While the B1G Ten season closes in for both hockey and basketball, things are getting contentious. Minnesota holds a 2 point lead in hockey over UW, those seem to be the clear favorites now for the B1G Ten. For basketball, Michigan and Ohio State stand alone in our eyes as the teams to beat out of the B1G Ten. Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin are still very much in the mix. As free agent season heats up, so does the heat for the Packers to find a missing piece. We chat about latest NFL free agent, JJ Watt. It’d be a tough signing for the Packers but it’s not impossible.
