Results
Here are the results from last week’s games (Week #3):
Tuesday (01/15/2013)
Wisconsin won at Indiana, 64-59
Wednesday (01/16/2013)
Michigan State won at Penn State, 81-72
Purdue won at Nebraska, 65-56
Thursday (01/17/2013)
Michigan won at Minnesota, 83-75
Northwestern won at Illinois, 68-54
Saturday (01/19/2013)
Nebraska won at Penn State, 68-64
Ohio State lost at Michigan State, 59-56
Wisconsin lost at Iowa, 70-66
Sunday (01/20/2013)
Indiana won at Northwestern, 67-59
The home teams did terrible this week, going 2-7. There were a few surprises this week:
- Wisconsin won at Indiana on Tuesday. Indiana is ranked #2, Wisconsin isn’t ranked, and Indiana is virtually unbeatable at home.
- Northwestern won at Illinois on Thursday. Illinois is still ranked, Northwestern isn’t, and Illinois used to be tough at home.
- Nebraska won at Penn State on Saturday. Sure, they’re both “lower division” teams, but for Nebraska to win a road game is amazing. This is only their 2nd Big Ten road win ever.
- Wisconsin lost at Iowa on Saturday. Wisconsin was in 1st place all alone, and Iowa is a “lower division” team.

Tuesday (01/22/2013)
Iowa at Ohio State
Michigan State at Wisconsin
