Spartans look to be the class of the B10, followed by Purdue, Wisconsin and OSU lumped together, and then everybody else.

Still a long way to go, but it looks like this might be a five team race now, especially if MSU loses tonight to Purdue.

Which they did!

Dominating performance by the Old Gold and Black, in one of CBB's most intimidating venues...

Huge win for Purdue. I think they are now in the drivers seat, having home games with MSU and Illinois remaining.

The Spartans are reeling and the Illini are surging!

This is known as the HJ Kiss of Death.

The last two games are the only enjoyment I have gotten out of that team all year. They are (hopefully were) brutally inconsistent and without leadership. Pretty much every game has the same theme. They play up or down to their competition and can't hold a lead or can't keep from getting down by double digits, only to come back. Looks like DMac has NBA game if he decides to keep guarding people.

WOW.

Flat-out dominance by Purdue in first halves against both MSU and OSU on their home floors...despite the tight finishes, I am liking this playing-from-waaay-ahead stuff

[Faceman]

The best team in the Big 10, especially if JJ has an offensive game.

Purdue showed the ability to win in many different ways this weekend. Illinois had a lead throughout but was unable to hang on at the end. Purdue made some big shots (and may have had a little home cookin', but to be expected on the road in the Big 10) and took control at the end.

This win pretty much seals the Big Ten title for the Boilermakers.

FU@k, Fu@k, FU@K!!!!!

Robbie Hummel blew out his knee at the Barn tonight--so much for my hopes of a glorious postseason for Purdue.

Unbelievable character shown by the guys to pull out a win tonight, but the future is bleak.

I can only hope against reality that Robbie's knee is not as bad as that grotesque wrenching appeared on TV

[Leroy]

Quite the outburst there Purdue.
