COLLEGE PARK, Md: Syracuse blew most of a 12-point lead in the last eight minutes and used one final defensive stop to squeeze past Maryland, 57-55, on Monday night here, and end a two-game losing streak.

It was another close call for the Orange (26-2, 13-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who dropped to No. 4 in the latest AP poll.

Syracuse’s previous four games were decided by a total of 12 points. The Orange led, 49-37, with 7:54 left, but allowed Maryland to close to 56-55 with 47 seconds remaining.

After C.J. Fair missed a jumper for the Orange, Baye Moussa Keita blocked a driving layup by Nick Faust to keep Syracuse in front. Trevor Cooney was fouled and made one of two free throws with four seconds to go.

No. 5 Kansas 83, Oklahoma 75: At Lawrence, Kansas, Naadir Tharpe had 19 points to lead five Kansas players in double figures, and the Jayhawks wrapped up a share of their 10th consecutive Big 12 championship.

Wayne Selden and Andrew Wiggins added 15 points each, and Joel Embiid had 12 points and 13 rebounds for the Jayhawks (22-6, 13-2).

Oklahoma State 76 TCU 54: At Fort Worth, Texas, Marcus Smart scored 15 of his 17 points in the second half in his first road game since returning from a suspension for shoving a fan and Phil Forte matched his season high with 23 for Oklahoma State.

Wagner 67, Fairleigh Dickinson 64: At Teaneck, Latif Rivers scored 18 points and hit two late free throws to lift Wagner, which came back from a late seven-point deficit.

Fairleigh Dickinson (10-18, 6-8 NEC) was led by Scooter Gillette with 19 points and nine rebounds and Sidney Sanders Jr. had 15 points with nine assists.

Florida New NO. 1: The Florida Gators are taking their turn as the newest No. 1 in what coach Billy Donovan calls a revolving door atop the AP college basketball poll, their first time on top of the rankings since they repeated as national champions in 2007. The Gators (25-2) moved up one place Monday, replacing Syracuse. Wichita State (29-0) and Arizona (25-2) each moved up one place to second and third.

Portland St. 87 Eastern Washington 76: At Cheney, Washington, Kyle Richardson scored 22 points, on 8-of-10 shooting, and pulled in eight rebounds, pacing Portland State (13-12, 8-8 Big Sky) past Eastern Washington.

Eastern Washington (13-14, 8-8) shot 50.9 percent, but went just 4 of 15 from beyond the arc.
