In the Big Ten --

Purdue survived Ohio State by 3 points. "Ohio State has as much or maybe more talent than anybody in our league," coach Kristy Curry said. "We feel like we just beat one of the best basketball teams we’ll play all year."

My Gophers got some long-awaited revenge by knocking off Penn State. In front of their biggest crowd ever, the Gophers did everything right. "We showed we can play with the best teams in the country," said Janel McCarville. "And Penn State is up there. . . . They've got everything they need to get to the Final Four. It's a big statement for us to beat them by almost 20."
