		<description><![CDATA[Indiana held serve against Michigan State to move into a tie with Michigan atop the Big Ten standings. Normally, I’d use this opportunity to point out that although Indiana won by 5, the outcome actually suggests that Michigan State is the better team. But I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s true here, because Indiana was equal to or better than the Spartans in all but one category—three-point shooting. MSU made 11 of its 23 attempts from behind the three-point line, and I’ll go ahead and call that an aberration. While IU’s perimeter defense isn’t exactly a strength (teams are more than willing [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=btn.com&#038;blog=26303122&#038;post=99224&#038;subd=bigtennetworks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Big Ten had a relatively bad weekend, dropping marquee games against other high-major conference teams. The main event was a battle between two top-10 teams when Kansas visited Columbus. Given that the game was on the Buckeyes’ floor, Ohio State should have won this game, and probably by more than just a point or two. Instead, Kansas ended up with a relatively comfortable 8-point win. The Jayhawks led most of the way, and started pulling away with about ten minutes left. There was no great mystery as to why OSU lost—they were terrible shooting the ball, both inside and [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=btn.com&#038;blog=26303122&#038;post=93242&#038;subd=bigtennetworks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Up until Saturday night, Illinois’ season has been described in strange terms. At that point, it was “surprising” that Illinois was undefeated. The Illini won the Maui Invitational, which was a very “prestigious” early-season tournament. This isn’t normally how one talks about an undefeated team that’s ranked in the top-15. That&#8217;s because very few people were declaring that this team was actually as good as it looked on paper. That’s partly a function of having not played a murderer’s row of opponents (Butler destroyed the Maui bracket, making it such that Illinois might not have played a single NCAA Tournament [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=btn.com&#038;blog=26303122&#038;post=90085&#038;subd=bigtennetworks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Josh: It&#8217;s time to reflect on another season of Big Ten hoops. I think the rest of college basketball has finally taken notice of something that&#8217;s been true for the past 18 months or so&#8211;the Big Ten is the best conference in college basketball. Still, you look at the conference today, you see two great teams, 3 pretty darn good teams, a team good enough to make the Dance, and then mediocrity. Heck, even a couple of pretty bad teams. I mean, it&#8217;s hard to say the conference underachieved, but here goes&#8211;the conference underachieved. Sure, this is still the best [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=btn.com&#038;blog=26303122&#038;post=45997&#038;subd=bigtennetworks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Aaron Craft is a very good defensive player. Let’s get that out of the way. Whatever you think of the next few paragraphs, remember that we all agree that Craft’s defense would improve just about any collegiate basketball team. But the sophomore guard just earned some hardware that bestowed loftier praise than just being “very good.” Indeed, it is the opinion of Big Ten coaches that Craft is the conference’s best defensive player. At the risk of dismissing the opinions of 12 men who know a lot about basketball, I think they got this one wrong. Measuring defense is not [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=btn.com&#038;blog=26303122&#038;post=45983&#038;subd=bigtennetworks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I must admit, I was a bit cautious in projecting Michigan this season. Last year’s team became a force over the second half of the season, and the reason was largely the defense’s sudden improvement. It’s not like the Wolverines lost a tremendous shotblocking presence or yeoman rebounder, but I did see a bit of a regression to the mean for John Beilein. Prior to the last couple of seasons, the book on Beilein was that he effortlessly could transform any roster into an offensively efficient one rather quickly, but the defenses would be suspect. Even back to his West [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=btn.com&#038;blog=26303122&#038;post=43739&#038;subd=bigtennetworks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

For about 30 minutes, this was a tight, back-and-forth game, with six lead changes and 14 ties. Over the final 10 minutes, however, the Hoosiers took advantage of the foul-riddled Illini to pull away. Indiana not only got to the foul line at an astounding rate; it also shot incredibly well from there, going 35 of 42 (83 percent). Paired with the Hoosiers&#8217; customary accuracy from the field and a low turnover rate, it powered Indiana to a scorching 1.26 points per possession, the [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=btn.com&#038;blog=26303122&#038;post=42715&#038;subd=bigtennetworks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
