MEN

No. 1 Ohio State 62, Michigan 53

Jared Sullinger hammered away inside for 19 points and 15 rebounds and Ohio State came back from a sluggish half to beat Michigan Thursday night, helping the Buckeyes open with 23 wins for the second time in school history.

William Buford added 13 points as Ohio State (23-0, 10-0 Big Ten) extended its conference lead to three games.

Tim Hardaway Jr. had 15 points, Darius Morris 12 and Jordan Morgan 10 for Michigan (13-9, 3-6), which fell to 1-22 all-time against No. 1s.

The Wolverines led 26-23 at the half and by five early in the second half before Ohio State continually turned to Sullinger inside to force fouls or muscle his way in for baskets.

Ohio State was 15 of 25 at the line to Michigan's 1 of 4.

The teams had met just 22 days earlier, with the Buckeyes holding on at the end for a 68-64 win.

The Buckeyes extended several streaks. First, they have their second 23-0 start in the program's 112 years, exceeded only by the 27-0 run by the Jerry Lucas-led team of 1960-61. In addition, they won their 14th straight Big Ten game while moving to 64-4 all-time when ranked No. 1. They're 10-0 in the conference for the first time since 1961-62.

Morris was coming off only the third triple-double ever at Michigan. He had 12 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in an 87-73 win over Iowa on Sunday.

Down 30-24 after a bucket inside by Morgan with 17:35 left, the Buckeyes muscled the ball inside to take over.

Evidence of the physicality: The first seven fouls of the second half were called against Michigan. The Buckeyes were in the bonus with 14:20 left.

No. 9 Notre Dame 83, DePaul 58

Ben Hansbrough scored 24 points and Notre Dame used runs at the end of the first half and beginning of the second to rout DePaul, running the Irish's winning streak to four games.

Notre Dame (18-4, 7-3) was coming off a nine-day layoff following its upset win at Pittsburgh on Jan. 24. It didn't take long for the rust - if there was much at all - to go away.

DePaul, meanwhile, suffered its 22nd straight loss in the Big East, counting one league tournament game. The Blue Demons (6-15, 0-8) have also dropped 25 straight to ranked opponents.

Scott Martin added 15 points and Tim Abromatis 13 for the Irish. Freshman Brandon Young led DePaul with 16. The Blue Demons' leading scorer Cleveland Melvin, averaging 14.5, managed just four.

Hansbrough, who was 5-for-8 on 3-pointers, hit a pair early in the second half as the Irish expanded a 37-24 halftime lead quickly into a 48-29 lead with less than four minutes in the half. At the end of the 15-5 run, Notre Dame was up 52-29 as the talent disparity between the two old rivals became even more apparent.

Hansbrough, who sparked the win over Pitt with 19 points, had a flying highlight-reel, one-handed dunk after driving through the lane and finished the opening half with 11 points. He was the catalyst in the Irish's closing run that gave them a 37-24 halftime lead.

After Hansbrough had his shot blocked from behind, he came up with the ball and fed Carleton Scott for a dunk. Moments later Hansbrough hit a free throw and then found Eric Atkins, who was open for a 3-pointer from the corner to give the Irish a 30-20 lead late in the half.

Tyrone Nash then tracked down a loose ball and sank a 3-pointer just as the shot clock was expiring to put the Irish up 33-22.

Then it was Hansbrough hitting a 3-pointer to cap the 14-2 spurt and the Irish were rolling at 36-22 with just over two minutes remaining.

Hansbrough momentarily hit his leg when he went down to retrieve a ball early in the second half, but shook that off quickly and hit a 3-pointer, putting the Irish up 40-24.

Abromaitis, in a scoring slump with only eight points in the previous two games, hit a 3-pointer and Scott, who missed two early dunks in the second half, had two free throws to make it 45-29. Hansbrough then found the range again from beyond the 3-point line and the Irish were sailing by 18 before four minutes had expired in the second half.

DePaul, one of the nation's poorest 3-point shooting teams (27 percent entering the game), made 3 of 12 in the first half and finished the game 9-for-25. The Blue Demons shot just 35 percent overall.

Oregon State 68, No. 20 Washington 56

Jared Cunningham had 19 points and the Oregon State Beavers snapped a three-game losing streak with a upset victory over Washington.

Scott Suggs had a career-high 18 points, including five 3-pointers for Washington (15-6, 7-3 Pac-10) which lost its second straight.

Oregon State (9-12, 4-6) took a 58-52 lead on Omari Johnson's layup off an offensive rebound. After Isaiah Thomas made 2 of 3 free throws for the Huskies, Calvin Haynes made one for the Beavers.

Haynes' layup and foul shot with 1:48 left extended it to 62-54 and put the Gill Coliseum crowd on its feet. The Beavers made free throws the rest of the way to put it away, snapping an eight-game winning streak for Washington in the series between the two teams.

No. 21 Arizona 78, Stanford 69

Derrick Williams shrugged off pain in his right pinky to score 21 points and grab eight rebounds, and Arizona beat Stanford for its fourth straight victory.

The sophomore star had part of his shooting hand buried in tape and gauze to protect his pinky after it was bent backward against UCLA last week and still put together a complete performance. Lamont Jones added 15 points, and Jesse Perry scored 12 to help the Wildcats (19-4, 8-3) overtake Washington for the Pac-10 lead after the Huskies lost to Oregon State earlier in the night.

WOMEN

No. 3 Duke 82, No. 18 Miami 58

Freshman Haley Peters scored 15 points and Duke bounced back from its first loss by routing Miami.

Karima Christmas added 14 points, while freshman Richa Jackson had a season-high 13 in her first start for the Blue Devils (21-1, 7-0 Atlantic Coast Conference).

They shot nearly 55 percent, forced 20 turnovers and overcame a rough night from their best player to avoid their first losing streak since 2007-08.

Riquna Williams, the ACC's leading scorer, finished with 27 points on 8-of-25 shooting for Miami (20-3, 6-2), which shot 32 percent.

The Blue Devils, who suffered a 36-point loss to No. 2 Connecticut three nights earlier, improved to 6-1 against Top 25 opponents, ran their record to 8-0 all-time against Miami and won their 20th straight at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

No. 4 Stanford 72, Arizona State 54

Kayla Pedersen had 15 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, and Stanford pulled away in the second half for its 47th straight Pac-10 win, one shy of the all-time record.

Jeanette Pohlen had 19 points and Nnemkadi Ogwumike added 17 for the Cardinal (19-2, 10-0), who can tie their own conference record, set from 1995-98, against Arizona on Saturday.

No. 12 Maryland 56, No. 24 Georgia Tech 53

Kim Rogers hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give No. 12 Maryland the win in a game interrupted by a power outage with just over 2 minutes to play.

Rogers' winning shot from the baseline came on an inbounds play with 1.2 seconds left after Georgia Tech had tied the game on a foul shot by Sasha Goodlett with 44.4 seconds remaining.

Lynetta Kizer had 19 points and Alyssa Thomas 17 for Maryland (19-3, 5-2 ACC).

Tyaunna Marshall scored 14 points and Alex Montgomery had 13 points and 15 rebounds for Georgia Tech (18-7, 6-3).

No. 17 Kentucky 69, Auburn 38

Victoria Dunlap scored 10 points and had 10 rebounds to eclipse 1,000 in her career for Kentucky.

Dunlap also had five assists for the Wildcats (18-4, 7-2 Southeastern Conference) and now sits in second place on the school's all-time rebound list. Kentucky used an early 19-2 run to take control and went ahead by as many as 17 in the first half.

Purdue 60, No. 20 Iowa 41

Brittany Rayburn scored 23 points to lead Purdue to its first win over a ranked team in more than a year.

Courtney Moses had 12 points, nine rebounds and six assists for the Boilermakers (16-7, 6-4 Big Ten), who won for the fifth time in six games overall.

Purdue was 0-3 against ranked teams coming in, and its last victory over a Top 25 squad came on Jan. 28, 2010 at Penn State.

No. 21 Wisc.-G. Bay 87, Cleveland St. 63

Kayla Tetschlag scored 15 of her 25 points in the first half and to help Wisconsin-Green Bay win its 12th straight game.

Celeste Hoewisch had 17 points, seven assists and five rebounds, Julie Wojta finished with 13 points and eight rebounds, and reserve Lydia Bauer scored 16 for Green Bay (21-1, 10-0 Horizon League), which notched its 18th straight regular-season conference victory.
