btt: iu v. illinois halftime

As they headed to the locker room for the break, the Hoosiers lead the Illini by 3, 24-21. Leading scorers are Shaun Pruitt with 8 for Illinois and DJ White and Armon Bassett of the Hoosiers with 7 apiece.

The crowd? Mostly orange. However, the IU contingent is definitely heard. The Hoosiers could play much, much better still. And AJ Ratliff may have injured his hand. It seems OK for now, but we'll hear about that after the game.

Erin Andrews report: She has left the building. Tear.

on to the 2nd half on espn+!

15:55 left


Just to recap, our Big Ten winners so far today include Ohio State and Purdue. Right now, 2-seed Wisconsin leads 36-28 over Michigan State, who has started a small comeback. We'll see what happens there. Go Michigan State, i think.

As for, of course, the important game today, the Hoosiers are expected to start Armon Bassett, Earl Calloway, Roderick Wilmont, Mike White and DJ White. It seems Kelvin wants to come out with a very strong inside presence to get the 3-point shot open for Wilmont and AJ Ratliff. The Hoosiers need a strong, smart effort from the two players down low becaue foul trouble has been a huge hinderence for IU this year.

Right now, Wisconsin has the overwhelming fan support here, although a few Michigan State fans are coming out of the woodwork as the Spartans stage their modest comeback here. Unfortunetly, a large number of Illinois shirts are starting to appear...

See you at halftime, hopefully. Wisconsin leads 38-33 with 13:41 to go.

welcome to the big show (well, kinda)

I come to you now live from the United Center in Chicago courtside for the 207 Big Ten Tournament. Yeah, i'm excited.

Right now, Ohio State and Michigan ar battling it out early in the 2nd half, and I am yet to see how Ohio State can ever be ranked number one in the country. They lead by 8 over a terrible Michigan team. Well, maybe not terrible but they are pretty damn bad.

On to more important things. The apartment here is splendiferous and the Erin Andrews is 12 times that. Maybe 13.

We had Rock Bottom for dinner last night, because, well, it was right next to the apartment.

Ending this post, OSU is up 46-39 with 12:47 to play. Go wolverines.

more updates whenver.
