Have you been too busy following the Olympics to keep up with the MSU and UM Basketball Teams? Here's what's been going down around the Big Ten during the past couple weeks.

There has been quite an uproar in the Big Ten Basketball standings this month as MSU lost 3 straight, losing their firm hold on the Big Ten Number One Spot. Not only did the Spartans lose three straight, unranked Illinois and No. 13 Ohio State each won five in a row, creating a three-team tie at the top of the Big Ten. Furthermore, No. 6 Purdue, after some early conference losses, is now just a half game behind. No. 11 Wisconsin is currently in fifth place, one game behind the leaders. Luckily, MSU has rebounded, winning several big games, including one at Penn State and is now back in the top spot in the Big Ten Conference.

Now onto the Wolverines...Michigan's DeShawn Sims paces the cluster of Big Ten scoring leaders with 20.9 points per game in Big Ten only contests. Manny Harris is also nearing another career milestone and needs just seven boards to become the 27th Wolverine to register 1,000 points and 500 rebounds in a career. He currently has 1,451 points and 493 rebounds and is the only Big Ten player to rank in the top 15 in points, rebounds, assists and steals in the conference. Teammate DeShawn Sims is also part of the exclusive listing with 1,358 points and 623 rebounds.
