Cody Zeller scored 19 points and Victor Oladipo had 15, leading No. 3 Indiana to an 81-73 victory over No. 1 Michigan on Saturday night in Bloomington, Ind.

It's the third time in school history the Hoosiers (20-2, 8-1 Big Ten) have beaten the No. 1 team at home, and it's the first time they've done it in back-to-back seasons. The win gives Indiana sole possession of the Big Ten lead and likely the No. 1 ranking it held for the first seven weeks this season when the new poll comes out Monday.

The Wolverines (20-2, 7-2) were led by Trey Burke with 25 points and Tim Hardaway Jr. with 18, but they couldn't extend their four-game winning streak.

No. 4 Florida 78, No. 16 Mississippi 64: In Gainesville, Fla., Erik Murphy scored 19 points and was instrumental on the defensive end in leading Florida to a victory over Mississippi.

Pat Young added 13 points and 12 rebounds for the Gators (18-2, 8-0), who won their 10th consecutive game. Mike Rosario (14 points) and Scottie Wilbekin (13) also reached double figures.

No. 5 Duke 79, Florida State 60: In Tallahassee, Fla., Seth Curry scored 21 points, Quinn Cook added 18 and Duke cruised past defending Atlantic Coast Conference champion Florida State.

Pittsburgh 65, No. 6 Syracuse 55: In Pittsburgh, Tray Woodall had 13 points, four assists and three steals as Pittsburgh continued its mastery of top 10 teams at home by pulling away from Syracuse.

Trey Zeigler added six points, four rebounds and four assists off the bench for the Panthers (18-5, 6-4 Big East).

No. 9 Butler 75, Rhode Island 68: In Indianapolis, Rotnei Clarke scored 23 points and Roosevelt Jones added 18 to lead Butler past Rhode Island.

Clarke scored 12 points in the first 11 minutes of the second half. The Bulldogs (18-4, 5-2 Atlantic 10) trailed 32-30 at the break, then went on a 15-3 run.

California 58, No. 10 Oregon 54: In Berkeley, Calif., Justin Cobbs made an 18-foot jumper with 1:35 remaining and then added a pair of free throws as California hung on to hand Oregon its second straight loss to an unranked team this week.

No. 11 Ohio State 63, Nebraska 56: In Lincoln, Neb., Lenzelle Smith Jr. had 21 points and Ohio State held off a late Nebraska surge.

No. 14 Miami 79, No. 19 N.C. State 78: In Raleigh, N.C., Reggie Johnson tipped in a missed shot with 0.8 seconds left to lift Miami over North Carolina State.

Northern Iowa 57, No. 15 Wichita State 52: In Cedar Falls, Iowa, Anthony James scored 16 points and Northern Iowa beat Wichita State, sending the Shockers to their first losing streak of the season.

No. 17 Missouri 91, Auburn 77: In Columbia, Mo., Keion Bell scored 24 points and Earnest Ross added 23, both season highs, as Missouri used another strong second half to beat Auburn.

No. 20 New Mexico 75, Nevada 62: In Albuquerque, N.M., Chad Adams hit two 3-pointers during a key second-half run that carried New Mexico past Nevada.

No. 21 Creighton 75, Bradley 58: In Omaha, Neb., Doug McDermott scored 25 points, including nine during a decisive 12-0 run, and Creighton overcame poor 3-point shooting in the first half to defeat Bradley.

No. 24 Cincinnati 65, Seton Hall 59: In Newark, N.J., Sean Kilpatrick scored 21 points, Cashmere Wright added 17 and Cincinnati held off Seton Hall after blowing nearly all of a 20-point lead.
