Cody Zeller scored 19 points, and Victor Oladipo had 15 to lead No. 3 Indiana to an 81-73 victory over No. 1 Michigan on Saturday night in Bloomington, Ind.

It’s the third time in school history the Hoosiers (20-2, 8-1 Big Ten) have beaten the No. 1 team at home, and they’ve done it in back-to-back seasons. The win gives Indiana sole possession of the Big Ten lead and likely the No. 1 ranking it held for the first seven weeks this season when the new poll comes out Monday.

In addition to Michigan’s defeat, No. 2 Kansas lost, 85-80, to Oklahoma State.

The Wolverines (20-2, 7-2) were led by Trey Burke with 25 points and Tim Hardaway Jr. with 18, but they couldn’t extend their four-game winning streak.

Michigan played most of the night without starting forward Jordan Morgan, who played 2 minutes on a sprained right ankle before returning to the bench.

Oklahoma State 85, at No. 2 Kansas 80: Markel Brown scored 28 points, Marcus Smart added 25, and the Cowboys (15-5, 5-3 Big 12) ended a nation-leading 18-game winning streak by the Jayhawks’ (19-2, 7-1).

Smart had a pair of key put-backs in the closing minutes, helping Oklahoma State go on a 13-2 run down the stretch.

Kansas also had its 33-game home winning streak snapped.

At Pittsburgh 65, No. 6 Syracuse 55: Tray Woodall had 13 points, four assists and three steals as the Panthers (18-5, 6-4 Big East) continued their mastery of top-10 teams at home by pulling away from the Orange (18-3, 6-2).

Pittsburgh improved to 13-1 against teams ranked in the top 10 since the Petersen Events Center opened a decade ago.

At California 58, No. 10 Oregon 54: Justin Cobbs made an 18-footer late and added a pair of free throws as the Golden Bears (13-8, 5-4 Pacific-12 Conference) hung on to hand the Ducks (18-4, 7-2) their second loss this week. Allen Crabbe and Richard Solomon scored 13 points apiece, helping Cal win back-to-back games for the first time since December.

No. 14 Miami 79, at No. 19 N.C. State 78: Reggie Johnson tipped in a missed shot with 0.8 seconds left to lift the Hurricanes (17-3, 8-0 ACC) over the Wolfpack (16-6, 5-4).

At Air Force 70, No. 22 San Diego State 67: Michael Lyons scored 20 points, and the Falcons (14-6, 5-2 Mountain West) upset the Aztecs (16-5, 4-3).
