BIG TEN. BIG NEWS.

Micaëlla Riché, Minnesota 6-2, Fr., F, Gloucester, Ontario/Louis Riel This may be Micaëlla Riché’s first year in the Big Ten, but she is not new to playing on a big stage. Over the summer, the 6-2 forward helped the Canadian Junior National U18 team to a bronze medal at the FIBA Americas U18 Tournament in Colorado Springs. In years past, Riché’s Team Ontario U15 and U17 teams won gold and bronze, respectively, at the Canada Games. Riché is the Gophers’ first player from Canada.

BIG LIFE. BIG STAGE. BIG TEN.

Tipoff After three weeks of the new season, four conference teams remain undefeated and two others have dropped just one contest. Last week, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Northwestern, Penn State and Wisconsin each took part in various holiday tournaments with the Hawkeyes and Wildcats enjoying undefeated road trips. Ahead this week, the Big Ten will take part in two challenge events with other conferences. On Wednesday and Thursday, the Big Ten will face the ACC in the fourth annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge, while the Big Ten/Big 12 Challenge will resume on Sunday. This week, 13 conference matchups will be broadcast to a national audience on ESPN2, the Big Ten Network or online at www.bigtennetwork.com. Where We Rank Six Big Ten teams were mentioned in the Associated Press or ESPN/USA Today Coaches polls, including three among the top 25. The Buckeyes moved up to No. 6 this week in both polls, Iowa jumped to No. 18 in the AP and ESPN/USA Today rankings, and Michigan State is ranked No. 25 by both polling services. Northwestern, Penn State, and Purdue are also receiving votes outside the top 25 in one or both polls this week. Keeping the Streak Going Ohio State senior Jantel Lavender entered her final season having scored in double-figures in each game she has played in during her career. That streak has continued thus far in 2010-11, as she has now scored 10 or more points in 107 straight contests – the longest active streak in the nation.
