Trey Burke scored 18 points, and No. 23 Michigan raced to a 20-point first-half lead before holding on for a 68-56 victory over No. 20 Indiana on Wednesday night.
The Wolverines (17-6, 7-3 Big Ten) remained unbeaten at home. They got off to a quick start after last weekend's loss at No. 3 Ohio State, scoring the first 13 points and eventually taking a 28-8 lead.

Jordan Hulls scored 18 points for Indiana.
