(5) Michigan State 85 – (4) Maryland 83: If you didn’t watch this one you missed out on an Instant Classic. Down 7 with under 2 minutes to go Greivis Vasquez not only leads Maryland all the back they take the lead with under 7 seconds to go. And then well I’m sure you’ve heard and seen what happens to Maryland next…buzzer beater.

(12) Cornell 87 – (4) Wisconsin 69: There’s like 2 all white teams still in the tournament, Northern Iowa and Cornell (Cornell is the better of the 2). Still Wisconsin should have won this one and they would have had it not been for this kid Tim Jarmusz, who only contributed 1 foul in 17 minutes in the loss. On a team full of losers, he’s the biggest one.

This is the toughest region in the tournament and you’ve got two kinds of teams in it…there’s good ones and then there’s bad ones, and for the bad teams the first round is going to get ugly. We looked and looked for a possible upset, but just couldn’t find one.

Houston, who snuck in the tourney by the hairs on their chinny chin chin with a win over heavily favored UTEP in the C-USA Final is a David, but them pulling off a win against Maryland…we don’t think so. In this matchup David is going to get crushed by Goliath.

Before the Big 10 Tourney started Michigan State’s Coach Izzo caught everyone, even the players, by surprise when he announced that he’d be suspending starting guard Chris Allen indefinitely. The only reason given…some BS about violating unspecified team rules and something “about being a better teammate”. So what was the suspension about?

These are some pretty sweet Nike’s for anybody who goes to one of these five schools. They’re the Nike Sweet Classic High and come with a school related graphic on the side (the Syracuse shoe has a picture of the Carrier Dome…Miami’s has their mascot).

And since they are Nike ID’s which means you can customize them by adding your own text on the heel-tab of the shoe and chose between a white or black midsole. So if you got $105 plus shipping lying around, get started making yours today over at Nike ID.

The Big 10 title race is closer than Kim Kardashian’s ass cheeks. So close that 3 teams could end up all sharing the title of “best is the Big 10″. It breaks down like this:

#12 Michigan State can earn a share of the Big Ten title for the second consecutive season with a victory against Michigan on Sunday. #7 Ohio State already has clinched a share of the championship, and #6 Purdue can share it with a victory over Penn State on Saturday.

If Michigan State and Purdue both win (which they should) the Big 10 title would turn into a ménage à trois with all dudes…something we do not want to see. I can understand splitting a championship 2 ways, but 3 makes the championship pretty much worthless.
