Gophers win it, 70-67. Had to have that one, have to hold serve at home in this league. Ohio State is the only unbeaten in conference play left.

Jajuan Johnson is a monster. You can argue him as the best big man in the big 10

I still think whoever wins this league may have 3 or 4 losses. Winning on the road is THAT tough.

Michigan State is looking awful again today, down 23-18 at half at home to Northwestern, despite the conferences #2 scorer John Shurna having 0 points.

IU gets their first win of the Big Ten season with an 80-61 home win over Michigan. Hard to imagine Michigan had all those top 5 games and their loss to Indiana is by far the largest margin.

Just fixing the team name, though most wouldve figured it out lol.

Indiana finally came to play with some pride. They actually played defense, winning this game early by holding UofM to just 15 points in the first half.
Ive also said it before and Ill say it again, Jordy Hulls is the best shooter in the Big Ten and needs to look to score!!! Its so frustrating watching a guy who is like 97% from behind the arc pass up shots. He passed them up today as well until Michigan started the comeback and he immediately went and looked for his shot. Result: 3/3 from 3, 1/1 from 2 and 2/2 from the line. Didnt hit the rim once.

Was WVU ranked? I think they were at one time, not sure if they were today.
Hats off to Purdue for heading to MoTown to play this one regardless.

Yes, but still a pretty good team, especially on their home court. Although Minnesota beat them @ WVU earlier. And Minn just beat Purdue couple days ago. Of course, WVU just beat GT too...ahhhh, its so confusing! As Azu has stated, its what makes College basketball so much fun!

I agree that WVU is pretty good. And Morgantown is a pretty tough place to play as well.

Tough to win these kinds of games on the road. In fact, Purdue was an underdog, according to Vegas.

Wvu students stormed the court after the game.

Pretty much standard procedure there, they find the smallest things to party for.

Yeah I thought it was interesting a team that just went to the Final Four was storming the court?
