You guys are on your own today. The realities of life have dragged me southeastward, as I am in Cincinnati shopping at IKEA for some cheap baby furniture. Exciting, I know, but Steve will be taking you home with the Game wrap. I'll try to drop word or two on Twitter if I can successfully watch on BTN2GO.

Some more help should be on the way soon so it is not just me running the show full-time. In the man time, let's go get another Big Ten win and defend home court.
