This was a tough one. Both teams feelt dead even all night long. Michigan State got a late push, Purdue had two chances to tie or win at the end, and didn’t pull it off. Damn good classic Big Ten basketball game. This will go easier if I dive right into the bullet points: Can […]

Fortunately for the Illini, Kylan Boswell came back and a stifling defensive performance against Indiana righted the ship. Also, […]
