Because of their famous namesake fathers, Michigan forwards Tim Hardaway, Jr. and Glenn Robinson III grab much of the attention given to the top-ranked team in The Associated Press' college basketball poll.
But it's the other two double-digit scorers in the Michigan lineup, guards Trey Burke (17.9 avg.) and Nik Stauskas (12.6 avg.), who comprise what may be the nation's best backcourt heading into tonight's game at No. 3 Indiana (8 p.m., ESPN).Burke, a sophomore, is a finalist for the Bob Cousy Award, given to the nation's top point guard. He leads the Wolverines (20-1, 7-1 in Big 10) in scoring and assists (7.1) and is shooting a career-best 49.6 percent from the field. Burke also is one of 12 candidates for the Oscar Robertson Trophy, given to the national player of the year.Stauskas, a freshman, leads the Big Ten in 3-point shooting accuracy (49.5 pct.) and has made a team-high 54 shots from beyond the arc. Stauskas, along with Robinson, is one of 12 candidates for the Wayman Tisdale Award, given to the nation's top freshman.
