Noteworthy games

The win over Purdue on December 8 was the program's first win over a Big Ten team in nearly 15 years.

The January 26 win over Northern Illinois set several NCAA defensive records, including lowest field goal percentage allowed in a half since the implementation of the shot clock (3.2%), fewest points allowed in a half (4 points), and lowest field goal percentage allowed in a game (13.1%).[6]

gollark: Surely most people *have* experienced batteries in, say, TV remotes running out.

gollark: There was an art thing on display at my school where someone had made some on wood using a conductive solution of some sort.

gollark: Would chainmail work?

gollark: And most people here are probably not watching styro do, I don't know... celebrity things, but interesting sciency content.

gollark: On the one hand, it might be interesting, but on the other hand... tiktok.
