We flip our calendars to November and change our clocks in preparation for the home stretch of Big Ten Play. Week ten was a relatively quiet weekend, with the biggest news emerging from Lincoln.

The Wisconsin Badgers are facing off against the No. 24 Washington Huskies this weekend, taking on yet another ranked opponent amid their six-game losing streak. It’s been a tough ride for the Badgers over the last two months, as they’ve yet to win a conference game this year, while losing all six of their last […]
Mark Pope was so distraught after Kentucky lost 84-70 to Georgetown in their second exhibition game that he resembled Coach Herb Brooks in the movie “Miracle,” after Team USA lost 10-3 to the Soviet Union in a friendly prior to the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid. That’s how much he cares about this team, […]

The 2025 campaign has not been pretty for either side entering this contest, which is set to kick off the conference’s weeknight slate.

Monkeys. No, I don’t mean the cute ones who invade the screens of Friends and Outbreak (though those were as dangerous as they were cute). Nor do I mean the winged ones who wreaked havoc on Dorothy and her friends in The Wizard of Oz. No, I am talking about the imaginary ones who climb […]

Sometimes it’s best if you just accept you’re going to be uncomfortable. The moment I saw this game on the schedule, I immediately grimaced and shifted in my seat. Not because I was pulling some woe-is-me Mizzou’d sad-sack fandom thing, but because I knew that going on the road to a place like Howard was […]

Husky hoops is back, and the football team hits the road coming off their bye. To the dots! Basketball Dots: Football Dots:
Conventional wisdom has it that after a coach is fired, the team goes into doldrums, plays worse, begins looking for their next destination; you face a dispirited lot. Like so much conventional wisdom, it happens to be wrong. I analyze every game, for every team, every week, and have done so for 13 years now. […]
They call this one the “defense is extremely optional” box score. Both teams played defense, in that they sent players onto the field to do stuff when they didn’t have the ball, but did they accomplish anything? No, no not really.
