For the second straight game, Purdue looked to clinch a title. This time around, Purdue needed a win or Michigan loss to be crowned the solo Big Ten Champions. Michigan – Illinois tipped at 6 PM CT, 2 hours before the Purdue – Wisconsin game, so it was likely Purdue knew their status before their opening tip. Then Michigan and Illinois went into 2 overtimes, but Illinois came out with a victory, clinching the crown for the Boilermakers.
