MADISON, Wis. -- Mike Wilkinson scored 18 points and No. 23 Wisconsin again showed its dominance over in-state rival Wisconsin-Milwaukee, beating the Panthers 89-71 Saturday.
Devin Harris added 13 points and matched a career high with nine assists as the Badgers (6-1) shot 51 percent in their 18th straight home win.

Indiana 62, Butler 50
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Bracey Wright scored 22 points, 16 in the second half, and A.J. Moye added 12 points to lead Indiana past Butler.
The Hoosiers (4-3) won their second straight game, while Butler (3-4) lost its second straight for the second time this season.
The Bulldogs, who reached the NCAA's round of 16 and upset Indiana the last time the teams met two years ago, played their usual deliberate style and made things difficult for Indiana much of the day. But the Hoosiers tightened their defense in the final seven minutes and used a 10-0 run and solid free throw shooting to pull away.

The win was Detroit's 35th in as many tries against visiting non-conference opponents. The Titans have won 78 of their last 83 home games.
