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

Tonight’s Wisconsin at Indiana matchup represents the closest game that I’ve tracked all year. I have to carry my calculations out to the hundredth decimal point before I get Hoosiers over the Badgers by .03 of a point – I guess that means I’m calling for another overtime game for Eric Gordon and company.

Indiana 63.10 Wisconsin 63.07
