Tim opens with college hoops talk from travel hurting west coast teams(Mick Cronin is right) to a cool commitment for Eric Musselman and USC. Tim’s Time Machine goes back to 2000, 1989, and beyond to remember the last time a Big Ten team won a national title. It has been slim pickings for the Big Ten in hoops. Then Tim deep dives on the Big Ten including an about face on Penn State hoops under Mike Rhodes. Tim didn’t like the body language out of the coach or players at Rec Hall last Thursday night. NBA, Pens hockey, and golf at Pebble Beach. Plus what is becoming Tim’s weekly rant on the Pirates and a Punxsutawney Phil random off topic topic.
