No Sam today. Dusty shirt is maize; get it before we play MSU again. Things Discussed: Men's & Women's Basketball win at Breslin: 40 basketball wins. Jeremy Fears's instant karma for his dirty play. Impossible not to see all the extra stuff that guy does when you rewatch the games: yankbacks, pulldowns, more trips. Ira counted 80 yards in penalties and a targeting. MSU game: Brilliant defensive first half, all MSU could do consistently was get to the free throw line. Calling out their dirty play goes right to their heart because it's the best thing they can do. Going 2-3 zone out of halftime made good tactical sense but ball betrayed them a bit, good resilience to fight back. More tactics: Michigan was getting it down to Mara but he's not big enough on the block to make that. McKenney love: He's played his way to Michigan's best two—Burnett and Gayle are losing minutes to him. Anticipates screens, is big, and his midrange pullups are a good floor for possessions that help you against an elite defense. Really important for what this team needs to be going forward. Who's M's best draft pick? We'd take Morez. Who's the best five? Depends on opponent and context. Might not play Mara vs a 5-out team, can go three bigs against an MSU-like opponent. Who's the best team in the Big Ten? Illinois. They go to Breslin and host Michigan but the rest of their schedule are the mids Michigan already played, they got the best player in the league from the composite 250s in Wagler—worst scouting miss in history? Hope Underwood calls out MSU's assist lies so Wagler gets his laurels for his real assists. Michigan next year? Might only have to replace Yaxel (McKenney and Cason take Gayle and Burnett minutes), can go to the portal for a difference-maker and run it back. Penn State preview: They have Mingo back but Yuric played out of his mind last time and think he's not coming back from a 103-degree fever on Saturday to play like that again. Have a bunch of questionable guys tonight. Think University Park atmosphere is similar to Saline 7th Grade Middle School game. WEAR PINK (I can't; I don't have any). What's the reverse Dusty May for Izzo? Sing he's a jolly good fellow, or bring out the newspapers. Hockey: MSU series could be for the conference since Wisconsin is wilting and Penn State just lost McKenna to a bar fight. Michigan needs to get more than a split because MSU has Minnesota, Notre Dame, and Ohio State left, and Michigan still has to play the other contenders. Put me down for this: Mick Cronin is going to complain about Michigan buying players when he comes to Ann Arbor. Craig says he'll dog his own players.

Michigan Baseball is busy preparing for its 2026 season, which begins at the star-studded College Baseball Series from February 13-16 in Surprise, Arizona. This week on Conqu'ring Heroes, Head Coach Tracy Smith provides an update on the complexion of his roster, his team's preparations for the season, and the depth of the Big Ten.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

-Most views of Nebraska in B1G circles are impressed with the overall team, but no there's no true superstar---Pryce Sandfort isvery good but not a surefire NBA player and is seen as a 2 nd team All-B1G player as of right now-Rienk Mast was seen as a first-team All-B1G player for a while but has dropped off that line…if this team is to win its first evergame and go beyond that, do they have the type of build without a superstar who can take the game over?

IU completed one of the greatest turnarounds in college football history, defeating the Miami Hurricanes football to win a national championship. Just two years earlier, Indiana was 3–9 and written off. Under head coach Curt Cignetti, the Hoosiers went 16–0, won the Big Ten, and produced Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza.For Dr. Phil, a former college football player, this story hits home. It's proof that discipline, belief, leadership, and standards not excuses are how underdogs become champions. We can all be great. Thank you to our sponsor!

1 Hour and 58 Minutes With David Nasternak and Alex Drain This Podcast Has a Sponsor: Michigan Law Grad Jonathan Paul is the guy with the C you want skating next to the ref and pleading your case. He's also a good guy to sit next to at the hockey games. Segment 1: Hockey vs Ohio State Alex has some curling takes. Game 1 was a barn burner. Game 2 was the opposite of that. Game 1 had a lot of goals and Peck didn't have the best control of rebounds. Ohio State isn't going to make the tournament so you could say Michigan escaped this weekend. Ohio State doesn't have goal scorers and yet they manage to score goals. The ice is not good quality in Columbus. Should goalies be fair game outside of the crease? Peck has some puck tracking issues. Saving 32 of 34 shots in game two is pretty good though, he gave you a chance. You need to score more than two regulation goals against a bad Ohio State team.    Segment 2: Around the League Providence is somehow 6th in NPI? Michigan could possibly draw them as a 2 seed. Bentley is sitting at 26 but could be a first round matchup. RPI is Not Good. Notre Dame is only getting ties against Bowling Green, but this was probably an improvement for the Irish. It feels like Penn State has hit their ceiling. The Big Ten is very top heavy but the bad teams are bad. Alarm bells in Madison. What's Michigan's gameplan need to be to get past Michigan State? The Friday night game is on FS1! Bonus Segment: Olympics Preview Begins at 1:12:44   MUSIC NHL on ESPN Theme "Knights" -- Minus the Bear "Nothing More" -- Guards Ice Hockey (NES) theme

Indiana fell to USC 81-75 in Los Angeles, closing out a grueling West Coast road trip with a flat performance two days after their emotional double-overtime victory over UCLA. Despite battling back from an 11-point second-half deficit to have a chance late, the Hoosiers shot just 28.6% from three-point range and got only 11 combined points from Nick Dorn and Tucker DeVries as physical and mental fatigue seemed to catch up with them. The loss drops Indiana to 15-8 overall and 6-6 in Big Ten play.Jerod Morris and Ryan Phillips break down the disappointing but somewhat expected letdown:Lamar Wilkerson's heroic 33-point performance carrying Indiana offensively when no other Hoosier reached double figures, continuing his remarkable stretch that's put him squarely in first-team All-Big Ten considerationWhy the shooting struggles (Dorn 2-of-12 from three, DeVries 1-of-9 from the field) were symptoms of tired legs after playing deep into double overtime Saturday—flat shots rattling halfway down and out instead of droppingThe critical moments when Indiana needed to adjust away from settling for perimeter shots against USC's length and shot-blocking (11th nationally in block percentage) but continued forcing threesHow USC's Alijah Arenas made the plays of the game, hitting key shots to turn momentum when Indiana cut the deficit to four in the second halfTayton Conerway's return to action showing encouraging burst and driving ability in 10 minutes, raising questions about the optimal starting lineup moving forward with Dorn playing so wellWhy this loss stings less than most of Indiana's eight defeats this year—the mentality shift in this program where they fight for 40 minutes even without their A-gameThe all-important homestand ahead against Wisconsin and Oregon that will determine whether this road trip represents progress or a missed opportunityPlus, as always: the big moments you might have missed, stats that stood out, and our game ball and hustle award.This episode brought to you by the Back Home Network and Homefield Apparel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

College Football top 25 discussion is here for the 2026 season. On Josh Pate’s College Football Show Ep 710 Josh Pate discussed the placement of Indiana and Miami fresh off their national title matchup. What about Oregon, Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State in the Big Ten? Where are teams like Texas, Alabama, UGA, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and Florida in the SEC? Speaking of the SEC, tonight we go over the SEC schedule including Florida having a more workable path and LSU facing a tough road. What do we think about the current state of College Football and whether it makes any sense to compare the CFP to college basketball. Josh also gets called out for defending Dabo Swinney after recent allegations of tampering. The Mood Tracker segment continues tonight with a look at Mike Norvell and FSU. All that plus the cautionary lesson all of us could learn from attending a showing of The Housemaid.

FOX Sports' lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt breaks down the Big Ten's schedule release and gives out his winners and losers of the conference's “schedule lottery.” He explains which under-the-radar teams' schedule could propel them to a big season and which schedules will force teams to fight to stay above water. He then ranks his top 5 games for the upcoming season as teams like Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon, Indiana, Penn State and USC all set for key matchups in the conference. Klatt gives his analysis of Ohio State's hiring of Arthur Smith as the new OC and what it means for Ryan Day and the Buckeye offense as well as USC's hiring of former TCU Head Coach Gary Patterson to lead the Trojan defense this upcoming season. He wraps up the show by looking at the tampering problem in college football after Miami got Duke QB Darian Mensah at the 11th hour of the Portal window and Dabo Swinney went off on Ole Miss for convincing one of his players to enter the Portal. 0:00-2:58 Intro2:59-7:38 Biggest takeaways from the Big Ten schedule release7:39-14:32 Klatt's easiest schedules in the Big Ten14:33-25:15 Klatt's hardest schedules in the Big Ten25:16-32:40 5 games that will decide the Big Ten32:41-38:41 Ohio State hires new offensive coordinator38:42-41:04 USC hires new defensive coordinator41:05-54:17 Dabo Swinney calls out Ole Miss for tampering Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together discussing the major shakeup on the defensive side of the ball for the Trojans, with Gary Patterson coming in as the new defensive coordinator, Paul Gonzales from Baylor to come in and help coach the secondary and former TCU safety Sam Carter from Louisiana Tech for a role on the staff as well. Coach Hyde gives his thoughts on what we learned from Patterson's introductory press conference, including his issue with Lincoln Riley not staying up on stage after introducing Patterson to the media. He also gives his thoughts on USC's 2026 schedule, with only 11 games as of now after Notre Dame came off the schedule. The Trojans play all three Big Ten playoff teams from last season and have two bye weeks with some extra rest in the middle of the season.

The Big Ten's commissioner, Tony Petitti, spent much of this season trying to do two things: 1) Expand the Playoff to his liking, and 2) Get his member schools to sign a big private capital deal. Neither happened, and the conference now appears to have wasted a lot of time off the field even as it was winning a third-straight national championship on it. Matt Brown of the tremendous Extra Points newsletter and document library joins Alex and Richard to talk about these misadventures, in particular: * How Petitti has made himself the sport's main bureaucratic villain, taking a role that SEC commissioner Greg Sankey may have seen as his birthright* Why a lot of the Big Ten wanted this private capital deal * Why it didn't ultimately come together, despite those wishes* The one actual good reason for wanting the deal, explained by Matt * Why Rutgers' finances are so bad You can read Matt several times every week by subscribing to his Extra Points newsletter. We are both happy subscribers, along with most conference commissioners, countless athletic directors, and anyone else who cares about being informed on the off-field movements shaping college football. SZD paying subscribers will hear a lot more from Matt later this week He'll join us on a subscriber episode to discuss Playoff non-expansion, the state of the football calendar, the NCAA's stalled (?) efforts to get an antitrust exemption from Congress, the eligibility crisis in multiple sports, the race to fund excess NIL money on top of the House settlement, and the topic that's always on all of our minds: basketball video game licensing.

Men's Basketball vs Michigan State Starts at 0:51 Where's Tre Holloman at?? Michigan's first victory at Breslin since 2018. They managed to blow all of their 16 point halftime lead but only briefly. This year didn't have the same "helplessness" vibe of previous years. The grifting from Jeremy Fears was incredible. Michigan State's offense ended up being generating bogus calls and then hitting free throws. Their roster doesn't have the best athletes in the world but they have guys that have stuck around for a while. Trey McKenney is becoming a much bigger piece of this team, if Michigan goes on a tournament run it could be because he steps up as a major contributor. Is he the 6th man? They're running a lot of offense through Mara, maybe that should be going through Morez Johnson instead. Michigan is back to #1 in Kenpom and is projected to win the Big Ten outright but the end of the schedule is very tough.  2. Men's Basketball vs Nebraska Starts at 29:17 The vibes here were considerably worse! Nebraska was getting an alarming amount of open looks. Michigan wins by shooting what felt like 70% from two. Some of Cadeau's turnovers were just inexplicable. We can't pronounce Berke's name so he's just Berke Boyband. The studies say that every conspiracy theory you have about officiating is true. Pass blocking is not actually allowed in basketball. Nebraska is legit, this was a tough game that Cadeau almost gave away. Shout out to Fred Hoiberg for coming in with a great gameplan for confusing Michigan. The overturn on the challenge made no sense, how was that possibly clear? Should Michigan be going inside more when the threes aren't dropping? Michigan was missing open threes. They beat a top 10 Kenpom team while shooting 23% from three, that's impressive no matter what. Was LJ Cason unplayable?  3. Hot Takes and Hockey vs Ohio State Starts at 52:18 Takes hotter than Yaxel Lendeborg at the free throw line. Michigan gets five of six points over Ohio State in a frustrating manner. Stephen Peck played a great game on Saturday until the last five minutes. They're missing points here and there against teams that they're better than. Wisconsin somehow went from #1 to might miss the tournament. Michigan State is only one point behind in the Big Ten rankings.  4. Gimmicky Top Five Sports Villains Starts at 1:14:40 We're born haters so it's time for a gimmicky top five sports villains. There are a surprising number of ways to define "villain" in this context. There's a lot of NHL discourse because you used to just get paid to hurt people. Which Big Ten commissioners make the list (spoiler: all of them). Not posting spoilers here but yes there is a certain Wisconsin basketball player.

Monday's 7am hour of Mac & Cube began with a look at the recent Transfer Portal movement and an explanation as to why teams are taking seemingly lesser talent; then, Paul Finebaum, from the SEC Network, tells us why he doesn't expect the SEC & Big Ten to start policing themselves, if bringing back Bediako was worth it for Alabama, and if the CSC is something we need to take seriously; and later, which would you rather watch - Every single Royal Rumble event or every single Grammys performance.

Indiana survived a chaotic double overtime thriller at Pauley Pavilion, defeating UCLA 98-97 after blowing a 10-point lead in the final 1:34 of regulation and battling through two overtime periods without a true point guard.

Nebraska fans finally get the official 2026 football schedule, and on Episode 3 of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka waste no time breaking down what it really means: this thing is a gauntlet. They debate how much the order of games matters (Rob's “one game at a time” mindset vs. the reality of how fans live and die with back-to-back matchups), then land on a blunt early takeaway: five wins might be the expectation, and seven should be celebrated considering the slate. The guys walk through the opening stretch (including why North Dakota could be sneakier than people think), the early Big Ten swing at Michigan State, and the brutal middle chunk featuring heavyweights like Indiana, Oregon, and Washington. From there, the conversation turns into a larger debate about modern roster building, how portal “rankings” can be fool's gold, why production matters more than stars, and why recruiting services seem to magically boost ratings the second a player commits to a blueblood. It's funny, cynical, and painfully familiar to anyone who's followed college football for more than five minutes. The back half hits two hot-button topics: Mike Eckler leaving for USC and what it means for Nebraska's special teams momentum, and then the one that gets Rob fully fired up, Nebraska adding women's flag football instead of women's wrestling. Rob doesn't hold back, and the episode ends with an all-time closing statement: “Flag football is not football.” Watch on YouTube, drop your takes in the comments, and buckle up… because 2026 isn't for the faint of heart.
