1. Men's Basketball vs OaklandStarts at :53
Everyone said "nice" at the halftime of this game. At first it didn't seem like the results meant much because Oakland looked really bad, but then they went and had a close game against Purdue. How much can you gather about Michigan fromhere? Trey McKenney was 6-8 from three and looked the part. He also had four assists and no turnovers, there were some Darius Morris qualities about him. Do they go with the very big rotation with Yaxel out? Will Tschetter seems to get more minutes when Yaxel is out, would like to see him step up as a four year player. Wake Forest was a bubble team last year and look like one this year, that game will tell us more about Michigan.
2. Previewing Men's Basketball in the Big TenStarts at 21:31
In reverse Kenpom order
Penn State
They're bad.
Rutgers
How is this team even going to score a basket? They have seven teams scheduled in the 200s.
Minnesota
Niko Medved's first year at Minnesota, but the roster does not look good. They'll compete with Rutgers and Penn State for the bottom spot.
Oregon
35th in the preseason but have fallen considerably after a one point win over Hawaii and a four point win over Rice. They have a transfer from Elon, the Oregon NIL budget must be focusing on football.
Maryland
The only Big Ten team with a loss. They shot terribly against Georgetown and were only in it because they scored 30 points off of free throws.
Northwestern
They bring back Nick Martinelli, the guy who makes the worst shots you've ever seen (complimentary). They've blown out Mercyhurst and Boston, which would be impressive if it was hockey. Their center looks like Elvis.
Washington
Very young team starting two freshmen and two sophomores.
Nebrasketball
Sam Hoiberg is still playing a majority of minutes, but at least the mustache is gone. They bring in the Icelandic Unicorn.
Iowa
Ben McCollum's first year. Tavion Banks looked great at Drake last year but will probably hit a wall against the Big Ten.
Ohio State
They beat IU Indianapolis 118-102, eek. They've retained a few players which is a big thing in college basketball now.
Michigan State
More continuity and the best win in the Big Ten so far (69-66 over Arkansas). They're very experienced
