Ryan and Tom sum up Big Ten basketball wins for #19 Michigan over Purdue and #8 Michigan State against Minnesota, examine some poorly-chosen words for John Beilein with his Cleveland Cavaliers players, and reflect upon the life and times of former Michigan State football head coach George Perles (1934-2020). Zavier Simpson’s 22 points and 9 assists led the Wolverines to an 84-78 double overtime triumph over the Boilermakers, but Michigan continues to struggle against strong post players - as Trevion Williams posted 36 points and 20 rebounds for Purdue. Xavier Tillman continued his strong play (19 pts, 16 reb) in a 74-58 Spartans victory against the Golden Gophers, as MSU claimed its eighth straight win and remained a perfect 5-0 in conference play to start the season.
