1. Hoops vs Minnesota (the bad one)
starts at 1:00
Michigan gets the Barn. I guess Eli Brooks really does matter to this team. Twenty turnovers. We keep saying these two things, basically.
The rest of the writeup and the player after The Jump]
2. Hoops vs Wisconsin (the good one)
starts at 19:39
Hoooooooly hoops. Mike Smith won’t back down. Eli Brooks shut you down. Isaiah Livers energy man and finding his role again. Chaundee Brown miserable to go against. Franz…oh man Franz is the freakiest freak show ever, in line for a badge upgrade on D. Dickinson broke Reuvers.
3. Big Ten Hoops
starts at 38:24
Nebrasketball and State are out for COVID concerns so just a few games to round up, and fewer that matter. Brian stans for Iowa, which they’re Iowa why are you getting into a shootout with them, Northwestern? Ohio State on an incredible luck streak. Rutgers on the receiving end of that luck streak. Penn State-Purdue was mostly entertaining for the Beilein memories.
4. Hot Takes, Hockey, and WBB
starts at 1:09:25
Good hot takes, hockey swept OSU and it felt good, though special teams still feel unspectacular. WBB blew out the bottom of the conference.
MUSIC:

As a Guamanian myself, I just wanted to point out that nobody there says, "in Guam," but rather, "on Guam." Reading it the other way was just as jarring as seeing my island mentioned on MGoBlog. I'll hang up and listen.

Surprised it is Guamanian rather than Guamian. I guess no less surprising than Michigander.

Guamanian sounds better.

So are you Chamorro? I spent a year there back in 91-92. I was at the Marine Barracks up in Dededo. I had some fun times on that island. Good memories

Wisconsin: Go Blue!
Minnesota: Where'd ya go, Blue?

My homer take is that Juwan is absolutely deserving of the Coach of the Year. Everyone expected Iowa to be good and they are, where was Michigan expected to be? Anywhere close to this? With the turnover they had? I'd say Howard's easily done a better job so far this year. Now if Iowa marches to a title then fine, but otherwise it's Howard easily to me.

If you don't think "Canadian" is a separate language in and of itself, then you haven't been paying attention.
