I thought Michigan-Purdue were 1-2, but Illinois and OSU might be close.  Early returns suggest that is not the case.

PSU lost by 25 to a UMass team (which is bad enough on its own) whose best player transferred to Texas?

Could be a long winter there

And Wisconsin down 10 at home to Providence?

Big Ten not looking up to their standard of the past couple seasons at all.

OSU looked good last night, but got some rough news that Justice Sueing is out indefinitely. I thought he would be their second best player this year.

Purdue up against their hardest opponent of the year, so far. Tripling them up 51-17 at half. 

They should institute a CBB mercy rule. I'd hate to see my Boilers brought up on charges at The Hague for this atrocity...

The true mercy is flipping off the TV when you’re watching 10 walk-ons

The walk-ons nearly cracked 100...

Big Ten continuing to underwhelm last night

just can't be excited about Husker hoops until they can beat the Bluejays

That was as unenjoyable a 21 point road win over a big six conference team as is humanly possible. Got to love a game that goes nearly 2 and 1/2 hours, where the last half hour is just free throws

Seeing more teams start to intentionally foul earlier in the game, with larger deficits. My guess is as 3-point shooting becomes more prevalent and efficient, teams are more willing to give up two-point possessions, if the possession is short, early in the game, with the hope of it being less.

I wonder if they need to add a super bonus. Three shots to make two or something. So that the intentional foul is a nearly guaranteed three points. Or just add a guaranteed free throw for every three fouls beyond 10

As an admitted cliff's notes hoops fan, the above really underscores my continued separation from basketball as an interested observer.    It's exhausting.  I'd love to see some radical rule changes.   I really want to see that 3pt line at nba length.    

I've long wanted to see 2nd half under 5min back court fouls result in 2 shots and the ball for instance.   Foul away from the ball anywhere, 2 plus the ball.
