NU snaps 20-game Big Ten losing streak

Craig Moore made four 3-pointers in the first 3½ minutes and connected on another 3 that gave Northwestern the lead with a minute left, lifting the Wildcats over Michigan 62-60 Tuesday night in Ann Arbor, Mich., for their first Big Ten victory in more than a year.

Northwestern (8-18, 1-14) had lost 20 straight conference games, including the Big Ten tournament, after beating Penn State on Feb. 10, 2007.

Manny Harris scored 17, Anthony Wright had 13 points and Ekpe Udoh added 10 for the Wolverines (9-19, 5-11).

The Wolverines, who had won four of their last five, tied the game with 5:46 left for the first time since it was scoreless only to fall behind 56-50.

Harris' free throws with 1:15 left gave Michigan its first lead.

Moore answered with a 3-pointer -- his career-high eighth -- and Harris turned the ball over on the ensuing possession. Wright missed a jumper that would've tied the game with five seconds left, then the Wildcats could be heard screaming with joy at the sparsely attended game.

Northwestern's Kevin Coble scored 16 and Ivan Peljusic had 13 points.

Indiana 72, Ohio St. 69: Armon Bassett scored 23 points and Eric Gordon added 17 to lead 12th-ranked Indiana (24-4, 13-2 Big Ten) past Ohio State (17-11, 8-7) for Dan Dakich's first coaching victory at Assembly Hall.

S. Illinois 71, Bradley 60: Randal Falker scored 17 points to lead Southern Illinois to a win over host Bradley. Matt Shaw added 14 points and 9 rebounds, and Bryan Mullins scored 13 points for Southern Illinois (17-12, 11-6 Missouri Valley).

The Braves (17-13, 9-8) played without point guard Daniel Ruffin, who was suspended indefinitely after being arrested Saturday on a misdemeanor domestic battery charge.
