Top 25 men March 8, 2010

Darius Miller and Eric Bledsoe had 14 points apiece and No. 3 Kentucky withstood a Florida comeback with a 74-66 victory Sunday in Lexington, Ky., completing an 18-0 home season and likely cementing its hold on a top seed in the NCAA tournament.

The Wildcats (29-2, 14-2) had already clinched their 44th Southeastern Conference title outright with Vanderbilt's loss to South Carolina on Saturday night. Florida (20-11, 9-7) may need to win a few games in this week's SEC tournament in Nashville, Tenn., to reach the NCAAs.

No. 11 Michigan St. 64, Michigan 48: At East Lansing, Mich., Raymar Morgan scored 13 of his 22 points in the first half, helping the Spartans (24-7, 14-4) coast to a share of the Big Ten title, beating the Wolverines (14-11, 7-11).

Michigan State shared the championship with Ohio State and Purdue, winning their second straight title and sixth under coach Tom Izzo.

Michigan has to make a stunning appearance in the Big Ten tournament to avoid a losing record and would have to win the championship game to earn a consecutive bid to the NCAA tournament.

No. 15 Wisconsin 72, Illinois 57: At Champaign, Ill., Taylor Jordan and John Leuer each scored 20 points, and the Badgers (23-7, 13-5) dealt a significant blow to the Fighting Illini's (18-13, 10-8) NCAA tournament hopes.

Trevon Hughes added 14 points and 11 rebounds for Wisconsin, who will be the No. 4 seed in the Big Ten tournament. Illinois has dropped five of six and will be the No. 5 seed in Indianapolis.
