(9) MICHIGAN 82, NEBRASKA 53: Jon Teske scored a career-high 22 points, and the host Wolverines (25-4, 14-4 Big Ten) easily rebounded from their loss to Michigan State by crushing the Cornhuskers (15-14, 5-13) .

The Wolverines were without Charles Matthews, out with a right ankle injury, but they raced to a 22-point halftime lead behind Teske and Iggy Brazdeikis. It was the last home game for Michigan, which finishes the regular season with trips to Maryland and Michigan State.

(24) WOFFORD 80, CHATTANOOGA 54: Fletcher Magee scored 18 points and the visiting Terriers (25-4, 17-0 Southern Conference) made a successful debut as an AP Top 25 team by trouncing the Mocs (12-18, 7-10) for their 16th consecutive victory.

Wofford, a private liberal arts college in Spartanburg, South Carolina, with fewer than 1,600 students, moved into the Top 25 for the first time in school history Monday. The Terriers responded by showcasing the depth and 3-point shooting prowess that got them to this point.

The Terriers haven’t lost since falling 98-87 at Mississippi State on Dec. 19. Their only other losses this season were against No. 5 North Carolina, Oklahoma and No. 15 Kansas.
