Unranked Villanova blows out No. 2 Kansas\nPHILADELPHIA -- Undefeated Kansas never stood a chance once Allen Ray, Curtis Sumpter and the rest of the spirited Villanova Wildcats got rolling.\nSumpter sank five 3-pointers and scored 25 points, Ray made four 3s and scored 27 and Villanova led by as many as 32 points in a stunning 83-62 victory over No. 2 Kansas on Saturday.\n"We had some tough breaks this season, but guys stuck with it everyday," Sumpter said.\nThe Wildcat fans -- who braved the first snowstorm in Philly this year -- chanted "Overrated!" early in this one and counted down the final minutes before storming the 76ers' home court in celebration.

Agassi overcomes Johannson's record ace-a-thon\nMELBOURNE, Australia -- Andre Agassi overcame a record number of aces from Joachim Johannson on Sunday and set up an Australian Open quarterfinal against defending champion and top-ranked Roger Federer.\nAgassi, an eight-time Grand Slam winner and four-time champion in Melbourne, produced one of his great performances to defeat the 6-foot-6 Johansson, who slammed 51 aces in their 2-hour, 38-minute fourth-round match.\nOne of the best returners of serves, the 34-year-old Agassi endured Johansson's serves, breaking the Swede three times to win 6-7 (4), 7-6 (5), 7-6 (3), 6-4.\nAgassi dropped his own serve twice, at the start of the first and fourth sets, and made only 13 unforced errors in the match -- none in the first set.\n"It was a tough day," said Agassi. The 11th-seeded Johansson was pushing the limits on almost every shot. He mixed 66 unforced errors with a remarkable 96 winners, including his aces and service winners.
