MINNEAPOLIS - Tyler Griffey capped a terrific week for Illinois with 16 points, and the Fighting Illini went 11 for 23 from 3-point range in a 57-53 win over No. 18 Minnesota on Sunday night.
Tyler Griffey's reemergence coincided with Illinois' reemergence, a fact that's most likely not coincidence.

No, nothing makes sense in college basketball this season. After another crazy week in the Big Ten, the Golden Gophers start an important stretch of three potentially winnable games. There is a catch of course, and that is their first two opponents, Illinois and Wisconsin, beat the two best teams in the country this week. The Iowa game is on the road, and the Hawkeyes are more...

It’s become a horrifying staple of the Tubby Smith tenure. Start hot, get ranked, win a nice game in the Big Ten … and promptly collapse. Before last night’s heart-wrenching loss to Illinois it was unclear whether or not the Gophers were experiencing the same type of collapse that has accompanied the last two years [...]

There were eight losses for six top-10 teams. No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 all went down. A total of 14 schools in the Top 25 had at least one loss.
All in one wild week for college basketball.
''It's a crazy season, man,'' Illinois forward Tyler Griffey said. ''It is a crazy, crazy season.''
No kidding.

MINNEAPOLIS Seemingly every night in the Big Ten, there's a big shot or a thrilling finish.
Saturday, it was Wisconsin taking down No. 3 Michigan in overtime thanks in part to a last-second halfcourt shot. Two days earlier, it was unranked Illinois knocking off the top-ranked Indiana Hoosiers on a wide-open layup at the buzzer by Tyler Griffey.
Now, the No. 18 Gophers get...

There’s just no time to relax in the Big Ten.
The Hoosiers were reminded of that the hard way on Thursday night, squandering a 14 point lead to an inferior Illinois team, and ultimately losing at the buzzer, 74-72.

It started with a Tyler Griffey slip and open layup in Champaign. With that bucket, capping off a late Illini surge, the Hoosiers dropped their second conference game and continued the streak of #1 being knocked off for several weeks straight.
That loss, paired with Ohio State’s loss in Ann Arbor on Tuesday night, made both teams incredibly hungry and desperate to keep pace heading...
