Win over Illinois may move Michigan to No. 1 ASSOCIATED PRESS,
Trey Burke scored 19 points and No. 2 Michigan never trailed after the opening minutes of a 74-60 win Sunday over Illinois that could push the Wolverines to No. 1 in the nation for the first time since the 1992-93 season.
Duke's lopsided loss to Miami earlier in the week opened the door for a new No. 1 when the AP poll comes out Monday -- and Michigan put itself in position to take the top spot.
Glenn Robinson III scored 14 points for the Wolverines (19-1, 6-1 Big Ten). Nik Stauskas and Tim Hardaway Jr. added 12 each.
Brandon Paul led Illinois (15-6, 2-5) with 15 points but had five of Illinois' 15 costly turnovers.
Michigan's Jordan Morgan did not return after leaving early with an apparent ankle injury.
Indiana 75, Michigan State 70: Victor Oladipo finished with 21 points, seven rebounds and six steals, leading No. 7 Indiana to a 75-70 victory over No. 13 Michigan State on Sunday.
The Hoosiers (18-2, 6-1 Big Ten) have won three straight overall and two in a row in this series.
Michigan State (17-4, 6-2) was led by Gary Harris with 21 points and Adreian Payne who had 18 points and doubled his season total by making three 3-pointers.
Miami 71, Florida State 47: Trey McKinney Jones scored 15 points Sunday for the Miami Hurricanes, and the Atlantic Coast Conference leaders won their seventh game in a row by beating Florida State, 71-47.
Miami (15-3, 6-0) is off to its best start in the conference, alone atop the standings, and is 9-0 at home. Florida State (11-8, 3-3) fell to 0-3 this season against ranked teams.
Creighton 81, S. Illinois 51: Doug McDermott had 21 points and 10 rebounds and the No. 17 Blue Jays shot 63 percent, bouncing back from a pair of road losses with an easy victory at struggling Southern Illinois.
