BIG TEN ROUNDUP Illinois is a Head better than Michigan

Luther Head's five 3-pointers paced the Illini in the 67-52 win.
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) -- Luther Head hit five 3-pointers and scored 18 points and Deron Williams scored 15 points and had five assists Saturday to lead Illinois to a 67-52 win over Michigan.
Head hit two of the 3-pointers during a 13-3 second-half run that turned a three-point game into a double-digit Illini lead with 12:21 to go.
Six minutes later, Williams keyed a 5-point burst that broke a 4-0 Michigan run, hitting a three and then flipping a nice pass to Roger Powell for a layup on the next possession to put Illinois up 55-44. The Wolverines couldn't get within double digits again.
The Wolverines hit only one of five shots from the field in the last six minutes of the game as Illinois outscored them 14-8 and held Michigan to a season-low scoring total. Michigan shot only 35 percent from the field and was only 3 of 18 from behind the 3-point line.
Williams also had five rebounds and Dee Brown scored 13 points for Illinois (13-5, 4-3 Big Ten).
Bernard Robinson Jr. led Michigan with 14 points and Lester Abram scored 12 for Michigan (12-6, 3-4), which saw its three-game winning streak snapped.
Northwestern 61, Minnesota 47
EVANSTON, Ill. -- Jitim Young scored 26 of his career-high 31 points in the second half Saturday as Northwestern kept Minnesota winless in the Big Ten.
Young scored 12 straight Northwestern points during one second-half surge as the Wildcats (8-10, 3-4) overcame a four-point halftime deficit and ended a three-game losing streak.
Freshman Kris Humphries, the Big Ten's leading scorer and rebounder with averages of 22.7 and 10.5 respectively, led the Gophers with 12 points and 12 rebounds, but had just one point in the second half. Minnesota lost its sixth straight game and fell to 8-11 overall and 0-7 in league play.
Young's followup basket put the Wildcats up 45-38 and then Mohamed Hachad got a loose ball, drove three-quarters of the floor, made a spin move and banked in a shot for a nine-point lead.
Young later drove for a basket after a steal, hit two free throws after he was knocked to the floor during a scramble and then hit a 3-pointer to beat the shot clock as Northwestern went up by 12.
Young shot 10-for-13 from the field and was 10-of-15 from the line. His previous high was 29. Hachad added 13 points for the Wildcats.
