Smashmouth. Basketball.

The Big Ten is known for its rough style of play (smashmouth according to Steve) and tonight's game between Michigan and Michigan State was no exception. Brent and Steve were even comparing Big Ten basketball to hockey.

"It's a different game my friend" - Brent
"Well, it get's pretty fiesty on the floor" - Steve

And then later on Brent says: "We're at a Big Ten game and a hockey game broke out."

Other quotes of the night:

"Splendid work" - Brent

"He takes the croutons that fall off the rim and makes a meal of it" - Steve

Adventures in sideline reporting:
Brent and Steve send it down to Erin, who reports that a player from Michigan just threw up in a garbage can by the bench. After she sends it back to LavinBurger, Steve says with no emotion at all, "What a great story."

Michigan State wins 54-42

Brent and Steve in Mad-Town

LavinBurger was announcing from Madison, Wisconsin tonight. A night in Brent's favorite town usually means craziness by the announcing duo, but from what I saw, Brent was very subdued and professional tonight, and Steve was too.

Wisconsin ended its 6 game losing streak by beating Illinois 63 - 50.

No Brent Tonight

Dave O'Brien announced the Ohio State vs Purdue game with Steve Lavin tonight since Brent announced the Tennessee vs Oklahoma women's basketball game with Bob Knight on Monday. We'll see Brent and Steve back in action together on Thursday for Illinois vs Wisconsin.
