free throws from Ikenna Ndugba to trail 66-65 with 19 seconds left.

But the Crimson dug in, with Siyani Chambers and Lewis each going 2 for 2 at the free throw line to clinch the win.

Chambers and Seth Towns finished with 13 points each for Harvard, which forced 18 turnovers.

Sabastian Townes led Bryant with 17 points, Kostur finished with 16 points, and Ndugba had 14. The Bulldogs have lost three of their last four games.

N. Carolina 85, Syracuse 68 — Hall of Fame coach Roy Williams earned his 800th career victory when Isaiah Hicks scored 20 points to lead the ninth-ranked Tar Heels.

Kennedy Meeks added 15 points and 12 rebounds for host North Carolina (17-3, 5-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), which shot 52 percent and dominated the boards. UNC never trailed after the game’s opening possession, led 42-30 at halftime, and then stayed a step ahead of the hot-shooting Orange after the break.

Syracuse (11-8, 3-3) got as close as 3 early in the second half, but never pushed ahead.

The Tar Heels ultimately ran off a 7-0 flurry in the final five minutes to stretch the lead back out to 15.

The win made Williams just the ninth Division 1 coach to reach 800 wins.

Tyler Lydon scored 26 points for the Orange.

Villanova 76, Seton Hall 46 — Kris Jenkins scored 16 points and Jalen Brunson added 13 to lead the No. 1 Wildcats at Villanova, Pa.

The Wildcats (18-1, 6-1 Big East) looked every bit like a team that could win back-to-back national championships in their first game back at No. 1 in the AP Top 25 poll following a one-week hiatus.

Villanova fell from the top spot to third in the poll following a Jan. 4 loss at Butler.

But wins over Marquette and Xavier vaulted the Wildcats over Kansas and back into the top spot.

Led by four 3-pointers from Jenkins, the Wildcats set a school record with 47 straight wins at the Pavilion. Under coach Jay Wright, Villanova has been nearly unbeatable at home for most of the last 10 years.

Seton Hall (12-6, 2-4) was just the latest to go down in front of the 177th straight sellout crowd.

Villanova’s rare blemish on its national championship season was losing to the Pirates in the Big East Tournament title game.

Creighton 72, Xavier 67 — Cole Huff got a pivotal rebound and made a pair of free throws with 16.7 seconds left, and No. 7 Creighton wasted an 11-point lead before rallying at Cincinnati to give the Bluejays the best start in their history.

Creighton (18-1, 5-1 Big East) scored the final 6 points after No. 22 Xavier (13-5, 3-3) pulled ahead, 67-66.

The Bluejays have won five straight since an 80-70 home loss to No. 1 Villanova on Dec. 31.

Creighton suffered a significant setback when point guard Maurice Watson Jr. — the national leader with 8.8 assists per game — hurt his left knee when he hit the court hard after scoring on a layup in the first half. He was on crutches for the second half.

Xavier had won 15 straight at home — including nine this season — but couldn’t pull it out. The Musketeers have lost three in a row — all against ranked teams — for the first time since the 2013-14 season.

Butler 88, Marquette 80 — Kelan Martin scored 22 points and the No. 13 Bulldogs rallied from an 18-point deficit, surging in the second half at Indianapolis.

Butler trailed by 16 at halftime, but outscored Marquette 38-18 in the next 11 minutes to take the lead. The Bulldogs (16-3, 5-2 Big East) put up 63 points in the second half.

Kamar Baldwin had 18 points and Martin added seven rebounds for the Bulldogs.

Markus Howard scored 26 points for Marquette (12-6, 3-3).

The Bulldogs won their 14th in a row at Hinkle Fieldhouse. They made just 11 of 30 shots in the first half, but hit 19 of 27 after the break.

Vermont 71, New Hampshire 59 — At Durham, N.H., Trae Bell-Haynes made 8 of 10 shots and scored 22 points to help the Catamounts win their seventh straight.

It was Bell-Haynes’s second straight 20-plus outing after going 5 of 12 for 20 points in a nine-point win versus Maryland-Baltimore County.

New Hampshire cut it to single digits (64-57) after a 3-pointer from Daniel Dion with 3:15 to go but couldn’t get any closer as Kurt Steidl made a basket on Vermont’s next possession.

Anthony Lamb added 13 points for Vermont (15-5, 5-0 America East) and Steidl finished with 12. The three Catamounts in double figures combined to only miss seven of their 25 field-goal attempts. Vermont was 29-for-53 shooting overall (54.7 percent).

Vermont led 35-22 at halftime after holding New Hampshire to just eight made field goals.

Dion led New Hampshire (11-7, 2-2) with 21 points and Tanner Leissner added 20. Iba Camara had 11 points and nine rebounds.

Hartford 54, Maine 44 —At West Hartford, Conn., Jalen Ross scored 19 points, Jason Dunne added 10, and the Hawks snapped a five-game losing skid.

Ross, who ranks second in the America East Conference with 20.9 points per game, had 11 points in Hartford’s 33-29 first half to finish in double figures for the 33rd straight game. Dunne made a 3-pointer on the first possession of the game and Hartford never trailed.

Hartford has won 11 of the last 14 against the Black Bears.

Hassan Attia grabbed double-digit rebounds (11) for the first time in his career for Hartford (6-13, 1-3).

Vincent Eze had 13 points and nine rebounds for Maine (5-15, 1-4). Wesley Myers, averaging 26.8 points in conference play, added 12 points on 4-of-17 shooting.

Maine was held to 32.1 percent shooting and lost its ninth game in the last 10.

Stony Brook 86, UMass-Lowell 75 — Tyrell Sturdivant was 10 of 12 from the field, 8 for 10 at the line and scored a career-high 28 points to help visiting Stony Brook remain unbeaten in league play.

Sturdivant scored 7 straight Stony Brook points in the second half for a 75-68 lead with 4:37 left and his assist to Lucas Woodhouse on their next possession made it 78-70. UMass-Lowell didn’t score again until the final minute to get within 11.

Stony Brook (9-8, 4-0 America East) won its fifth straight.

Woodhouse made three of Stony Brook’s 11 3-pointers and had 17 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. Roland Nyama added 10 points.

Tyler Livingston hit five 3-pointers and scored 23 points for UMass-Lowell (8-11, 3-2), which was 11 of 24 (45.8 percent) from distance. Jahad Thomas had 18 points and 15 rebounds, and Ryan Jones chipped in 16 points.
