MSU hits free throws to go up 80-77, Izzo fouls, Illinois makes one, player misses 2nd but perfectly done where they got hands on the ball and a shot falling away out of bounds but shot was over the glass

Michigan State wins 80-78

11 game win streak for Sparty
 
Michigan State runs a very effective half court curl offense with most of their shots within five feet of the basket.They also are very good foul shooters but mediocre 3 point shooters.Illinois had two of their best players in foul trouble most of the game .These two teams along with Purdue will get the best NCAA seeds.
 
recap

Indiana 77 Ohio State 76 OT
UCLA 94 Iowa 70

Purdue 65 Oregon 58
Wisconsin 84 USC 69

Michigan State 80 Illinois 78
Maryland 69 Nebraska 66
Michigan 80 Northwestern 76 OT
 
A heckuva fun week in Big 10 hoops!

Tuesday: 3 games, 1 was close: Wisconsin 70-68 over OSU

Wednesday: 2 games, 1 close: MSU 90-85 over PSU

Thursday: 3 games, 2 OT's with each decided by 3 points and 2 points ... and RU wins by just 3 points (85-82) - at Nebraska.

Friday: 2 games, one a blow out, but also another OT game, Indiana 77-76 over OSU - at OSU

Saturday: 2 games, none all that close, though #17 Purdue beat #13 Oregon 65-58 - at Oregon.

Sunday: a truly great day of Big 10 hoops, fun to watch (watched all 3 games), Michigan at home winning in OT vs NW, 80-76, #12 MSU winning at home vs #19 Illinois 80-78 and Maryland winning at home vs Nebraska 69-66. 3 very fun games to watch.

Must not forget that RU also won Monday - fun for RU fans!

FYI: I would guess MSU cracks the Top 10 in the polls this week. Purdue also moves up to Top 15 ... Wisconsin may move into the Top 20. Michigan probably stays in the Top 25, though barely - lost to Minnesota, but then beat NW ... plenty of other Top 25 teams lost this week.

Also, FYI, if RU can find a way to beat PSU, on the road ... RU would be 4-4 in the Big 10, tied for 8th (currently 9th ... but a loss drops RU to 3-5, maybe 13th or so).
