Michigan made Indiana uncomfortable while facing full-court pressure, stayed in front of the Hoosiers in half-court defense, and challenged shot after shot.

Michigan would clinch the Big Ten regular season title on Saturday with a win and an Illinois loss at Wisconsin (2:00 p.m.).

– The best celebrator on Michigan State’s basketball team finally got a chance to let loose a little late on Saturday. That bench’s angry yelling of the opening 10 minutes – when Michigan State once again looked ill-prepared and disorganized as it fell behind by 13 points to Indiana – had given way to delirium as Michigan State closed out an eventual 78-71 win over the Hoosiers. As Michigan State went on a 22-6 run in one of its best stretches of the season, players shook chairs, banged on tables and chanted to cheer on the onslaught. In previous games this season, Michigan State has fallen behind by double digits in the first half and seen that deficit grow to 20 or more. Michigan State has vowed to take a game-at-a-time approach to what’s become one of the most trying seasons of Tom Izzo’s career.

The Spartans fought back from a double-digit second half deficit to beat Indiana, 78-71, on Saturday afternoon.

Those efforts helped offset those from Indiana sophomore forward Trayce Jackson-Davis, who scored 34 points. The Spartans overcame double-digit deficits in both halves, as early turnovers and frontcourt defensive struggles led to early frustration.

The Indiana-Purdue rivalry game has been canceled again. It will be the first time in-state rivals have not met in a football season since the Spanish flu pandemic forced cancellations in 1918 and 19. Now, their rivalry game for the Old Oaken Bucket has been canceled for the second time in two weeks — and the third time this season. “As we stated last week, we know the history and tradition of this great rivalry game and how much it means to our current students, alumni and fans," they said Tuesday. The Hoosiers haven't won a bowl game since 1991 and Allen believes that would be a good way to wrap up a historic season.

When it comes to awarding the Old Oaken Bucket, the Big Ten went 0 for 2 in 2020. For the second straight week, Indiana and Purdue mutually agreed to cancel their game due to COVID-19 issues. It also means that only the Big Ten’s opening week in October went off as scheduled. Both universities worked extremely hard in an effort to play, but at this time it just isn’t possible. The original plan was for a “championship week,” but the conference opted to attempt to preserve some rivalries that had been canceled this fall.

— Michigan’s football team saw its defense sputter for a second straight week on Saturday, an alarming trend that players say is correctable. “We just know that everything — all the problems that we’re having — are just simple fixes,” linebacker Michael Barrett told reporters after the game. “But small things that we know to do, and things we know not to do. Cornerback Vincent Gray was picked on by Michigan State and Indiana, while the Wolverines' other starting corner, Gemon Green, is just getting his feet wet playing defensive back at the college level. Hutchinson came out of Saturday’s game with an injury and never returned, forcing Michigan to look elsewhere for help.

— Jim Harbaugh issued a public vote of confidence for his coaching staff and players on Saturday, even as Michigan football team dropped its second straight game in similar fashion. For the second straight week, an opponent took to the air early and often and had a career day doing it. Both Penix and Fryfogle recorded career days, like Michigan State receiver Ricky White had last week. (Then) they get that confidence.”Like last week, defensive coordinator Don Brown did his best to curb the attack. Asked about Don Brown, whose pressure-oriented defense doesn’t look so fast and effective these days, Harbaugh says he still has confidence in his 65-year-old defensive coordinator.

23 Michigan 38-21 on Saturday for its first victory against the Wolverines in 33 years. Their second consecutive loss could turn up the pressure on coach Jim Harbaugh in his sixth season at Michigan. Indiana: The Hoosiers answered some questions about their ability to contend for a division title or conference championship. Indiana: After beating their first top-10 foe in 33 years, the Hoosiers made their second Top 25 appearance since 1994. Now, after dominating the Wolverines, Indiana could be headed toward its first top-10 ranking since September 1969.

Michigan dropped its second straight game on Saturday, a 38-21 loss to No. Before Saturday, Michigan had won 24 straight games — an impressive streak that began in 1988 and spanned three decades. Meanwhile, a shorthanded and one-dimensional Michigan offense struggled to string together successful drives. A convincing season-opening win at Minnesota offered promise of a rejuvenated Michigan offense, one that some outside observers thought had turned a corner and would rely on its athleticism and receivers more than ever before. Eight plays later, Indiana running back Stevie Scott (24 carries, 97 yards) scored his second touchdown of the game.

Indiana quarterback Michael Penix has completed 22 of his 32 pass attempts, including five throws of 20 yards or more. Three of them have been to receiver Ty Fryfogle, who had two long catches in the Hoosiers' second touchdown drive. Fryfogle has seven catches for 142 yards and a touchdown in the first two quarters. Quarterback Joe Milton is 4 of 13 for 96 yards and a touchdown, while Michigan’s running game has totaled 15 yards on 13 carries. The Wolverines have 111 yards of total offense and are 0-for-6 on third down.

— Michigan’s football team will look to bounce back from its first loss of the season, but it will have to do it without two starting offensive linemen. Mayfield departed last weekend’s loss to Michigan State with an undisclosed lower-body injury. Expect Andrew Stueber to slide over from right guard to fill the right tackle spot, with redshirt freshman Zak Zinter getting the start at right guard. We’ve seen Honigford used as a sixth offensive linemen in the first two games, a role that could certainly be utilized again in run-blocking situations today. • After rolling with two quarterbacks in their first road game, Michigan has four in uniform today: Joe Milton and Cade McNamara, along with true freshman Dan Villari and walk-on Ren Hefley.

The 23rd-ranked Wolverines will look to put the loss to Michigan State over the weekend in the rear-view mirror on Saturday, when they travel to Bloomington, Indiana, to play higher-ranked Indiana. 13 in the country, but they’re off to a 2-0 start that includes an overtime win over Penn State. * Speaking of the loss, offensive coordinator Josh Gattis chimed in with his thoughts during a radio appearance this week. Will it have linebackers Cam McGrone and Josh Ross? “I expect him to be battling back (this) week,” Harbaugh said.

Obviously, we could have handled it better and I could have handled it better," Penn State coach James Franklin said.

A big winter storm packing high wind, ice and heavy snow caused major disruptions for travelers returning from the Thanksgiving holiday at airports across the United States. As of Monday morning, 338 flights were canceled and more than 1,500 were delayed, according to flight-tracking website Flightaware.com. Some arriving flights into New York's LaGuardia Airport and Boston Logan International Airport were delayed two hours and more than three hours at Newark Liberty International Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
