ttun basketball (Juwan out, Dusty May in)

[DZ83CK]

Dusty May said today he wants his team to "be easy on the eyes." He also said he'll be "speed dating" to add talent with the transfer portal. Never heard those ones before. So I guess no homely looking dudes are gonna make the cut in UM recruiting.

Good luck with the first one. "easy on the eyes" to me means NOT a punchable face.......and yet they're a fucking magnet for that shit.

I will say I don't think May's strategy is a smart one. The B1G historically has been a halfcourt-oriented league. You're not going to win league championships with the up-tempo style unless you recruit like Duke or Kentucky, and I highly doubt May can recruit like that.

So he's going to be their basketball version of Rich Rod?

I wouldn't go that far. Basketball is much easier to luck your way into a great year.

That Team Up North: Top five Ohio State-Michigan men’s basketball games of all-time​

When thinking about all-time OSU-Michigan all-time hoops games, everyone jumps to Evan Turner’s buzzer beaters.

When people think about the greatest Ohio State and Michigan games of all time, most of the ones that stick out are on the gridiron. However, the court has seen some solid matchups as well — especially in the 2010s — with John Beilein and Thad Matta going to battle year in and year out.

But which games are the best? One is an obvious top pick, but some of the other games might be surprising.

Mar. 12, 2010: No. 7 Ohio State 69, Michigan 68

No one expected this game to be close at the end, but it ended up being one of the more memorable finishes in Ohio State basketball history.

In the Big Ten Tournament, No. 1 seeded Ohio State faced No. 8 Michigan, and it looked like Michigan was going to pull off the huge upset until Evan Turner drilled a half-court three-pointer two in the game. We were all Jon Diebler and Thad Matta at the end of this video.
