Here are the results from last week’s games (Week #4):
Tuesday (01/17/2012)
Michigan State lost at Michigan, 60-59
Iowa lost at Purdue, 75-68
Wednesday (01/18/2012)

Sunday (01/22/2012)
Penn State lost at Indiana, 73-54
Wisconsin won at Illinois, 67-63
Northwestern lost at Minnesota, 75-52
The home teams did very well this week, going 9-2. There were a couple surprises:
- Indiana lost at Nebraska on Wednesday. Nebraska looked like they were on their way to an 0-18 season, then they won one last week, and beat a contender this week. It’s tough to win on the road in the Big Ten.
- Illinois lost at Penn State on Thursday. This is the same Illinois team that beat Ohio State last week. It’s tough to win on the road in the Big Ten.
The Upcoming Week
Here are the games scheduled for the upcoming week (Week #5):
Tuesday (01/24/2012)

Wednesday (01/25/2012)

There are several big games this week:

- Indiana at Wisconsin on Thursday. This is another battle to stay near the top of the standings.
- Michigan at Ohio State on Sunday. Michigan has a tough week coming up.
