I'd like to say the solstice egg nog delayed this, but I just got caught up in other stuff. It was the last big day of games before Christmas.
Big Ten

#12 Ohio State 88 Winthrop 48 - Eagles are 1-11
IUPUI 67 Purdue 62 - a troubling home loss
Indiana 74 Stony Brook 60 - Cahill had 14 and 13 for the Hoosiers
Other RU opponents
