1. Dusty May and Basketball Vibes
Starts at 1:00
It’s bye week which means basketball preview with Craig Ross! Dusty May inherited a roster with ~two players but hit the portal hard. He built Florida Atlantic into a Final Four team from nothing and it wasn’t a fluke. He wants to play tempo because he thinks it works but also because the players and fans will like it. May plays a different game from Beilein but the Beilein vibes are immaculate. He’s analytical in shot selection but also believes in player specialties. And he’s really into basketball podcasts!
[The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]
2. The Back Court
Starts at 24:59
This will be an interesting arrangement of dudes. Rubin Jones is a fun pick out of North Texas, he’s 6’5” and can switch onto bigs. Dusty May went for the guys he hated to play against. He also wants guys who can play multiple positions. Roddy Gayle has a concerning turnover rate but gets to the line a lot. Tre Donaldson III comes in from Auburn with a very efficient jump shot. Nimari Burnett should play as only a three and may start some games. LJ Cason is the most likely freshman to contribute.
3. Hot Takes, The Front Court
Starts at 1:01:50
Takes hotter than Will Howard’s social media mentions. Vlad Goldin comes in from FAU and is what we want to see from a 7’1” center. He takes hook shots! Danny Wolf comes in from Yale and is the most interesting guy on the team (center sized with the skills of a point guard). He could get 5 minutes per game at the 5 and 10-15 minutes at the 4? Sam Walkers is Just A Shooter. Will Tschetter returns as a mini Danny Wolf.
4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac
Starts at 1:42:28
Oregon 32, Ohio State 31
Ohio State will be fine in the playoff implications race but in the meantime lolol. Oregon faced a tough choice taking the lead by kicking a field goal from the one yard line because Ohio State could easily get into field goal range (until they didn't).
Penn State 33, USC 30
Tyler Warren (a tight end who wears 44(!)) had 17 catches for 224 yards and took the snap for a play where he had the receiving touchdown. Is USC the new Nebraska of the Big Ten?
Wisconsin 42, Rutgers 7
Rutgers kept threatening to score and then turned the ball over. They had a lot of injuries on defense.
Iowa 40, Washington 16
Washington outgains Iowa in this game but just cannot put points on the board.
Minnesota 21, UCLA 17
This was a comeback victory in which Minnesota scored all 21 points in the 2nd half. A third of Minnesota's total yards came off their game winning drive.
Northwestern 37, Maryland 10
Maryland turns the ball over four times. Northwestern didn't look amazing but capitalized on their opportunities.
Illinois 50, Purdue 49
Purdue scored on every drive in the 2nd half. What does this mean for Illinois?
