Some things I think about the Big Ten at the semester break
Plus: U.S. Collegiate Selects off to Switzerland, ECHL players about to strike
Mike Hastings reached the NCAA Tournament in his first season at Wisconsin, but this year’s Badgers look far more like a true Hastings team. This season’s version of the Badgers seems to have full buy-in, structure, and depth throughout the lineup.
Today, we take a deep dive into every Big Ten program as the league hits the semester break.
Also in today’s newsletter (Issue #622):
— Former Providence forward Trevor Connelly will miss the World Juniors, a development that could open the door for a current NCAA player to earn a roster spot.
— The U.S. Collegiate Selects are en route to Switzerland.
— ECHL players are edging closer to a potential strike.
