No. 4 Maryland beats Purdue for 3rd straight Big Ten title

The Big Ten Conference unveiled the men’s basketball All-Conference teams and individual award winners on Monday night on BTN Live. Then freshman point guard Destiny Slocum put on a shooting exhibition down the stretch. Just ask Indiana, Michigan State, Purdue and Nebraska, that were all blown out in the blink of an eye by the Wolverines this year.

Swanigan is joined on the All-Big Ten first team by Maryland guard Melo Trimble, Wisconsin center Ethan Happ, Iowa guard Peter Jok and Minnesota guard Nate Mason. Maryland earned a double bye in the tournament.

The conference’s Defensive Player of the Year was Minnesota’s Reggie Lynch, who is a shot-blocking machine for the Gophers. In the team’s three league victories, he averaged 22.3 points and had 25 in wins over Penn State and Nebraska. The Buckeyes plummeted all the way to the No. 11 seed in the Big Ten. “They responded”, Izzo said. “They do not play like it all”. 13 Badgers while Happ grabbed just five rebounds and went 7-of-16 from the floor. The Spartans fought their way to 17 second-chance points in the final two periods. Things have come together of late for MI, mostly on the back of all-conference point guard Derrick Walton Jr.

Hill, who is now fourth on the Fighting Illini all-time scoring list, joins Miles Bridges, from Michigan State; Bryant McIntosh, from Northwestern; and Derrick Walton, from Michigan, as choices by both the coaches and media.

Jones made 12 of 14 shots overall and went 8-for-9 from the foul line.

“You learn a lot about yourself and your team”, he said. It was the only field goal of the first half for Oden, the second-leading scorer for the Boilermakers. The Boilermakers had taken the lead at 14-12 on a three-pointer from Morrissette and layups by Dominique McBryde and Bridget Perry. Game 10 victor – 3:30 p.m. If Illinois can get to around 40-percent from the three-point line and 50-percent from the field then I think they won’t have troubles with scoring enough points to beat this MI squad.

Walker-Kimbrough’s 3-pointer provided Maryland with an 18-10 lead, but the Spartans rallied behind layups from Allen and Taya Reimer and Victoria Gaines’s 3-pointer. It has been somewhat of a wide-open year so far, with last year’s national champion Villanova ranking as KenPom’s second-best team and the runner-up, North Carolina, as the fourth-best. “And for that, I feel very good about my team”.

Game 2: No. 11 seed Ohio State vs.

As for MSU’s fate, the Spartans would eventually go on to play MI and then conference champion Maryland in the semifinals.

The game against MI won’t be easy, though. Total fouls-Michigan St. 20, Maryland 11.
