Everything we wanted tonight in the B1G except for Penn State-NW
B1G
Minnesota 93 #23 Michigan 87 - Wagner had 26 for the Golden Gophers
Nebraska 79 Michigan State 69 - Big Red had to come from behind at the half
Penn State 67 Northwestern 59 - despite 21 and 14 from Kunalyi-Akpanah for the Wildcats
If RU wins out to go 9-7, the best possible finish is 5th. I think the worst possible finish is 9th, but that assumes that Michigan beats Maryland. FWIW, Indiana has a not very pleasant last three games - Nebraska, @Minnesota, Iowa - and needs to win 2 of 3 to go 9-7.
Other RU opponents
Wichita State 88 Temple 81 - Owls have lost 10 of last 11
Other ranked teams
#6 Texas 87 Texas Tech 72 - 5 Longhorns in double figures; none with more than 13 points
#22 South Florida 64 Southern Methodist 54 - closer than I would have guessed
Also
George Washington 55 Massachusetts 49 - Minutewomen aren't great, but still 4 of 5 for Colonials
St. Joseph's 64 Davidson 62 - big crunch at 8 wins - 4 teams - in 2nd tier of A-10
American 61 Boston University 54 - Eagles still undefeated in Patriot
Lamar 71 Incarnate Word 47 - Lady Cardinals (yes, really) and Stephen F. Austin atop Southland with 1 loss each
Today:
Big Ten 0-0
Other RU opponents 0-1
Year to date:
B1G: 129-47
Other RU opponents: 187-120
