Big Ten tournament roundup: Indiana, Michigan advance to quarters

Ninth-seeded Indiana scored 10 straight points in the first quarter and 13 in a row down the stretch to earn a 78-62 upset of eighth-seeded Oregon in Big Ten tournament second-round action Thursday in Indianapolis.

Yarden Garzon paced the Hoosiers (19-11) with 18 points that included 4-of-7 shooting on 3-pointers. Shay Ciezki posted 17 points, Chloe Moore-McNeil scored 13 and Sydney Parrish added 10 to push Indiana into Friday's first quarterfinal against top-seeded Southern California.

Indiana jumped ahead quickly in front of a partisan crowd at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Ciezki scored 11 points, including three 3-pointers, to stake the Hoosiers to a 23-11 lead after one quarter.

Peyton Scott notched 16 points, eight rebounds and four assists for the Ducks (19-11) while Ehis Etute added 14 points off the bench. Scott beat the halftime buzzer with a 17-foot baseline jumper that pulled the Ducks within 40-30 at the break.

Oregon got as close as 53-48 late in the third quarter and climbed within 63-55 on Scott's pullup with 6:15 to go. That's when Indiana reeled off 13 straight to pull away.

Michigan 66, Washington 58

Big Ten co-Freshman of the Year Olivia Olson scored nine of her 21 points during a 13-0 third-quarter run to lift the fifth-seeded Wolverines to a second-round victory over the 12th-seeded Huskies.

The Wolverines' spree -- triggered by an Olson layup and capped by Olson's spinning drive for a three-point play -- turned a 39-36 deficit into a 49-39 lead as the Huskies went six minutes and 10 possessions without a point.

Freshman Syla Swords contributed 15 points and Jordan Hobbs added 11 points with six rebounds and four assists for Michigan (21-9), which meets fourth-seeded Maryland in Friday's second quarterfinal.

Dalayah Daniels delivered a game-high 22 points and 10 rebounds for Washington (19-13). Elle Ladine posted 14 of her 16 points after halftime, but finished 7-for-20 from the field. Washington entered the game ranked eighth nationally in 3-point accuracy at 37.7 percent, but Michigan limited the Huskies to 4-of-18 shooting from long range.
