ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Elliot Cadeau scored 10 of his 19 points in the opening minutes of the first half and Yaxel Lendeborg had 13 of 15 points in the second half, leading No. 3 Michigan to an 86-72 win over Indiana on Tuesday night.
The Wolverines (17-1, 7-1 Big Ten) led by 17 points midway through the first half and by 25 points in the second half of a game that wasn’t in doubt after a one-sided start.
The Hoosiers (12-7, 3-5) began by missing 14 of 15 shots and finished with a fourth straight loss under first-year coach Darian DeVries.
Indiana’s Tucker DeVries scored 15, Nick Dorn had 14 points, Sam Alexis and Reed Bailey scored 11 points apiece.
NO. 9 IOWA STATE 87, UCF 57
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Joshua Jefferson had 17 points, 10 rebounds and a career-high 12 assists for his second triple-double of the season as Iowa State defeated UCF.
Milan Momcilovic scored 20 points as the Cyclones (17-2, 4-2 Big 12), coming off their first losses of the season, bounced back in their return home, building a 44-26 halftime lead and pulling away in the second half.
Jefferson became the second NCAA Division I player this season with more than one triple-double. Jefferson’s other triple-double was in an 80-59 win over West Virginia on Jan. 2.
Killyan Toure and Jamarion Batemon each had 12 points and Blake Buchanan added 11 for the Cyclones.
Iowa State forced 19 turnover from the Knights (14-4, 3-3).

NO. 16 FLORIDA 79, LSU 61
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Rueben Chinyelu scored 15 points and tied his career high with 21 rebounds, becoming the first Florida player in two decades with four consecutive double-doubles, and the Gators handled LSU for their fifth straight victory.
Chinyelu matched David Lee’s double-double streak from 2005 as Florida (14-5, 5-1 Southeastern Conference) extended its home winning streak to 16.
It was Chinyelu’s second 20-plus-board game of the season, making him the third player in school history to accomplish the feat.
Urban Klavzar hit a career-high five 3-pointers and scored 18 points for Florida. Alex Condon and Boogie Fland added 10 points apiece.
LSU leading scorer Dedan Thomas Jr. returned from a five-game absence and looked rusty. He missed his first six shots after missing nearly three weeks with a leg injury. He finished with two points, two rebounds and three assists.
NC STATE 80, NO. 18 CLEMSON 76 OT
CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Ven-Allen Lubin scored 22 points and Derrion Williams’ 3-pointer with 2:40 left in overtime put N.C. State ahead to stay as the Wolfpack ended Clemson’s nine-game win streak.
Williams finished with 17 points and Quadir Copeland 16 for N.C. State.
The Wolfpack (13-6, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) were up 11 points late in the first half and were still ahead 58-51 with 10 minutes to play when the Tigers (16-4, 6-1) closed with an 18-11 run to force the extra period.
But once Williams’ basket went in, the Tigers couldn’t rally again. Lubin followed with a basket after Williams and Clemson got no closer than three the rest of the way.
Both teams had chances to win in regulation. Dillon Hunter missed an open 3-pointer with 33 seconds left for Clemson while Williams came up short on a midrange jumper. Hunter’s long, desperation 3 hit off the backboard as the buzzer sounded.
RJ Godfrey led Clemson with 16 points.
NO. 24 SAINT LOUIS 81, DUQUESNE 77
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Robbie Avila, Dion Brown and Trey Green each scored 14 points as Saint Louis held off a frantic late rally by Duquesne.
The Billikens (18-1, 6-0 Atlantic 10) extended their winning streak to 12 despite blowing most of a 17-point second-half lead. Saint Louis can tie the best start in the program’s 110-year history set by the 1993-94 squad with a win Friday at St. Bonaventure.
A day after entering the AP Top 25 for the first time in five years, the balanced Billikens fended off the Dukes (10-9, 2-4) behind a deep bench and a relentless pace.
The only team in the country with six players averaging at least 10 points had five players in double figures against the Dukes. Brady Dunlap chipped in 11 points, including a pair of free throws with 26 seconds left after Duquesne had moved within one.
Jimmie Williams, who scored a career-high 28 points for Duquesne, missed a contested 3-pointer on the Dukes’ ensuing possession. Brown grabbed the rebound and made one of two at the line to seal it.
NO. 25 MIAMI (OH) 107, KENT STATE 101, OT
KENT, Ohio, (AP) — Peter Suder scored 27 points, Elan Elmer added 25 and Miami (Ohio) remained unbeaten, rallying past Kent State in overtime before a standing-room-only crowd at Memorial Athletic and Convocation Center.
Ranked for the first time since 1999, the RedHawks had to rally in the final minute to force overtime. Miami is off to the best start in Mid-American Conference history at 20-0 overall and 8-0 in conference play.
It was also the 700th MAC win for the RedHawks.
Miami, top-ranked Arizona and No. 7 Nebraska are the lone unbeaten teams in Division I.
Rob Whaley Jr. had season highs of 27 points and 14 rebounds while Cian Medley scored 23 for the Golden Flashes (14-5, 5-2 MAC).
