		<description><![CDATA[Derrick Nix is 6-foot-9 and 270 pounds. Save for Nebraska&#8217;s Andre Almeida, Nix is the last guy in the Big Ten that anyone would want falling on him or her. That&#8217;s especially true when the &#8220;her&#8221; is a couple of cheerleaders. Yep, Nix accidentally took out a pair of cheerleaders on the baseline in the first half of Wednesday&#8217;s win over Minnesota. Watch Nix&#8217;s momentum take him out of bounds and the end result now. All I can say is it&#8217;s a good think this was the 270-pound Nix and not the 300-plus pound version from the past. Here are [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=btn.com&#038;blog=26303122&#038;post=101301&#038;subd=bigtennetworks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This may surprise you, but every now and then we say something that really gets fans riled up. The best example of this is our belief that while Aaron Craft is a very good defender, he is not, nor has he ever been, Ohio State’s best defender. And this year, he’s not even the team’s best perimeter defender. Rather than take this as a complement to Ohio State’s collection of outstanding defenders, a lot of people take this as a slight to Craft. Well, today I want to say all sorts of things that I think are true, but I [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=btn.com&#038;blog=26303122&#038;post=97514&#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>

Nix wants to be in better shape for his senior season, and he&#8217;s doing something about it. Something major. He tweeted Tuesday that he will become a vegetarian for the next year. That&#8217;s Aug. 20, 2012 to Aug. 20, 2013. See Nix&#8217;s tweet in this post.
