Gilman, Brooks Win Conference Titles

... consolation championship. Hopefully he can do that in the frontside in St. Louis in a few weeks. Michael Kemerer — 157 pound runner up. There wasn’t much Kemdawg could do against top-seeded Jason Nolf of Penn State in the finals. He just doesn’t seem to have the horsepower to compete at the Nittany Lion’s level, unfortunately. Anyways, a runner-up finish in his first season on the mat is reason for encouragement. Nice tournament, Kemerer. Joey Gunther — 165 pound did not place. Alex Meyer — 174 pound fifth place. In typical Meyer fashion, the senior had a hiccup early in the tournament, and worked his way through the backside to take fifth place, one spot above his seed. Fingers crossed he’s able to stay in the championship bracket for a longer time at the national tournament. Sammy Brooks — 184 pound Champion. After getting a bit of luck and not having to face Bo Nickal, Brooks put the match out of reach early ...

More often than not over the previous 19 seasons, Tom Izzo was never in the position where he felt he had to start making a case for his team to be included in the NCAA Tournament. Following Saturday’s 63-60 loss at Maryland , Izzo didn’t feel any more at ease at stumping when asked if he believes his team deserves a spot, regardless of what happens at next week’s Big Ten tournament. “I really don’t care and I say that about as honestly as I can,” Izzo said. “I’ve heard nothing about our schedule that we’ve played. We’ve played three No. 1 teams and if I go into that I’m looking to plead. We’re 10-8 and …”. Izzo shifted his tune from there, wondering why the Big Ten is looked at in a negative light this season. He wondered why Virginia loses a game and it’s because the ACC is good when that doesn’t seem to be the case in the Big Ten. “You think it’s easy to go on the road in this conference and win anywhere?” Izzo wondered. “Maybe Penn State is the one place that ...

Maryland made 35 of 67 field-goal attempts, marking the fourth time in five games it has shot at least 52 percent.

Indiana Holds Off Ohio State, Heads Into Big Ten Tourney On High Note

... "We knew it would be a team that's got a lot of offensive firepower. "They're another team that, like us, they're capable of winning against anybody.

Down by 14 at the half, Ohio State came out with a 13-3 burst to start the second half and forced a 64-64 tie on Jae'Sean Tate's layup with just under nine minutes left.

Iowa Falls Late In Big Ten Tournament

... young women who are very capable of scoring,” Ally Disterhoft said. “That’s just basketball for you. Basketball is a game of runs. And they went on a run in that stretch.
