The Big 10 continued to turn last night.

Perhaps the biggest surprise was in Ann Arbor. Going into their game against Purdue, the Wolverines were 9-1. So it is not shocking they were able to win. What is surprising is the score...72-36. The win broke an eight year, 18 game losing streak to the Boilers that went back to 2000.

Purdue got off to a slow start, and never recovered. And Coach Versyp is not sure why. "I thought we were very well prepared and totally focused. I can't really give you an answer other than we got our butts really waxed tonight." The balanced offensive attack and stifling defense by the Wolverines even got their coach to do something he rarely does - sit down during a game.

In Columbus, the Buckeyes moved a step closer to another regular season crown by taking down the Hawkeyes 69-56. Ohio State led by as many as 19, before Iowa closed within 10 points in the second half. But super frosh Jantel Lavender wasn't worried. "It never crossed my mind that we would lose the game. We just had to fix some of the little things we were doing." Lavender and Ashlee Trebilcock paced OSU with 18 points a piece.

In the other games, Michigan State won their fourth in a row and kept Northwestern winless in league play. The Illini took care of the ball, got it to Jenna Smith and handed the Lady Lions their eight loss in a row.
