EVANSTON, Ill. Manning Elite Jersey . -- No matter how many wins Michigan piles up, Trey Burke insisted one thing will not change. The Wolverines will keep seeing themselves as underdogs, even after nights like this. Burke scored 23 points, Tim Hardaway Jr. added 21 and No. 2 Michigan pounded Northwestern 94-66 on Thursday to remain unbeaten. Off to their best start since they opened the 1985-86 season with 16 wins, the Wolverines (14-0, 1-0) had no trouble in the Big Ten opener after breezing through the non-conference portion of their schedule. They built a 21-point halftime lead with Burke and Hardaway Jr. leading the way and were never challenged by Northwestern (9-5, 0-1). "14-0 thats a great start -- and 1-0 in the Big Ten -- but weve got to keep the attitude where guys are still doubting us," Burke said. Hell get no argument from his coach. "Were always working that way, like were hunting all the time and we dont ever want to lose that," John Beilein said. "Its not a negative to always be working." Michigan shot 59.6 per cent overall and made 13 of 22 3-point attempts with the two guards doing most of the damage. Burke shot 9 of 16 overall and hit 4 of 6 3-pointers. Hardaway was 6 of 8 from the field and 4 of 5 from long range, and the ankle injury that kept him out of the previous game didnt seem to be an issue. "Just to see him back out there after his injury," Burke said. "Back in action. Back in the groove. It was great." Jordan Morgan added 12 points and 13 rebounds for the Wolverines, while Glenn Robinson III and Nik Stauskas scored 10 points apiece. Jared Swopshire and Kale Abrahamson each scored 11 points for Northwestern, but the Wildcats gave up the most points they have allowed this season while being outclassed by one of the nations best teams. "Eventually, weve got to start doing things that the coaches get on us about," guard Dave Sobolewski said. "We keep messing up the same things in the 1-3-1. We keep missing assignments. We keep falling asleep on defence. A lot of it will come down to heart and how bad we want it on defence mainly, too." It was a sharp contrast from their two meetings last season, when Michigan needed overtime to win both games. Then again, the Wildcats were short-handed. Besides suspending guard JerShon Cobb for the season for violating team policy, they also shut down one of their best players, Drew Crawford, for the remainder of the season last month because of a shoulder injury. Leading scorer Reggie Hearn sat out his second straight game because of a sprained ankle. Even so, Michigan wasnt showing any mercy. Instead, the Wolverines ended the suspense early. Burke, averaging a team-leading 17.8 points coming in, scored 15 in the first half. Hardaway added 12 points, hitting all four 3s, and Michigan barely broke a sweat before taking a 51-30 halftime lead. "I guess thats what happens when youre running the fastbreaks and getting easy baskets. It all comes off of defensive stops," Hardaway said. Burke did his best to bury Northwestern almost as soon as the game started. The sophomore guard scored 13 straight points for Michigan to help the Wolverines grab a 20-4 lead. "Hes got a presence out there," Beilein said. "Hes got a great ability to know when he can score and when he can find other people." Hardaway got going midway through the half, making consecutive 3-pointers that made it 33-13 and drew an "M Go Blue! M Go Blue!" chant from the maize-and-blue contingent in the stands. He struck again from the outside on consecutive possessions later in the half. And Burke wowed the crowd in the closing minutes when he laid the ball in after a nasty crossover. For Northwestern fans, there was little to cheer in the early going other than when football coach Pat Fitzgerald addressed the crowd on the heels of his teams Gator Bowl victory. "Coach told us to be aggressive," Burke said. "Dont be timid against the zone. Attack it so you can get good shots." Peyton Manning Jersey . About 4,000 fans showed up at LAX early Wednesday morning to welcome the Western Conference champions back from Arizona. Even Game 5 hero Dustin Penner was awestruck. "It was like driving down a hallway lined with human flesh," said Penner, who scored the overtime goal that sent the Kings to the Stanley Cup final. Authentic Peyton Manning Jersey .

Lewis has been the best American on the LPGA Tour all season. On Friday, Lewis won the first four holes and rolled to a 4-and-3 decision over Sandra Gal in the second round at Hamilton Farm Golf Club. The tournament has become a minefield for the tours marque players. Defending champion Suzann Pettersen, No. 4 ranked Ai Miyazato and American stars Paula Creamer, Brittany Lincicome and Michelle Wie went down in the opening round. Cristie Kerr, last years runner-up and the No. 5 ranked player, lost Friday along with No. 7 Jiyai Shin and No. 14 Karrie Webb. Eleven of the 20 seeded players in the 64-woman field have been eliminated. "I dont think Suzann losing really opens things up for me," said Lewis, who was in Pettersens bracket. "I think Ive got a lot of tough matches still ahead of me, and there were a lot of upsets yesterday, so it just shows what match play is. Anything could happen on any given day." Theres still talent at the top. Top-ranked Yani Tseng posted a 3-and-1 win over American Katie Futcher, and No. 2 ranked Na Yeon Choi was a 3-and-2 winner of fellow South Korean Jenny Shin. The 27-year-old Lewis has more pressing problems. Her third-round opponent will be Sun Young Yoo, who won this event two years ago and the tours first major earlier this year, the Kraft Nabisco Championship. "Sun Youngs having a great year," Lewis said. "Shes playing really well." So is Lewis. She has a win and four other top-10 finishes with earnings of $436,746, fourth best on tour. Her sights are set on being the top American. "Thats the reason I go out and play every day," Lewis said. "I think Ive probably been playing as good, if not better, than a lot of the American players and I havent got noticed yet, and thats what drives me every day to go out and get better and to keep playing and to keep winning matches. I think if youre up on that leaderboard enough and you win enough golf tournaments, people will start to taake notice. Manning Womens Jersey. . "I havent been noticed, but its driving me every day." Lewis never gave Gal a chance. The former Arkansas star played 15 holes in 5-under par. She made birdies of 4, 10 and 30 feet on the first three holes and won the fourth when Gal bogeyed. The German moved within 2-down after 11 holes, but Lewis birdied the 13th and 14th to open daylight again. Tseng, who has won three events this year, was down 1 after seven holes, but she won four holes between Nos. 11 and 17 to move on. Choi never trailed in her match with Shin and closed out her countrywoman with a birdie at the par-3 16th. Kerr saved par from a greenside bunker at No. 18 to extend the match, but she hit her second shot into a lateral hazard on the first playoff hole and had to take a drop. Hurst opened the door a little by missing the green and knocking her third about 4 feet past the cup. However, Kerr, winless since 2010, missed her bogey putt and conceded the match. There were a couple of surprises again. Jodi Ewart of England, who knocked out Pettersen in the opening round, sent another Scandanavian to the sideline with a 3-and-1 win over veteran Sophie Gustafson. The 24-year-old will face Azahara Munoz. The Spaniard beat Webb 2 and 1. American Angela Stanford, the No. 12 seed and the runner-up to Yoo two years ago, was impressive with a front-running 4-and-3 win over Eun-Hee Ji of South Korea. Stanford will play Hurst in the third round. Anna Nordqvist of Sweden upset Jiyai Shin 2 and 1, winning three of the final five holes. The weekend will be double rounds. The third round and the quarterfinals will be played Saturday, and the semifinals and championship on Sunday. Julieta Granada of Paraguay posted the most impressive win on Friday with a 6-and-5 thrashing of Ryann OToole, who eliminated Lincicome in the first round. Americans Mina Harigae and Jennifer Johnson both lost Friday after posting upsets in the first round. A day after beating Creamer, Johnson lost 2 and 1 to Karine Icher. Harigae, who defeated Wie, was beaten 3 and 2 by U.S. Womens Open champion So Yeon Ryu. ' ' '
