MINNEAPOLIS -- The question was posed to Big Ten basketball players, but it’s the fans who will get bragging rights. MLive asked players their opinion on the loudest arena in the Big Ten. Michigan’s Emily Kiser went with Pinnacle Bank, where Nebraska went 16-2 last season. Speaking on Indiana’s gym, Michigan State’s Kamaria McDaniel said, “That’s probably the toughest environment I’ve ever been in. Mackey Arena got five votes to Assembly Hall’s three.

MINNEAPOLIS – Nearly a month before the start of the season, Michigan State might have already set a Big Ten record. The optimistic view is that the plethora of offensive options makes Michigan State hard to defend and can help a team avoid a letdown from an off night from any one player. The pessimistic view is that it’s hard to know who to go to in crunch time or when Michigan State needs a rally. The fact that Michigan State looks like this in the preseason, though, doesn’t mean it will look like this at the end. But he’s struggled to consistently be a go-to offensive player for Michigan State in three seasons.

MLive asked players at Big Ten basketball media day this week for the best TV show they’ve seen recently or are currently watching. Wisconsin’s Halle Douglass chose “New Girl” (which ended in 2018) and Michigan State’s Matilda Ekh selected “Friends” (2004). The restA few players went with crime dramas: Law & Order SVU (DeeDee Hagemann, Michigan State); “Ozark” (Kamaria McDaniel, Michigan State); and “The Blacklist (Taylor Mikesell, Ohio State). And like most everyone else polled her, she might not have many fellow Big Ten basketball players with whom to discuss it.

The Michigan State women’s basketball coach has multiple players at each position. It was a unique season.”Now, though, Michigan State is back for 2022-23 with a refilled roster and hope that it can stay injury-free and get back to Big Ten title contention. Michigan State lost three players to season-ending injuries: Tory Ozment and Julia Ayrault before the season and Moira Joiner during the year. All three are now back as veterans, and Merchant said their returns will give Michigan State a boost beyond just what they provide in the box score. If Michigan State can keep all of those players available, Merchant likes her program’s chances to do that.

But which athletes do Big Ten basketball players admire? At Big Ten media day, MLive asked a variety of men’s and women’s players to name their favorite professional athlete. Tied for first with three votes apiece were Serena Williams and the late Kobe Bryant. Votes (Bryant): Matilda Ekh, Michigan State; DeeDee Hagemann, Michigan State; Taylor Mikesell, Ohio State; Votes (Williams): DeeDee Hagemann, Michigan State; Taiyier Parks, Michigan State; Laila Phelia, Michigan:LeBron James, Steph CurryThe two NBA stars who have a combined eight titles and six MVP awards were each listed by two Big Ten players. Votes (Ionescu): Makenna Marisa, Penn State; Leilani Kapinus, Penn State; Votes (Delle Donne): Leigha Brown, Michigan; Emily Kiser, MichiganAlso received votesA dozen other pro athletes received one vote each.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Thirteen of the 14 Big Ten men’s basketball coaches who spoke inside the Target Center these past two days did so knowing at least one player who will be part of their 2023 recruiting class. The one coach who didn’t: Michigan’s Juwan Howard. Howard, entering his fourth season, had secured commitments from multiple recruits by this time in years past. Zayden High, a 6-foot-9 forward from Texas who currently plays high school ball in Arizona, is ranked No. Michigan took two incoming transfer this season, one last season, and two the year before.

After replacing Michigan women’s players at a particular dais inside Target Center, Howard noticed a purse on one of the seats. Howard previewed the trip but has not yet spoken publicly since until Wednesday. He wants to win, he wants to see championship banner in Crisler again, and he wants to be a part of that. “Gotta give up the flowers to president Mary Sue Coleman for what she’s done twice, being our president,” Howard said. “We’re just going to keep forging ahead and keep growing and keep trying to get better game by game and practice by practice.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Eight months after their altercation in a postgame handshake line, Juwan Howard and Greg Gard have squashed their beef.

MINNEAPOLIS – If Michigan State is to climb back to the top of the Big Ten standings this year, it’ll be the Spartans’ guards that lead them there. “We needed to get better guard play,” Izzo said.

For the first time since the departure of Cassius Winston in 2020, Michigan State will have an established starter at point guard to start a season in A.J. “I still think to win championships, your guard play has to be really good,” Izzo said.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Kim Barnes Arico has seen the social media posts referencing Michigan’s success in a variety of sports in recent years. At many schools, men’s and women’s basketball, along with football, are among the most high-profile sports, and that’s certainly the case at Michigan. “You can go across the board from softball to gymnastics to football to men’s and women’s basketball. “They just have a great thing going,” Barnes Arico said of the men. “For both of us to have Michigan basketball having the success it’s had the last few years is really special.”

Minneapolis-area man Qadar Mohamed Aden was ordered by police out of a stolen vehicle and allegedly possessed more than 100 fentanyl-laced counterfeit oxycodone pills on his person.

The Minnesota Twins came quickly out of the gate after the lockout this spring by making three bold trades and becoming the surprise landing spot for star shortstop Carlos Correa. After their tumble down the stretch pushed them out of contention in the AL Central and stuck them with an 78-84 record, a mere five-game improvement from 2021, the Twins trudge toward winter facing one of the same big questions as last year. Should they go shopping for Correa?

The Lions won all three of their games last year at home, and won their only game this year at home vs. Washington.

Safety JuJu Hughes needs to play better than he did in Minnesota. “You know, a little stuff in-house,” JuJu Hughes said when I asked him about it after the game. Based on the tape, that someone is almost certainly JuJu Hughes. The Walker injury really magnifies the lack of production from Brad Holmes’ Day 2 picks. You’d think that would fortify the depth behind Walker, himself a third-round safety -- yet Melifonwu and Joseph have combined to play zero defensive snaps this season.

Just moments away from what would have been a monumental road victory against a division rival, the Detroit Lions did what they always do: Snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Three key takeaways from the state’s football scene -- and a glimpse at what’s to come next week.

Shohei Ohtani vs.

Osborn get so wide open for a go-ahead touchdown? An even better question: How did Osborn get so wide open for a go-ahead touchdown after the Lions called timeout to set their defense? “Definitely a miscommunication, if he was that wide open,” cornerback Amani Oruwariye said. After missing Osborn on first down, quarterback Kirk Cousins connected with Osborn on a 28-yard pass to advance the ball into Lions territory. Then coming out of the timeout, Osborn -- lined up in the slot -- ran a corner route toward the end zone.

If the Detroit Lions’ worst fears are confirmed, he might not even be ready for the start of 2023. The injury was originally announced as an ankle, although head coach Dan Campbell later said it is potentially an Achilles injury. It’s never a good sign when the A-word is invoked, perhaps the most devastating injury in the game. We’ll know more tomorrow.”The Lions have dealt with a rash of Achilles injuries that have crushed their young nucleus on defense. “You know what?” Walker told his agent.

The Minnesota Vikings stole a win from the Detroit Lions in the final minute of a divisional matchup in Minneapolis on Sunday.

-- rewarded his head coach by catching the football on a shallow crossing route and sprinting 30 yards downfield. Williams converted a fourth-and-1 on a run up the middle, then Josh Reynolds caught a 17-yard pass on another fourth-and-1. Campbell went for another fourth-and-1 near midfield, but this time Jared Goff’s pass to Hockenson was broken up by linebacker Eric Kendricks. It was a low-percentage pass into traffic, and would have been short even if Hockenson held onto the football. He did not, and Minnesota used the short field to score an equalizing touchdown, knotting up the game 14-all headed into the half.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Detroit Lions have lost Tracy Walker, their starting safety and leading tackler. Walker was carted to the locker room after suffering a left ankle injury in the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. Walker suffered the injury away from a Dalvin Cook 2-yard run, which often isn’t a good sign. He spent several minutes on the turf before walking gingerly to the sideline, then immediately getting carted back to the locker room. The injury is also a blow for Walker, who just welcomed another child -- baby “Cinco” -- to the world this week.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Detroit Lions have arrived at U.S. Bank Stadium, where they’re looking to snap a 10-game road losing streak. Running back D’Andre Swift (ankle), edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson (thigh), center Frank Ragnow (toe) and tight end T.J. Hockenson (hip) have been cleared to play on Sunday in Minnesota. Ragnow will be making his return to the field after missing last week’s win with toe and groin injuries. The groin injury has since healed, while the toe continued to limit him at practice all week. With Jackson missing a second straight game because of his finger injury, Detroit could start Dan Skipper at left guard again.

The Detroit Lions were chanting Dan Skipper’s name in the locker room after the win against Washington last week. The Lions remain without starting guards Jonah Jackson (finger) and Halapoulivaati Vaitai (back surgery), plus top backup Tommy Kraemer too. Then he moved inside to left guard -- a position he had not played since he was a rookie at Arkansas -- to make his first NFL start. You show up every day, and you think you’re doing the right things, and just for whatever reason, it just doesn’t quite work out. You get fired, but just keep on plugging away.”A week later, it seems Skipper could be trending toward his second NFL start.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Detroit Lions were so close to winning so many games last year. Now as the Lions prepare to head back into Minnesota on Sunday, they are still searching for the first road win of the Dan Campbell era. We need to try and set the tempo for ourselves, and it starts on the road, divisional game. We are young, but we’ll see where we’re at.”The Lions opened the season with the youngest roster in the league. But for the Lions to accomplish anything, they will eventually have to figure out how to win in hostile territory.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN - It’s only game three, but this weekend’s Detroit Lions game is one of the biggest of the season as they take on division rival Minnesota on the road. There are some last-minute tickets for the game going for under $50 at these sites:The Lions are 1-1 after starting the season with a loss at home to Philadelphia 38-35 and winning last weekend at home against Washington 36-27. They beat Green Bay 23-7 at home to start their season and lost to Philadelphia 24-7 on the road last week. Afer this Sunday’s game, the Lions return home to face Seattle at Ford Field.
