Indiana's Double-Digit Lead Fades in 72-68 Loss to Northwestern

Indiana led by double digits at home but could not close, falling 72-68 to Northwestern as the Wildcats dominated the boards and controlled the game in the second half. IU shot just 8-for-26 after halftime (2-for-12 from three) and had limited contributions beyond Tayton Conerway, while Nick Martinelli surged to 28 points overall (21 in the second half). The Hoosiers’ defense remains under strain in Big Ten play, leaving three regular-season games to address consistency and finish.

Michigan Clinches at Least a Big Ten Share With 77-67 Win Over Minnesota

No. 3 Michigan beat Minnesota 77-67 to secure at least a share of the Big Ten regular-season title, improving to 26-2 overall and 16-1 in conference play. Six takeaways: Michigan steadied after recent rebounding/paint concerns, but defensive lapses persist; Elliot Cadeau bounced back with 15 points, five assists and four rebounds; reserve guard L.J. Cason continued to prove himself with 14 points and five rebounds; Trey McKenney showed continued growth with 12 points on 4-for-8 from three; next up is a showdown with No. 10 Illinois with a chance to clinch the outright title, though the defense will need to stay dialed in for a national championship run.

Coaching Carousel Heats Up: High-Major Jobs to Watch This Offseason

With the regular season ending, the men’s college basketball coaching carousel is heating up as high-major programs assess changes. Kansas State’s early move has set the tone, but most moves are expected at mid- or bottom-tier high-major jobs rather than the sport’s top gigs. Sports Illustrated lists hot seats (Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Providence, Boston College, Arizona State, LSU, Cincinnati, Oklahoma, Georgia Tech, Ohio State, Wake Forest, Memphis), coaches likely to stick (Georgetown, North Carolina, South Carolina, Rutgers, Notre Dame), and retirement-watch candidates (Altman, Barnes, Boyle, Few, Grant, Izzo, McDermott, Self). It also notes open jobs (Kansas State, San Diego, Air Force, Tarleton State, Cal State Bakersfield, North Florida) and other watch cases like Jake Diebler, Steve Forbes, Penny Hardaway, and Thad Matta as the cycle unfolds.

Kansas Freshman Darryn Peterson confronts scrutiny over missed games
