Illini beat Indiana in Bloomington, which is not an easy task. Purdue handles Michigan and Rutger just beat Michigan State by 21 points. (Wow)
Today it was easy. It was men (Kofi Cockburn and Trent Frazier) vs. boys (the entire IU team). Embarrassing.
Was Michigan State at full strength? I see Purdue handled Michigan at home. KU opened a can of whoop ass on Baylor as did Texas on Iowa State in Austin for a nice bounce back from the loss to Texas Tech earlier this week.
I see that they honored Roy Williams at today's UNC /Duke game. They are naming a stretch of highway, The Roy Williams Highway. Unfortunately Duke is driving above the speed limit with impunity down the road today in Chapel Hill. Up 11 on UNC at half.
Big game for the Boilers (and the rest of the B1G leaders) Tuesday night in Mackey...Illinois comes in with a 1 game lead on everybody in the loss column. Then we turn around and play Michigan again, this time in Ann Arbor. I think that is a make up game from when they were having Covid issues. Painter was asked about his plans for facing Michigan just 5 days after pulling the game out...he said wasn't going to answer that question...normally he would speak to it but he had to get ready for Illinois on Tuesday and that's all he wanted the team focused on. Dickinson is one hell of a player for Michigan! And that kid Houston as well.
Justin Ahrens came off the bench and made four treys to help defeat Maryland this afternoon. He has been fighting a terrible slump for the past two months. We are 10-0 at home this season.
I know many of you (maybe most) don't follow Womens College Basketball. But the highlights of Iowa's Catlin Clark's 46 points in a loss to Michigan are really something to watch. She leads the nation in scoring and really at times you just go wow with some of her shots. She kind of reminds me of the season a BYU men's player named Jimmer Fredette and the season he had back in 2011 when he seemed unstoppable from anywhere on the court.
In a big upset, Texas beat KU at home last night in a very tight game that went to the last minute. 79-76. Keeps the Longhorns solidly in 4th in the hypercompetitive B12.
They never trailed, big win for the Badgers. Barn burner going on right now at Mackey between Illinois and Purdue.
Jayden Ivey is personally smoking the Illini in the 2nd half. What a show he is putting on right now. Purdue up double digits, but Edey just had to sit down with foul trouble
Purdue by 16, tonight the Boilermakers looked like a final four team and Ivey looked like one of the best players not just in the Big10, but in the country.
So much talent in Ivey and Trevion Williams. I get frustrated with their turnovers which seem careless at times, but I guess that's the price you pay for the plays they pull off.
Buckeyes collapse at end and lose to Rutgers. Rutgers has a really good defensive club and some impressive wins on their resume (as in Purdue, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Michigan.)
