First place in the big tent is on the line.

The Michigan Wolverines and the Purdue Boilermakers.

Of course, Michigan State is right there in that conversation as well.

Michigan is going to have a couple of matchups with Michigan State starting in,

what about, starting in 10 days, in fact, starting in exactly 10 days.

Two matchups with Michigan State, the 21st of February here in Ann Arbor and the last game of the season up in East Lansing.

But tonight, it's a big slate of games in the Big Ten.

You have the Purdue at Michigan game.

UCLA is at Illinois in a big game for that next part.

When you're looking at the standings, obviously we're having this Michigan-Purdue

conversation for the top of the standings.

But the next group, that next cluster includes UCLA and Illinois.

So that's a big game in that cluster.

That game tips off tonight at 8 o'clock, also on peacock.

At 9 o'clock on peacock, it's a big peacock night for college basketball in the Big 10.

Indiana, we know they're kind of a mess, but they did give Michigan a fight in their last game at 9 o'clock.

They're going to be at Michigan State. Not expecting that one to be all that close when all said

and done. There are two other games in the Big Ten tonight. Penn State at, Penn State at USC is at

9 o'clock and Northwesterns at Oregon at 10 o'clock.

But looking a little deeper at Michigan State in particular, they've got a few biggies coming up because this is their stretch of games coming up.

So we talk about closing stretches for Michigan and we're going to be looking at Michigan a lot.

Obviously, there are a team, but also at Purdue.
