Michigan has gotten even more hype since blowing out the Gophers earlier this month, some of it coming from Tuesday's lopsided win over Wisconsin.

THE OVERVIEW Michigan's obliterated all comers except Penn State and (uh…) Oakland en route to a 10-0 start and a #7 rank in both AP poll and on Kenpom. One thing they have not done is play a foe currently in the Kenpom top 25. This is in part because they fired Minnesota ten slots down the rankings after beating the Gophers by 25, but Minnesota's performance since indicates they're not quite the team people thought they were when they arrived in Crisler as the #16 team in the AP Poll. Wisconsin is what people think they are. They, too, have not played a top 25 Kenpom opponent, but like Mic...

The Low Places 1/6/2021 – Michigan 82, Minnesota 57 – 10-0, 5-0 Big Ten Lopsided basketball games, like most other uncompetitive sporting events, have a desultory ending period where players go through the motions but aren't giving maximum effort. You get turnovers and runouts on both ends as passing gets lackadaisical. Not much about the last ten minutes of Michigan's blowout of Minnesota was unfamiliar.

As skilled at strumming the strings of a guitar as he is at shredding the fibers of a basketball net, Robert Woodard II is a man of many talents, and an unusually quick, willing learner. He was the valedictorian of his graduating class, a Junior National Honor Society member and a two-time recipient of his high school’s Principal Student of the Year award. He needed only a handful of bass guitar lessons and tips from his choir director before teaching himself more complex chords. He performed in middle school plays and covered Motown tunes at a high school dance, before dabbling in the drum...
