Wisconsin has an opportunity to wrap up the sole possession of the Big Ten regular season championship by knocking off Northwestern in Evanston today.

• Wisconsin 73 Northwestern 54
• Illinois 65 Minnesota 61

Tonight is senior night for Penn State and the rumor mill is that fallen star Geary Claxton will suit up and make a symbolic start. Supposedly an arrangement has been struck where Michigan will allow PSU to win the jump, the refs will call an immediate time out, and Claxton will be removed from the game. If true, it’s a nice gesture by John Beilein’s squad to give the Happy Valley faithful a chance to honor their star on senior night.

In other action, Ohio State needs a win at Minnesota to improve their NCAA hopes. A loss here would jeopardize their chances for an at large bid.

Game Predictions:

• PSU 70 Michigan 67
• Purdue 76 Northwestern 57
• Ohio State 65 Minnesota 64
• Illinois 58 Iowa 54

Northwestern has to have their eye on this game tonight at Michigan as one of their few remaining opportunities to avoid a season whitewashing. Ohio State will be looking to find out if the funk that Indiana played in that kept Northwestern in the game until the end still remains.

Game Predictions:

• Michigan 72 Northwestern 63
• Indiana 69 Ohio State 62

The embattled Hoosiers couldn’t have asked for a better opponent this weekend. Undoubtedly, their minds will be on things other than the game but their raw talent of whomever suits up should overpower Northwestern.

Game Predictions:

• Indiana 77 Northwestern 60
• Illinois 65 Michigan 61
• Michigan State 66 Iowa 53
