Wisconsin beat UI-Chicago but Maryland was upset by Albany in the first round.

#2 Indiana and #7 Michigan State both held serve, 3-0 over Old Dominion and Virginia Tech in the 2nd round, but #13 Michigan was upset 3-2 at home by Colgate.  Wisconsin continued their miracle run by upsetting #12 Notre Dame, to join Indiana and MSU in the Sweet 16.

OSU went 3-0 vs Michigan as ECAC rivals; 2012-14. 
/Michigan was technically a D1 Independent in 2012, as they played a transitional schedule. 

OSU is off to a 3-0 start against Michigan so far, in the Big Ten LC; 2015-present

/Michigan has only once defeated a current Big Ten team either before or after the formation of the Conference; a two goal victory over Rutgers in 2015, propelling the Wolverines to a 1-1 start in the inaugural season of Big Ten play. 
//Their current Big Ten losing streak began with the Buckeyes, that following week in 2015. 

Scores: OSU-Michigan

Las Vegas, Nev. – Four Huskers are still alive in the championship bracket at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Collegiate Wrestling Invitational, and Nebraska sits in third place with 73.5 points in the team race after the first day of the loaded tournament in Las Vegas, Nev.

[Brutus Buckeye]

Wisconsin, Minnesota and Ohio St sit atop the WCHA standings in W Ice Hockey.
/14 points separates those three from the rest of the pack. (North Dakota dropped w ice hockey this year, so it's just the MN quadruplettes) 
//Penn State is floating along at .500 in the CHA Standings.

BUCKEYES OUTLAST NO. 22 MICHIGAN 78-71 IN OVERTIME

http://www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com/sports/w-baskbl/recaps/010718aaa.html


Kelsey Mitchell scored a season-high 37 points and the Buckeye defense stepped-up down the stretch to secure a key 78-71 overtime victory at No. 22 Michigan on Sunday.
.


Speaking of OSU Women's Hoops, the Buckeyes locked down Dublin Coffman PG Jacy Sheldon in their 2019 recruiting class. 

So you can safely pencil in four straight Final Four runs, beginning in 2020.

#7OSU Women's Ice Hockey completes the season sweep (3-0-1-1) of the vaunted #5Gophers. 



They split the Penn St series 1-1 a few weeks back, and are two games away from being on the receiving end of a 4-game season sweep at the hands of the #1Badgers.
