    Trey Burke grabbed the rebound and immediately took off toward the other basket. Down by one point with less than a minute to play, the Michigan freshman let his instincts take over.

    "After my third dribble I felt somebody hit the ball out of my hand, but he kind of popped it up and I caught it," Burke said. "Then I saw Stu out of the corner of my eye."

    Stu Douglass made a layup off Burke's pass with 36.5 seconds remaining, and the Wolverines (No. 19 ESPN/USA Today, No. 20 AP) held on through a wild final sequence to beat No. 9 Michigan State 60-59 on Tuesday night.
