The Milwaukee Bucks beat the Jazz on the road Monday night 125-110. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard each scored 35 points and Giannis grabbed 18 rebounds to lead the way. Khris Middleton scored 22 off the bench.
The Bucks improved to 26-18 in the Eastern Conference. The Jazz dropped to 10-34 in the Western Conference.
The Bucks continue their west coast swing tonight at Portland against the Trail Blazers. Tipoff is at 9:00 CT.
Auburn keeps winning games that come down to the wire. It’s kept them on top of the AP Top 25, too.
The Tigers were the unanimous choice atop the men’s college basketball poll for the second consecutive week Monday, getting all 62 votes from the national media panel. Their place at No. 1 was solidified when Miles Kelly hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 30 seconds left to propel Auburn to a 53-51 victory over then-No. 6 Tennessee over the weekend.
The Tigers led a top five that was unchanged from the previous week. Duke remained No. 2 followed by Iowa State, Alabama and Florida, which rallied to beat South Carolina early in the week before a resounding victory over Georgia.
Houston climbed one spot to No. 6 thanks to a rout of Utah and a frantic, double-overtime win at Kansas.
Michigan State moved up one spot to No. 7 and was followed by the Vols, who balanced out their close loss to Auburn by beating No. 14 Mississippi State. Marquette and Purdue — which beat then-No. 21 Michigan — rounded out the top 10. Kansas moved up one spot to No. 11 despite the loss to the Cougars, while Kentucky fell three spots to No. 12 after losing to Vanderbilt. Texas A&M and Mississippi State were next after each went 1-1 on the week, and St. John’s leapt five spots to No. 15 after beating Xavier in overtime, matching the best ranking for the Red Storm since Dec. 29, 2014.
Oregon was No. 16 and followed by Wisconsin, Illinois, Memphis and Missouri. Louisville continued its climb, now up to No. 21, and was followed by Texas Tech, which entered the poll after two wins last week. Mississippi fell to No. 23, Vanderbilt broke into the poll at No. 24 and two-time defending national champ UConn fell to No. 25 after its loss to Xavier.
Caleb Love hit a game-tying heave from beyond half court at the end of regulation — in what he later called the “best moment of my life” — and made two more 3-pointers in overtime, finishing with 22 points and lifting Arizona to an 86-75 win over No. 3 Iowa State on Monday night.
The Cyclones (17-3, 7-2 Big 12) appeared to be in control when Joshua Jefferson hit one of two free throws with 2.2 seconds remaining, but they left too much time on the clock.
The newest member of the Brewers Wall of Honor was announced Monday.
Former Brewers closer John Axford is set to join the prestigious wall during the 2025 season. Officials say details of the ceremony will be released at a later date.
The Brewers Wall of Honor is a permanent exhibit that honors players, coaches and executives who meet criteria based on career accomplishments and service to the organization.
Axford will have a bronze plaque affixed to the exterior of the American Family Field, commemorating his contribution to the Milwaukee Brewers franchise. Axford spent two stints over six seasons with the Brewers (2009-13, 2021). He ranks third in franchise history in saves (106) and holds the franchise single-season records in saves (46) and consecutive saves (43), both of which were set during his 2011 campaign. Axford recorded 49 consecutive saves between the 2011 and 2012 seasons — a franchise record and the sixth-longest run-in Major-League Baseball history.
During the 2011 season, Axford posted a 1.95 ERA with 86 strikeouts in 74 relief appearances. That year, he was named the 2011 National League Rolaids Relief Man of the Year. He helped the Brewers reach the 2011 National League Championship Series by posting a 1.29 ERA with 3 saves and 6 appearances in the postseason.
