Bracketology: Post-NBA Draft deadline

Austin Walther -

Two Bracketology updates within a week. It's almost like we're at the end of February. But really, it's the end of May and the early entrant NBA Draft deadline has come and gone. It was actually a really exciting day. Almost felt like the election or something. I had Jeff

Wisconsin basketball: The ultimate friend zone

Erik Buchinger -

Welp, it's another tough moment for Wisconsin basketball recruiting as the Badgers missed out on the Hauser brothers. Imagine being the guy using unnamed sources that said Sam and Joey Hauser to Wisconsin basically a done deal and sticking with it for an entire month before it all blowing up

Top 5 landing spots for Urban Meyer in 2020

Erik Buchinger -

Whenever Urban Meyer is asked about a return to college football, he denies it but always gives that little opening to get everybody buzzing. Well I'm writing about it, so it worked. Meyer says he's done but never fully commits to saying never. I tracked down three quotes from him

Michigan basketball is a better job than UCLA

Erik Buchinger -

Not to brag, but I know how to read. I try to get my hands on one book a year, and that mostly ends unsuccessfully, but I do read a lot of sports articles mostly right before bed. Puts me right to sleep. And because I am a better sports

Michigan basketball coaching search

Erik Buchinger -

Earlier this week, John Beilein left the Michigan basketball team to take his final step in the coaching ranks with the Cleveland Cavaliers. This sucks for the Big Ten and it sucks for Michigan, but when your coach leaves, you gotta hire a new one. Makes sense, right? A coachless
