Today's B1G Matchups (1-19-17)

There's a BTN double header:

Michigan (4-1) @ Maryland (5-0) (Thome versus Jones will be must see)
Purdue (3-2) @ Indiana (2-3) (Key game for the Hoosiers)


And two games on Btn2go:

Wisconsin (0-5) @ Ohio State (5-1) (Buckeyes attempt to get reorganized)
Nebraska (1-5) @ Penn State (2-4)

Nothing spectacular or very intriguing, but you're right.. "must win" game for Indiana and good matchup between Jones and Thome. Jones is such a solid, dependable player. Nothing flashy, but great shooting percentage. She's really improved in her years at Maryland. Jones, Thome and Gustafson the best 3 bigs in the BIG? I think so. (I consider Coffey to be a PF.)

Of note in last night's games:

Attempting to avoid another slow start, Kevin McGuff altered the Buckeyes starting lineup. Doss and Cooper were replaced by Hart and Lewis. The other three starters remained: Mavunga, Mitchell and Calhoun. Ohio State prevailed 70-61. The Buckeyes had a good start but an indifferent finish.

Maryland and Michigan were tied 61 all before the Terps' Gillespie tossed in a running, buzzing beating, three pointer giving Maryland a 64-61 lead entering the fourth quarter. It was all Maryland to the 83-70 finish. Thome helped the Wolverines storm off to a good start; but then she got seniored by Jones and was in early foul trouble.
