This show is presented by UGP & The Bo Store, and if it wasn’t for Rishi and Ryan nobody would get our jokes. Our other sponsors are also key to all of this: HomeSure Lending, Peak Wealth Management, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown, the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Michigan Law Grad, Human Element, and Lantana Hummus

--------------------------------------------

1. Iowa

starts at 00:58

We cede Brian 5 minutes to talk about autobenching and he uses most of it to talk about the ref show. How do you attack a zone with this team, because if you put Iggy in the middle of it you don't have enough shooters. Ready for Castleton to come in when there's a post who's 6'11".

2. Ohio State

starts at 25:43

X's big night is on a higher level than a normal triple-double because there were also no turnovers and a block on Kaleb Wesson that made the center's mom lose her shit. We come up with parenting advice for Mama Wesson, who is certainly lying about getting spat on and will have a hard argument with physics to explain why getting hit by a foam light hurt. Simpson is a cross between Isaiah Thomas (not THAT Isiah) and a center.

3. Indiana

starts at 44:46

They were angry in Bloomington. Whoever draftsa Langford their rival should draft Matthews.

Big Ten: The Tourney Situation, wsg Alex Cook

starts at 56:32

We recorded the IU part before last night obviously. Nebraska is scuffling, Palmer is disappointing. Iowa is in. Grad transfers in the Big Ten this year aren't getting much time on the floor. Purdue has made it past the toughest part of their schedule, have an equal chance to win the Big Ten despite the beginning of the season. Michigan-MSU is still the marquee.

I feel it's unfair that Boudreaux looks like a 60-year-old Frenchman

Things discussed:

• Craig Ross's wife calls out Terry Mills
• Sam has never had someone say they had a good experience in Columbus
• "F—Ohio" lacks cleverness. Michigan can do better.
• Mama Wesson is a liar.
• Indiana's self-immolation. Something's up in that locker room.
• Iggy's shots are vastly better when he doesn't have to create them.
• Teske's ability to stay on the court vs. Kaleb Wesson's conditioning.
• Josh Langford loss doesn't hurt MSU.
• What's wrong with Nebraska: James Palmer is one of the most disappointing guys in the league.
• We get Ira started on Maryland

I don't think Michigan needs to be supporting people who are going to outright lie about their experience.

Ace has been bored so he's got some podcasting equipment and been talking to himself.

SEGMENT ONE: A BLOWOUT AND A BROUHAHA. Revisiting last night’s extremely enjoyable Ohio State game. Much praise for Zavier Simpson, obviously. Similar praise for the team’s saltiness and Jon Teske’s defense on Kaleb Wesson. Some concerns about Jordan Poole’s recent play but Michigan is basically going six deep right now.

SEGMENT TWO: SLOW-JAMMING THE FANCYSTATS. I’m so, so sorry for this. After, uh, that is a brief discussion of taunting and its greatness.

SEGMENT THREE: BREAKING UP THE BIG TEN. No, not like that—into tiers. Michigan and MSU are even more out in front than they were before. Only three other teams have positive efficiency margins in Big Ten play, and a lot of the conference is moving in the wrong direction.

SEGMENT FOUR: ON-TOPIC/OFF-TOPIC. In this case, an entirely off-topic discussion of ME/CFS, the PACE Trial, gross cronyism, and… a Dartmouth economist?

MUSIC:
