College basketball | Dead-eye Indiana drops Penn St.

Jordan Hulls hit seven of No. 12 Indiana?s season-high 16 3-pointers, and the Hoosiers snapped a 16-game Big Ten road losing streak with an 88-82 victory over Penn State on Sunday.

Hulls, a 6-foot guard, finished with 28 points for Indiana (15-1, 3-1).

Down eight points with 1:22 to go, the Nittany Lions (9-8, 1-3) forced two straight turnovers to highlight a late run to get within 84-82 with 21 seconds left on two free throws by Matt Glover.

But Matt Roth hit two foul shots and Penn State missed a last-gasp 3.

Cheered on by a healthy sprinkling of fans wearing Indiana red, the Hoosiers won a regular-season road conference game for the first time since a 67-61 win at Penn State on Jan. 21, 2010.

(16) MICHIGAN 59, (18) WISCONSIN 41 -- Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 17 points, and Wolverines freshman Trey Burke outplayed the Badgers? Jordan Taylor for most of the game as host Michigan downed Wisconsin.

Burke scored 14 points for the Wolverines (13-3, 3-1 Big Ten), who snapped a 10-game losing streak against the Badgers. Taylor, Wisconsin?s star point guard, was held to 12 points, a majority of which came after Michigan had taken control of the game.

The Badgers (12-5, 1-3) have lost three straight.
