Game Prediction 03/06/08
Penn State has two ways to claim the seventh seed in the Big Ten tournament. One, would to beat Indiana on Sunday and that would give them a seventh place finish in the B10 all by their lonesome. The other would be to wind up in a four way tie with Illinois, Michigan, and Iowa [...]

Two games that look pretty one sided on paper as PSU travels to Madison and Minnesota head to Bloomington. However, the way that Indiana has looked since Sampson departed would suggest that paper doesn’t count tonight. Game Predictions: Wisconsin 73 PSU 54 Indiana 74 Minnesota 66
