Conference Scoreboard

Quick Take

With Purdue's 65-61 win over Ohio State, the Boilermakers claim the Big Ten title and the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.

Michigan State, Illinois and the Buckeyes can also punch their tickets to the Big Dance, but the questions is who else is going? Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin are likely ... and then there is Penn State. They have six victories vs. teams in the RPI top 50, but their power numbers are weak because of one of the nation's worst non-conference schedules. And a victory over Indiana in the first round did little to help their RPI and SOS because the Hoosiers rank outside the RPI top 200.

Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis was tournament host.
