This weekend has been full of upsets and poor play by the Big Ten. Illinois ran into a very hot Loyola and Sister Jean, OSU got beat by Oral Roberts who also upset Florida and on its way to the Sweet 16. Iowa, Maryland, and Michigan are the only 3 Big Ten teams out of 9 left and they haven't played their second round games yet.
Whether we are talking about Michigan Football or Basketball, the Wolverines seem to struggle against athletic teams. LSU is one of those teams. They have talent (mostly paid for) but have lacked defense this year.
