Illinois once again put on a dismal offensive display against Cornell. Things started out well, with Bruce Weber’s team taking a 10-3 lead out of the gate, but the offense completely fell apart from there. But we’ve seen numbers like this from Illinois before:

During halftime of Tuesday night’s Lamar-Ohio State game, the Buckeyes honored Bob Knight, a member of the school’s 1960 national championship team, with a University Ambassador Medal. The festivities opened with a video tribute that featured a quick montage and Mike Krzyzewski congratulating him on the honor, then two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin presented him with the medal. Finally, Knight gave a speech, which you can watch now.

Tuesday was a busy day on the Big Ten women’s hoops hardwood, with seven teams in action. No. 20 Purdue won its second consecutive game following its upset loss at Central Michigan, knocking off Oakland 66-47, and the conference went 5-2 on the day. Catch up on all the action on our Big Ten scoreboard and get recaps for all the action in this post.

Tonight on The Big Ten Pulse, Rick Pizzo, Derek Rackley and Tim Doyle talk about Indiana being the only undefeated Big Ten men’s basketball team right now. Who knew?

Tune in at 6 p.m. ET right before our basketball games tip off.

Just as we did during 2010-2011 hoops season, we’re archiving Gus Johnson’s greatest calls this season. Johnson called the Big Ten Football Championship for Fox and is calling men’s basketball for BTN all winter long. We clip and post his best calls and archive them here during games, so bookmark the page and come back all season right up through the Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament. Right now you can watch Johnson call Jordan Hulls’ lefty 3 to beat the shot clock last night at Indiana. Check out the rest of his Howard-Indiana calls in this post.
