College Basketball 2011 Big Ten Tournament

It is not the final anyone expected, but after Saturday’s action in the Big Ten tournament, Ohio State will play Penn State on Sunday for the Big Ten championship.

Ohio State defeated Michigan 68-61 on Saturday afternoon in the league's first semifinal. Jared Sullinger was not quite his usual dominant self, but still had beastly moments, scoring 14 points and finishing with 13 rebounds in the victory. Jon Deibler added 16, including two big shots during a 16-0 run in the second half that helped push the Buckeyes lead to 63-45, from which the Wolverines could not come back.
