CHAMPAIGN, Illinois: Michigan came to Champaign, Illinois, with a shot at sewing up its first outright Big Ten title since 1986.

One potential obstacle stood in the way: Illinois was riding a hot streak and had held four straight opponents under 50 points.

It turns out the Illini weren’t much of a problem.

Michigan (22-7, 14-3 Big Ten) buried Illinois with 16 3-pointers on the way to an 84-53 blowout Tuesday night.

Nik Stauskas scored 24 points, hitting a career-best seven 3 pointers. He said Michigan didn’t want to share the championship with anybody, something it did in 2012.

“We came with that mindset, this was our championship and we wanted to win it,” he said.

Dialed in or not, Michigan coach John Beilein said he didn’t see that kind of shooting performance coming against the Illini (17-13, 6-11).

“I haven’t seen that in practice even,” Beilein said. “We were really good today.”

Rayvonte Rice led Illinois with 16 and Kendrick Nunn added 14.
