The home teams didn’t do very well this week, going 6-5. There were a couple surprises:
- Michigan State lost at Illinois on Tuesday. MSU is a contender, and Illinois is very unpredictable. Still, it’s tough to win on the road in the Big Ten.
- Indiana won at Purdue on Saturday. Indiana keeps hanging around.
- Northwestern won at Illinois on Sunday. This is the same Illinois team that beat Michigan State on Tuesday.
