FIRST HALF ANALYSIS: This game features the best two defenses in the Big Ten. If you watched this first half, I have some ocean front property to sell you that exists on the top of Mount Rushmore. Nebraska started the game off on a heater, going on a 12-2 run. Berke Buyuktuncel was the catalyst, […]

Pregame The Penguins had called up forwards Avery Hayes and Joona Koppanen during the day, but Anthony Mantha is able to play so the lineup of skaters remains the same with Stuart Skinner in net.

One of the most simplistic ways to break down the NFL Draft is to compare the unknown to the known. While we may have a lack of familiarity with prospects, giving them a name of past and present stars makes for more straightforward projections to the professional game. This isn’t to say that the individual […]

We were salivating for a shootout at the Spectrum Center. Truth […]
