The Big Ten had three teams advance to the NCAA tournament's Second Round Thursday, and they each did it without dropping a set. Purdue, Michigan and Wisconsin are all moving on.
Purdue got the evening off to a good start with a 26-24, 25-21, 25-13 home win over Iowa State. It marked the 11th straight trip to the NCAA Second Round for the Boilers, where they will face No. 15 Missouri Friday.
