If you thought after Thursday’s games that the Big Ten Tournament was going to be all blowouts you were wrong. Friday afternoon at the Verizon Center Purdue and Michigan played one of the most entertaining games I’ve ever seen. The lead never got higher than 9 by Purdue which was in the waning minutes of the first half. The second half saw a back and forth struggle with Purdue missing chance after to chance to extend the lead and perhaps put Michigan away. Nothing embodied that more than Dakota Mathias missing an easy layup that could’ve put Purdue up 5 points as the regulation ticked away.
