  Will be interesting to see if the Spartans can right the ship tonight. Obviously you can never count out the Spartans but they're digging themselves a decent hole record-wise.

  19-7 Wisky in East Lansing. Sparty looks demoralized.
• KR1245

  

  Sparty doesnt look like a good basketball team.

  I think they heard you lol

  You gotta make that layup. Gettin pinned by that guy? smh
• burt07

  Impressive late comeback by the Spartans to get to overtime, if they pull this out it could be a spark for them.

  He's a nice big. But yeah. Kalin, use your left hand homie.
• Hb31187

  

  Yeah, there was NO need to go to that side of the hoop. He had a step on him and all he had to do is lay it up left hand and its game over lol. Oh well, might still pull out the win
• wildcats20

  

  Teddy V is ruining this overtime.
• Hb31187

  

  Taylor from Wisky is doing his best LBJ crying about every call impersonation
• Hb31187

  

  Lucas has got progressively worse from the line year to year it seems

  Whoops
  
  They still arent a very good team imo
• wildcats20

  

  Not that it matters with only 2.2 left, but that is a foul on the inbound. It sickens me that refs REFUSE to call it. That's at least the 2nd time I've seen it this year.

  PSU is up 12 on the Illini w/ 6:00 left in the first half.

  After defeating Michigan State on Saturday, Penn State beats Illinois at home for their second straight win in a row against a ranked team. 57-55.

  The road in the Big Ten is treacherous.
  
  Period.
• HeathAlum21

  How good is Izzo? Taylor Battle is a stud too.
• wildcats20

  

  Izzo is a great coach, no doubt.
  
  But he definitely benefited from TERRIBLE officiating down the stretch last night.

  It happens in every conference???
  
  Just today, Colorado beat Kansas State @ Kansas State. #1 Duke lost to Florida State

  Potential big one tonight in Minneapolis. Gophers are 1-3 in the league but have lost their three games on the road to Wisconsin, MSU and Ohio State by an average of 7 points. Purdue is one of two undefeated teams left in Big Ten play, but haven't necessarily had a big-time road game yet (I say necessarily because they did beat Penn State on the road, and we can ask Illinois and MSU how easy that road trip is).
  
  Hoping my Gophers can get a victory here. It would probably set them up for a decent run heading into February.
• gorocks99

  

  70-67, Gophers lead with 53 ticks left on the clock. Pretty good game tonight!
• Hb31187

  

  Thats a bad blocking call....Player was out of the control coming down the lane
• gorocks99

  

  Timeout Purdue ... Gophers by 3. 10 seconds to play.
