WSJ: Which colleges produced most NBA minutes?

By Brent Yarina, BTN.com Senior Editor, 5 years ago

The Wall Street Journal has an interesting article that breaks down which colleges produced the most minutes in the NBA during this strike-shortened campaign. Duke, to no surprise, landed at No. 1, with 21,609 minutes. But what about Big Ten teams? Ohio State (7,903 minutes) came in 13th to lead 10 Big Ten teams. See the breakdown and the players who contributed the minutes in this post. Big Ten Teams Ohio State: 6 players; 7,903 minutes (Mike Conley Jr., Evan Turner, Byron Mullens, Michael Redd, Daequan Cook, Kosta Koufos) Michigan State: 4; 4,187 (Zach Randolph, Jason Richardson, Shannon Brown, Alan

Talking 2012-13 Big Ten Basketball Breakout Players

By Brent Yarina, BTN.com Senior Editor, 5 years ago

ESPN.com’s Eamonn Brennan posted a story Thursday offering his 10 potential breakout players for 2012-13, and the list features one Big Ten player: Michigan State’s Keith Appling. Here’s a sampling of Brennan’s thoughts on Appling: “With the team’s do-everything leader Draymond Green gone, and a batch of younger, less experienced players rounding out the rotation, Appling has a chance to evolve from a nice complementary piece into one of the Big Ten’s bonafide stars.” [ESPN.com: 10 potential breakout players for 2012-13] Appling is a good choice, no doubt, but I’m surprised to see only one player from the Big Ten,

Former Badger Jarrod Uthoff to transfer to Iowa

By BTN.com staff, 5 years ago

(AP) Jarrod Uthoff is staying in the Big Ten – and he figures to see plenty more of Bo Ryan over the next few years. Uthoff told The Associated Press in a phone interview on Wednesday night that he’s transferring to Iowa even though Badgers coach Bo Ryan restricted the Hawkeyes from contacting him. [AP: Jarrod Uthoff to transfer to Iowa] Uthoff will have to pay his own way next year at Iowa and will also have to sit out the 2012-13 season per NCAA transfer rules. But that’s not an issue for Uthoff, who hails from nearby Cedar Rapids,

Wisconsin's Ben Brust

Did You See This? Brust visits Kevin Harvick

By Brent Yarina, BTN.com Senior Editor, 5 years ago

Usually, it’s fans seeking out Ben Brust and getting all big-eyed in his presence. Recently, as part of an NCAA.com video feature, the tables turned for Brust, who got to meet Kevin Harvick, his favorite NASCAR driver. In the feature, Brust toured Harvick’s garage, which happens to include a basketball court, and the two played H-A-P-P-Y, their version of H-O-R-S-E. Watch the entertaining video here. It was cool seeing Harvick’s collection of cars and the basketball court in the garage, but the highlight of the video may have been Brust’s dunk. Who knew the 6-foot-1 3-point specialist had those ups?!
