The Big Ten jumped out to a 4-2 lead as they seek to win their third straight challenge.

VIRGINIA 70,  #14 Michigan (Wolverines, 41,674 students, Ann Arbor, MI) 58 – Senior forward Mike Scott scored 18 points and had 11 rebounds, and sophomore guard Joe Harris had 18 points and seven rebounds to lead the Wahoos over No. 14 Michigan in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge Tuesday night at John Paul Jones Arena.

The victory was the fourth in a row for the Cavaliers and improved their record to 6-1 on the season. The loss drops Michigan's record to 5-2.

It's Virginia's highest ranked win since an 85-81 overtime victory over No. 12 Clemson at John Paul Jones Arena on Feb. 12, 2009. The Cavaliers have now held all seven of their opponents this season under 60 points.

Northwestern (Wildcats, 8,425 students, Evanston, IL) 76, GEORGIA TECH 60 – John Shurna, a 6-foot-9 senior forward, made three 3-pointers and had a team-high eight rebounds as Northwestern (6-0) remained unbeaten. Drew Crawford had 14 points and Luka Mirkovic had 13.

Jason Morris led Georgia Tech (4-3) with a career-high 21 points. Mfon Udofia had 12.

Illinois (Fighting Illini, 41,495 students, Champagne, IL)  71, MARYLAND 62 – Sam Sam Maniscalco scored 24 points, Brandon Paul had 17, and undefeated Illinois pulled away from the Terps.

The Fighting Illini (7-0) trailed at halftime and led by only one point with 8 minutes left before Maniscalco knocked down a pair of 3-pointers in a 10-2 run that proved too difficult for the feisty Terrapins to overcome.
