Big Ten Having an Up and Down Season. Will It Be Traveling in March?

Purdue on top of a rugged battle. Are the Midwestern Giants exhausting themselves before the NCAA tournament spotlight arrives?

RIP, Mike Perricone. A Long-Ago Colleague Gone Too Soon.

A fine hockey writer, Mike was a mentor and a gentleman who discovered there was life after sportswriting.

Two intriguing playoff matchups lead the way. But there will be other games worth watching, no matter what the Doom and Gloomers say.

We have seen the hole in the four-team playoff. Next up: the flaws of the unwieldy 12-team.

The Gould Standard: At Michigan and Northwestern, Unknown Coaches Get It Done.

Wolverines handle Buckeyes, take charge in streaky series. Next up. Rout Iowa for B1G title?

Is Michigan-Ohio State an Elimination Game? Only a Commitee Knows for Sure.

Under the 12-team playoff that starts next year, the Wolverines and Buckeyes both would be playoff locks. So would a bunch of other regular-season also-rans.

It's a shame that Michigan brought turmoil to a triumphant season by embracing an unnecessary advantage.

This week's Michigan-Penn State showdown will be the second leg of the three-game round-robin that includes Ohio State in an otherwise sleepy Big Ten.

The Gould Standard: Despite a Trio of Contenders, Big Ten Needs to Step Livelier.

B1G tracking for two of the four playoff berths. But competitive showdowns are few and far between in what has been a plodding first two months.

The Gould Standard: Can Underdog Wisconsin Give Rugged Buckeyes a Game?

Badgers show backbone at Illinois. Next up is Ohio State, which has been playing tough in absence of offensive fireworks.
