Michigan State wins at Michigan to move into 1st place in the Big Ten. Spartans didn't have a great night overall, but there's so much depth, they can overcome a few players being off. Tom Izzo's done a great job this year.

Big 12 had media days in Vegas last year and we got the hottest day in Vegas history, like 120, and some schools couldn’t leave because planes were grounded due to the heat.

News: Big Ten Media Days will be in Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay this year. This comes after announcements that the Big Ten women's hoops tournament will be in Vegas in 2027 and the men in 2028.

Why would you ever call it the 4 Nations Faceoff, when you could instead use its WWE PPV name, CONFRONTATION DES NATIONS

The Canadian players decided to start carrying the 4 Nation trophy like the Stanley Cup because they don't know what else to do lol

They should've passed out silver and bronze medals for a four-team tournament.

Auston Matthews missed multiple point-blank winners in OT, lost the faceoff and drifted into the corner to leave Connor McDavid in the slot for the winner for Canada. Can't have that from your captain, USA. Can't have it.

Crosby and McDavid, 15 years apart, two of the greatest players in history score the OT winner to beat the USA.

Could still have a split 4 Nations national championship if the AP Poll has the courage.

USA gotta win this so we can talk about something other than 1980.

In OT, I'm picking Brett Hull for USA and Eric Lindros for Canada.

I can't believe the NHL and players agreed to full overtimes with no shootouts for this tournament. I'm so excited.

Canada won the first 8 faceoffs. USA won the next 8, the last leading to a dump-and-chase, turnover, goal.

Dislike seeing ads on these national jerseys and helmets. At least Canada chose two that use the Maple Leaf or red so you barely notice.

USA controls the play early, Canada scores first. That's hockey.

I didn’t think you could do a bad O Canada but I’m always surprised.

I was sitting up high in Mackey Arena in a press area for USA-Canada gold in 2010 during an MSU-Purdue game. A CBS camera guy in front of me was watching the game on his camera. It was wild.

I think playing tonight's game in Boston might actually help Canada. Home ice means little in hockey and Canada always plays tight and nervous in front of their home crowd.

A funny thing about USA-Canada hockey is that the vast majority of both teams were born within a few hundred miles of the USA-Canada border in the same kinds of towns. The cultures could not be more similar.

ESPN has talked about hockey basically all day and I cannot remember the last time that happened. It's been cool.
