Steady Droppin' Dimes - Michigan tops Big Ten basketball standings, Ohio State hires Matt Patricia

This week on Steady Droppin' Dimes, Sam, Devin and Daniel react to the latest news surrounding Michigan Basketball rising to the top of the Big 10 standings, Ohio State hiring Matt Patricia, the all-time great performance by the Philadelphia Eagle defense in the Super, and Anthony Davis already being on the injured list one week after the controversial trade for Luka Doncic. The show began, however, with a conversation with Ann Arbor Sports Commission Director Meaghan Hughes and the associate director of adaptive sports & fitness at the University of Michigan Erik Robeznieks about the first ever wheelchair basketball game between Michigan and Michigan State this Sunday at Crisler Arena, emphasizing its historical significance and free admission. The show then transitioned to Michigan’s victory over Purdue, with Sam and Daniel noting Trey Donaldson's crucial role in setting an early tone, Roddy Gayle’s improved offensive shoving, and Vlad Goldin’s eventual response to Purdue’s physicality in the latter stages of the game. Devin Gardner joined the conversation, and the crew discussed Ohio State’s decision to hire failed Detroit Lions coach and recently dismissed Philadelphia Eagles assistant Matt Patricia as its defensive coordinator. The conversation turned to the epic showing by Philly in the Super Bowl. The episode concludes with a long, HEATED debate over the Luka Doncic ./ Anthony Davis trade in the aftermath of Davis being put on the injured list for up to a month just one game into his tenure as a Maverick.
