Three teams tied for first atop the Big Ten last season: Maryland, Michigan State and Wisconsin.
On Jan. 10, 2020, the Terrapins flew to Iowa City and got rolled in an 18-point loss to the Hawkeyes. On Jan. 12, 2020, the Spartans traveled to West Lafayette and fell in a 29-point defeat to Purdue. On Jan. 24, 2020, the Badgers went to West Lafayette and got drilled in a 19-point loss to the Boilermakers, and two weeks later they went to Minneapolis and got whooped in an 18-point loss to the Golden Gophers.
In the Big Ten, double-digit-point losses can happen.
