Gus Johnson got the assignment to call Michigan State at Northwestern with BTN’s Jim Jackson on Saturday and it didn’t take him long to dial up the volume. We clip and post Johnson’s best calls for each game he works this season and archive them here during games, so bookmark the page and come back all season right up through the Big Ten tourney.

Northwestern knocked off No. 7 Michigan State 81-74 (box score) just after Iowa dropped No. 13 Michigan 75-59 (box score) to complete a Saturday of upsets in the Big Ten. Get up to speed on the latest numbers from around the conference with Big Ten stat leaders, Big Ten standings, team-by-team schedules, and our full scoreboard.

That was quite a week in Big Ten men’s basketball. When I wrote Monday about Wisconsin’s struggles, I didn’t imagine they’d shake it off at Purdue later in the week. Then I spoke with Jerry Palm and he told me the Big Ten had eight tourney teams as of right now – we’ll check back with him next week to see if that’s changed. The week got better when I attended the Illinois game and witnessed Brandon Paul’s amazing 43-point night. That will surely shake up my weekly Big Ten Player Rankings.

How do you break a Big Ten losing streak? Last night, the unlikely answer was to take a trip to snowy Indiana. Wisconsin and Minnesota got their seasons back on track with impressive wins in the Hoosier state.

In the second Super Wednesday doubleheader, presented by Buffalo Wild Wings, of the season, No. 13 Michigan held off Northwestern in overtime (recap) and Nebraska picked up its first Big Ten win with a victory over Penn State (recap). Catch up on all the action on our Big Ten scoreboard and get stats, video and recaps in this post.
