NO.
5 MICHIGAN 69, INDIANA 46
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Ignas
Brazdeikis scored 20 points and Zavier
Simpson added 12 as No. 5 Michigan started fast and pulled away
for a 69-46 victory at Indiana on Friday night.
The Wolverines (18-1, 7-1 Big Ten) have won two straight
overall since their first loss of the season. They've won six straight against
the Hoosiers.
Juwan Morgan finished
with 16 points and 12 rebounds for Indiana. Romeo
Langford had nine points on a miserable night for the Hoosiers
(12-7, 3-5), who have lost six straight overall, five in a row against
conference foes and wound up with a season-low point total.
And the leagues' top scoring defense took full advantage
of Indiana's horrendous start.
The Wolverines scored the first 17 points, forced Indiana
into 10 straight misses and didn't give up a basket until Aljami Durham's
reverse layup with 10:16 left.
Indiana never recovered -- and things didn't get much
better on a night public address announcer Chuck Crabb counted down the seconds
on each possession at the south end of Assembly Hall because the shot clock was
broken.
NO.
14 BUFFALO 88, KENT STATE 79
KENT, Ohio -- CJ Massinburg and Nick Perkins scored
20 points apiece as No. 14 Buffalo pulled away in the final minutes and avoided
dropping its second Mid-American Conference game in four days with a win over
Kent State.
The Bulls (18-2, 6-1 MAC) showed their experience and
poise down the stretch to hold off the upset-minded Golden Flashes (15-5, 4-3),
who hosted their first ranked opponent since 1989.
Clinging to a 78-75 lead, Buffalo, which was beaten at
Northern Illinois on Tuesday, forced Kent State into three straight turnovers
and converted each time to open some breathing room.
Jaylin Walker scored
21 points and Philip
Whittington 18 and 13 rebounds to pace the Golden Flashes.
