No offense to wrestlers and other athletes, they deserve their time on BTN too. But I'll never understand why hockey isn't prioritized for primetime Friday and Saturday nights. It's the clear second most prominent sport in the conference throughout the winter. The biggest schools in the conference sell tickets and have great atmospheres to showcase. Hockey shouldn't be relegated to BTN Plus.

The second warning on a faceoff results in a delay of game penalty.  The linesman must have issued a dozen warnings to UM in the first and second periods.  I don't know the mechanics well enough to know it was legit, but you could sense the frustration building.  Garbage penalty entirely a #refshow.
