Andrew Todd-Smith and new co-anchor Maddie Spielman discuss the recent doubleheaders of men’s basketball and men’s ice hockey in this week’s show. The home hoops matchups against Nebraska and Purdue resulted in 81-57 and 65-61 Buckeye wins that saw the team leap to fourth in the Big Ten standings.

A brief recap of women’s basketball’s road wins at Penn State and Nebraska ensues, with analysis of how they should fare in this weekend’s conference tournament.

And after breaking down the home sweep of Penn State men’s ice hockey, we then preview the upcoming matchup against No. 15 Minnesota and identify Golden Gophers skaters to keep an eye on. Women’s ice hockey concluded their season with two WCHA playoff quarterfinal defeats to No. 8 North Dakota in Grand Forks, N.D.

Both men’s and women’s gymnastics celebrated senior night this past Saturday with meets against No. 5 Michigan and Southeast Missouri State, respectively, at St. John Arena.
