A special Friday morning edition of Steady Droppin' Dimes, Sam Webb and Daniel Horton discussed Michigan's loss to Duke, noting the physicality of the game and the challenges Duke posed with their size and athleticism. Horton emphasized the importance of guard play and the need for Michigan's guards, highlighting the reasons for their struggles versus the Blue Devils, and emphasizing alternate ways they might be effective if they struggle shooting the basketball in future games. Sam and Daniel then previewed Friday night's matchup with Illinois, focusing on the Illini's offensive efficiency and the need for Michigan to defend well and attack the paint. The conversation included viewer feedback, analysis of potential NBA draft picks, and Michigan's ability to overcome weaknesses and adapt offensively and defensively against elite competition.

It came down to the wire, but ultimately Michigan basketball came up just short against Duke on Saturday. So what went for the Wolverines against the Blue Devils? Tony and Andrew open the show by discussing a fun but ultimately disappointing game for Michigan, and why the loss will almost certainly pay dividends when things really matter in March and April. Plus, the guys discuss Michigan's dominant win over Purdue and why it's easily among the best wins of the season in the Big Ten. Last but not least, Tony and Andrew look at the rest of the season for Michigan basketball, including the game on Tuesday, when the Wolverines can lock up a share of the Big Ten regular season title with a victory over the Gophers.

Nach Wochen der Unklarheit haben die Blue Devils Weiden aus der DEL2 einen neuen Trainer: Alan Letang. Fabian Leeb und Max Schlötter konnten bereits mit dem Kanadier sprechen. Wir analysieren seine O-Ton-Aussagen und arbeiten heraus, was auf die Spieler der Blue Devils zukommt und was die Fans vom ehemaligen Eishockey-U-20-Nationaltrainer Kanadas erwarten können. Eines ist dabei klar: Bei nicht gesichertem Klassenerhalt und nur noch sechs Spielen in der Hauptrunde bleibt kaum Zeit für Kennenlernen und Abtasten.

Post-Gazette Pitt insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable react to the Panthers' 70-54 loss to No. 4 Duke on Tuesday night at Petersen Events Center. This show is presented by FanDuel. Were there any positives to take away from the loss? How was Jeff Capel's team able to keep it close with Duke in the first half? How were they able to force turnovers and play tough defense, and what changed as the game went on? Was Roman Siulepa's tight defense on top NBA draft prospect Cameron Boozer a sign he can be a stopper for Pitt? Was Barry Dunning Jr.'s performance (17 points, six rebounds) a sign he can step up with leading scorer Brandin Cummings still out injured? And are we past the point of moral victories this deep into ACC play? Stephen and Abby tackle those topics and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Und wie sieht es bei den anderen DEL2-Teams aus, vor allem beim möglichen Playdown-Gegner Bad Nauheim? Darüber sprechen wir in der aktuellen Folge „Powerplay” mit Tim Heß, dem DEL2-Experten des Eishockey-Fachmagazins „Eishockey News”.

Die Blue Devils Weiden konnten am vergangenen Wochenende nur einen Punkt holen. Im Powerplay-Podcast sprechen wir darüber, warum das Spiel gegen den EHC Freiburg trotz einer 3:0-Führung noch in der Overtime verloren ging. Zudem thematisieren wir die 4:7-Niederlage der Blue Devils in Krefeld, bei der die Weidener trotz guter Leistung am Ende wieder mit leeren Händen dastanden.

Host John Lund recaps Louisville's 31-point loss at Duke on Monday night to fall to 14-6 overall and 4-4 in the ACC, and what head coach Pat Kelsey had to say about the "butt whooping." It was much of the same for the Cardinals against ranked opponents, as the Blue Devils took advantage of UofL's weaknesses and once again left fans with more questions than answers. What can Louisville actually fix? Well, the season is far from over despite what some fans are saying on Twitter, but it's time to re-evaluate some expectations for the final two months of the season.

It is officially the offseason, unfortunately, but just because the confetti has been cleaned up does not mean the conversations about the CFP have stopped. In fact it is quite the opposite. The difference is these conversations are not about what is happening on the field. The debate continues to rage on as commissioners discuss potential expansion of the CFP. Andy Staples and Ross Dellenger discuss what happened in the meetings that were held in the week leading up to the National Championship. The Big Ten and the SEC seem to be at an impasse of how much they want the College Football Playoff to expand. With the deadline fast approaching, no decision appears in sight. Ross explains why these two commissioners hold all the power for this decision.Then, the guys shift from one hot button topic to the next. The transfer portal. Specifically one athlete. Darian Mensah. The Duke quarterback has officially entered the transfer portal even though he has a signed NIL contract with Duke. The Blue Devils are suing Mensah to prevent him from leaving. It is expected he will head to Miami to be their new quarterback. Andy and Ross discuss the differences between this situation and the one with Demond Williams and Washington. They share why it seems like Mensah has a good chance to win this case and how schools can prevent these situations in the future. Plus, they dive into Adidas' potential impact in this situation and their overall aggressive handling of NIL. Also, Duke wide receiver Cooper Barkate has entered the portal as well, with Miami being a favorite to land him too.Later, the big news in college athletics is no longer about football. It is over in the college basketball world as Charles Bediako has temporarily been granted the ability to return to Alabama basketball. There is a hearing next week that will determine whether or not he can return full-time. Bediako previously played at Alabama and entered the 2023 NBA Draft. Although he has never played in the NBA, he has played on multiple Summer League and G League teams. Andy and Ross discuss Bediako being allowed to play college basketball again and the impact this could have on college athletics. The season is over but the news never stops with College Football Enquirer.0:00:00 - Will the CFP expand further?15:40 - Why the Big Ten & SEC hold all the power27:44 - Duke sues Darian Mensah37:48 - Adidas' impact in the NIL space44:08 - Duke WR Cooper Barkate to transfer49:23 - Charles Bediako returns to Alabama53:43 - How Bediako could impact college sports Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:

Host John Lund recaps Duke flipping the script in the second half to come back and beat Louisville, 84-73, and what head coach Pat Kelsey had to say about it. It was a late Christmas for the Cardinals, who came out firing from 3 in the first half and rode the hot hand of Aly Khalifa to build a nine-point lead at halftime. But Duke's halftime adjustments overwhelmed Louisville's, and a new look on defense and more aggressive game plan on offense allowed the Blue Devils to outscore UofL by 20 in the second half. It was another postgame of complaints about Pat Kelsey's second half adjustments and being able to win big games, but are the criticisms actually valid considering the circumstances? It might be a little too early to sound the panic alarm. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Then we head to the SEC, where Georgia put on a vintage Kirby Smart masterclass, shutting down Alabama and punching their ticket to another playoff run.The Big 12 title game saw Texas Tech deliver a statement win over BYU, riding turnovers and a suffocating defense to their first Big 12 Championship in program history.
