By Sean Merriman, BTN.com web editor, 2 years ago

Matt Van Dyk had one of those moments on Tuesday night that he will never forget. With Michigan State holding onto a commanding 79-62 lead over Ohio State late in Tuesday night’s game, Tom Izzo made a move to empty his bench. That’s when Van Dyk came into the game and threw down a dunk that electrified the Spartans’ bench. The MSU walk-on got a steal and dished the ball to teammate Alvin Ellis, who threw it off the backboard to Van Dyk for the two-handed flush. Check it out at the top of this post. Well done, Mr. Van

#BTNStandout: Bishop Daniels throws down highlight dunk

By Sean Merriman, BTN.com web editor, 2 years ago

Bishop Daniels threw down a dunk on Tuesday night that Rutgers basketball fans will remember for a long time. Leading 19-14 midway through the first half, Daniels drove to the rim and threw down a thunderous one-handed slam over a Minnesota defender. BTN’s Stephen Bardo had some great commentary following the dunk. “I didn’t know we were in Church tonight,” Bardo said. “But the Bishop showed up at the rim.” This has to be a finalist for Big Ten Dunk of the Year. Congrats, Mr. Daniels. You have earned the title of #BTNStandout.

By Jon Crispin, BTN men's basketball analyst, 2 years ago

Big Ten play is a grind. Every coach and player, past and present, will attest to that. [ MORE: BTN2Go: Watch Wisconsin at No. 8 Iowa at 9 p.m. ET Wednesday ] No. 8 Iowa and Wisconsin are well aware of this fact entering Wednesday night’s highly anticipated rivalry game at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Iowa entered the season quietly slipping under the radar but has since made its presence known, at one point landing in the top 5 of the national polls.

Jon Crispin: What's up with star PG Melo Trimble, Maryland?

By Jon Crispin, BTN men's basketball analyst, 2 years ago

I’ve been criticized recently for saying that Melo Trimble is the best point guard in the country. For once, I won’t try to defend myself. I may try to explain myself a bit, though, as I understand the questions surrounding Trimble and the Terps, who have yet to consistently play to their potential this season.

I personally had them in the preseason Final Four mix and still look at this team as a national championship contender. There

Ohio kids presented with Meyer-Harbaugh hypothetical case

By Brent Yarina, BTN.com Senior Editor, 2 years ago

Fourth graders at Scottish Corners Elementary School in Dublin, Ohio, received an interesting lesson about law and courts Monday. The hypothetical case presented to the children involved, of all people, Ohio State’s Urban Meyer and Braxton Miller and Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh. Even weirder: Miller and Harbaugh are “friends” in the hypothetical case, and the former is conspiring to help the rival Wolverines steal Ohio State’s plays. There’s more: Meyer knows about the friendship, plus he has proof that his former star sent Harbaugh a letter. Harbaugh and Miller weren’t on the same page about the letter. Harbaugh said Miller was

By Tom Dienhart, BTN.com Senior Writer, 2 years ago

Maryland turns the page on a new era with D.J. Durkin taking over in College Park. Durkin replaces Randy Edsall, who had a largely uneventful four-plus year tenure in going to just two bowls after taking over in 2011. Offensive coordinator Mike Locksley took over after Edsall was fired during last season, as Maryland finished 3-9 and lost nine in a row at one time.
