 ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - Daniel Horton was determined to help Michigan beat Illinois. Horton scored 25 of his career-high 39 points in the second half, rallying Michigan to a 72-64 victory over No. 8 Illinois on Tuesday night.
"I just wanted to do what it took to win," said Horton, who shot 13-for-20 from the field — including 5-for-7 on 3-pointers. "I gotta give my teammates all the credit. I shot well but I never really felt in a groove because there weren't any tough shots. I was open most of the time."
Horton was instrumental in jump-starting the Wolverines' struggling offense early in the second half. After trailing 34-30 at the break, Michigan hit five straight 3-pointers — including three by Horton — to take the lead.
