Good morning! This is going to be a daily(ish) post that discusses the goings on of the rest of the Big Ten Conference, and the country as needed. Much like the European Union, the Big Ten is a loosely confederated group of entities that sometimes have the same goals (like free movement of people between countries or not winning national titles in football or basketball) and sometimes accept new members that they later regret (Estonia or Nebraska).
We hope that you will use this post to comment on things happening around the conference and also as a sort of daily open thread to discuss breaking news or argue about Spotted Cow (which we NO LONGER DO).
- I don’t remember if we discussed this or not the other day, but Johnny Davis won MVP of the Maui Invitational. He also made the all-tournament team, along with Tyler Wahl. Well deserved, as they were the two best players on the team that won the dang tournament.
Fell asleep before I got the email as I have an early flight but here’s the Maui Invitational All-Tournament team:

Fabian White Jr., Houston
Dan Fotu, St. Marys
Logan Johnson, St. Mary’s
Johnny Davis, Wisconsin
Tyler Wahl, Wisconsin
- Also, the score may have been close against Houston in the semifinals, but the Badgers were the better team in that game and the shot quality proves it.

Wow...this class. There are no words.
Let's make this season as long as we can ❤️ pic.twitter.com/3T5TrB5pYL
- This team might not win a game in the Big Ten this year. We must, yet again, stress patience.

- Wisconsin has a good chance to improve on these rankings this weekend in New Jersey. The Badgers will grapple with Hofstra and UNC on Saturday, with the matches being aired on BTN+.

- Earlier this week, Minnesota RB Mo Ibrahim announced that he’d be returning for one more season. Ibrahim suffered a season-ending injury in Minnesota’s first game of the season, a season in which he was predicted to repeat as Big Ten RB of the Year and more, so he clearly has some unfinished business.
- No. 2 Maryland lost their first game of the season, convincingly, to No. 5 NC State in women’s hoops.
- A lot of people were wrong about how Michigan football’s season would go.
- Northwestern All-American safety Brandon Joseph is really good. But are there still things he could fix?
- Who are some candidates to take the Nebraska open offensive coordinator job?
- Mel Tucker officially signed his massive extension in East Lansing.
- Christian Veilleux’s performance on Saturday for Penn State gives the Nittany Lions hope for the future of the QB position.
