CHAMPS

PRESENTED BY COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Nik Stauskas scored 15 points and Derrick Walton III added 13 - including three critical free throws with 1:55 left - to power No. 15 Michigan to a 70-60 victory against No. 22 Ohio State on Tuesday night. The victory ended a nine-game losing skid in the last 11 years in Columbus for the Wolverines (18-6, 10-2 Big Ten), who came into the game tied for the top spot in the conference with Michigan State. Walton added 10 rebounds and six assists. Zak Irvin chipped in with 10 points. LaQuinton Ross had 24 points and Lenzelle Smith Jr. 13 for Ohio State (19-6, 6-6), which had a three-game winning streak snapped. The Buckeyes hadn't lost to their archrivals on their home court since a 61-50 setback on Jan. 15, 2003. WICHITA, Kan. -- Ron Baker scored 19 points, Cleanthony Early added 18 and fourth-ranked Wichita State overcame a sloppy start to beat Southern Illinois 78-67 on Tuesday night and remain unbeaten. Tekele Cotton and Darius Carter added 12 points apiece for the Shockers, who became the first team to start 26-0 since Memphis in 2008. Wichita State has five games standing in the way of becoming the first team since Saint Joseph's in 2004 to have a perfect regular season. The Hawks didn't lose that year until the Atlantic 10 tournament. Wichita State (13-0 Missouri Valley Conference) certainly had its hands full, especially with Southern Illinois guard Anthony Beane. He scored 25 points, getting to the rim at will until late in the game, when the Shockers finally started to double- and triple-team him. LARAMIE, Wyo. -- Riley Grabau scored 17 points, Larry Nance Jr. had 14 and Wyoming beat No. 5 San Diego State 68-62 on Tuesday night to end the Aztecs' 20-game winning streak. The victory by Wyoming (15-9, 6-5 Mountain West Conference) came almost 16 years to the day after the Cowboys last beat a top-5 team at home, a 62-56 win against No. 5 Utah. Fans stormed the court after the final buzzer, mobbing Wyoming players. Dwayne Polee II led San Diego State with 15 points, followed by Xavier Thames with 13. The Aztecs (21-2, 10-1) won 20 in row after losing to Arizona in their second game of the season. Their streak tied the school mark set by the 2010-11 team, which finished a school-record 34-3 after reaching the Sweet Sixteen for the first time in school history. KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Scottie Wilbekin had 21 points and six assists, and No. 3 Florida stepped up its defense in the second half to outlast Tennessee 67-58 Tuesday night for its 16th consecutive victory. Michael Frazier II added 11 points to help the Gators (22-2, 11-0 SEC) beat Tennessee in Knoxville for just the second time in their past nine attempts. Frazier and Wilbekin both made key 3-pointers down the stretch to put the game out of reach. Jarnell Stokes had 20 points and 11 rebounds for Tennessee (15-9, 6-5), which was seeking a victory against a highly ranked opponent to boost its NCAA tournament hopes. Jordan McRae had 17 points and Josh Richardson 13. AUSTIN, Texas -- Oklahoma State came to Texas on a four-game losing streak made worse by the suspension of star guard Marcus Smart. The No. 19 Longhorns were in no mood to show them any mercy. Javan Felix scored 27 points, making six of Texas' 11 3-pointers, and the Longhorns rolled to an easy 87-68 win Tuesday behind a dominant first half. Felix, who missed a game with a concussion a week ago and was just a 30 percent shooter from long range on the season, was 6 of 8 on 3-pointer and fell onepoint shy of his career high.
