Big Ten Basketball Mid-Week Results
Brandon Paul and DJ Richardson Has Illinois Flying Into The Top 25
The Big Ten was in full action last night with six teams playing all at home. The in state battle between Wisconsin and Green Bay wasn’t all that competitive with the Badgers routing the cheese heads right from the start. The first week that Illinois has been ranked almost had them drop out with a close scary game at home against St. Bonaventure. Thanks to the backcourt duo of Brandon Paul and D.J Richardson, they both combined for more than half of the team’s points. Michigan State, Purdue, Nebraska all took care of business while Penn St dropped the only Big Ten game of the night losing to Lafayette.
