Georgia Tech called off its game against Virginia in Atlanta last night because of a leaking roof at Alexander Memorial Coliseum.

Yellow Jackets Athletic Director Dan Radakovich had not yet decided if the teams could reschedule their ACC matchup.

With the basketball floor wet in the lane near Georgia Tech's bench, officials postponed the tip-off for 20 minutes. By 7:30 p.m., however, the game was postponed indefinitely because the maintenance crew couldn't guarantee the leaks would stop.

Weather forecasts called for between two and three inches of rain in metropolitan Atlanta.

The Yellow Jackets (11-13, 4-6) have lost three straight games and four of five. Virginia (12-12, 2-9) is coming off a five-point win Sunday at Boston College that stopped a seven-game losing streak.

¿ UCLA 84, OREGON ST. 49: In Los Angeles, Russell Westbrook scored 17 points, Darren Collison had 14 points and nine assists and the No. 6 Bruins increased their lead in the Pacific-10 to one game.

Kevin Love had 11 points and nine rebounds, just missing his 16th double-double for UCLA (23-3, 11-2), which gained on idle Stanford.

Josh Tarver scored 10 points for the Beavers (6-20, 0-14), who lost their 16th in a row overall and seventh straight to the Bruins.

¿ XAVIER 75, DUQUESNE 48: In Cincinnati, Derrick Brown and C.J. Anderson had double-doubles in a balanced offense that hardly missed injured point guard Drew Lavender, and the No. 10 Musketeers (23-4, 11-1 Atlantic 10) rolled to their ninth straight win, beating the Dukes (16-9, 6-6).

¿ WASHINGTON STATE 59, ARIZONA STATE 47: Derrick Low scored 15 points and the No. 17 Cougars relied on the Pac-10's best defense to shut down the Sun Devils in Pullman, Wash.

Aron Baynes and Taylor Rochestie both had 10 points and six rebounds for Washington State (21-5, 9-5), which won its fourth straight, the longest current streak in the conference.

Freshman James Harden had 10 points for Arizona State (16-9, 6-7), which was held 21 points below its season average.

¿ NOTRE DAME 82, PITTSBURGH 70: Luke Harangody had 23 points and 12 rebounds, Tory Jackson added 16 points and 13 rebounds and the No. 21 Fighting Irish overcame an 11-point deficit in the second half to beat the Panthers in South Bend, Ind.

Notre Dame trailed 51-40 when Sam Young hit a 14-foot jumper with just less than 14 minutes left. But the Fighting Irish (20-5, 10-3 Big East) responded with a 21-10 run, dropping Pitt to 19-7, 7-6.
