I’m beginning to wonder if there ever will be another palindromic score
Big Ten
#10 Maryland 93 #17 Iowa 59 – Terps look like the class of the B1G
#19 Northwestern 66 Michigan 60 – Wildcats aren’t far behind
#20 Indiana 59 Illinois 54 – surprisingly close
Ohio State 99 Minnesota 76 – Greene had 25 for the Buckeyes
Nebraska 75 Penn State 58 – pretty much everyone gets well against the Nittany Lions
Purdue 62 Wisconsin 59 – Harris led the Boilermakers with 23 and 12
Other RU opponents
None
Other ranked teams
#2 Baylor 81 Texas Christian 62 – Cox had 16 and 10 for the Bears
Also
Richmond 67 Duquesne 64 OT – something of an upset
Northern Illinoi 86 Miami (Ohio) 84 OT – game of the day
Iowa State 69 Texas 51 – 15 wins for the Cyclones
Fresno State 78 San Jose State 76 – Bulldogs now 14-0 in Mountain West
San Diego State 67 New Mexico 58 – Kalmer led the Aztecs with 17
Cincinnati 78 Tulsa 53 – Bearcats in the mix for 2nd in the AAC
Dayton 52 Massachusetts 51 – two late free throws by Scaife preserve Flyers’ perfect A-10 record
