Purdue Boilermakers
Last time out, Purdue hosted the Maryland Terrapins and escaped with a 58-55 win. This game appeared like it was heading to a blowout as the Boilermakers built a double-digit lead early and led by 14 points at the half. The Terps kept chipping away in the second half but just ran out of time to complete the big comeback. Purdue led by as many as 16 points, never trailed in the game, and could not cover the -9.0-point spread.
Zach Edey had 24 points, 16 rebounds, one assist, and two blocks on the day. Fletcher Loyer added seven points two rebounds, four assists, and one steal in the victory.

Michigan Wolverines
Michigan welcomed the Minnesota Golden Gophers and battled to a 60-56 victory. This was an ugly game to watch as both teams scored just 23 points in the first half, and it was not much better in the second. The Golden Gophers started the game strong, building a big lead, but losing teams find ways to lose and they did just that. Michigan trailed by as much as 10 points, led by nine, and could not cover the -12.0-point spread.
Hunter Dickinson had 23 points, nine rebounds, and one block in the game. Kobe Bufkin added 12 points, four rebounds, one assist, and two steals in the win.
