Evan Smotrycz broke up a pass at one end of the court, then Tim Hardaway Jr. rattled in a shot from the baseline at the other. Michigan's slumping sophomores were finally giving the Wolverines a lift again. Hardaway scored 15 points and Smotrycz added 13, helping Michigan (No. 25 ESPN/USA Today, No. 22 AP) remain unbeaten at home with a 70-61 win over Illinois on Sunday.
