One top 25 upset and 3 OT games
B1G
Michigan State 74 Michigan 64 – despite 27 and 11 from Hillmon for the Wolverines
Penn State 76 Illinois 65 – neither team going anywhere
B1G standings up to the minute:
1. Maryland (24-3, 13-3)
2. Iowa (21-6, 12-4)
3. Rutgers (18-8, 10-5)
4. Michigan (19-10, 10-7)
5. Ohio State (13-12, 9-7)
6t. Nebraska (13-14, 8-8)
6t. Purdue (17-12, 8-8)
6t. Minnesota (19-8, 8-8)
6t. Michigan State (18-9, 8-8)
6t. Northwestern (15-12, 8-8)
11. Indiana (18-10, 7-9)
12. Penn State (12-15, 5-11)
13. Wisconsin (13-14, 4-11)
14. Illinois (10-18, 2-15)
The only team locked into any spot in the standings is Illinois; everybody else could end up moving from the current position. RU right now could finish anywhere from 1stto 9thif the tiebreakers are unkind, although I’d guess the actual worst spot probably is 7th. (Also kind of amazing is that there’s only one game matching up two of the 8-8 teams.)
