A good episode of B1G women's sports for Jan. 17, 2024, most of it basketball related, including a tribute to C. Vivian Stringer and a profile of Iowa's Kate Martin. There's also a really powerful segment (between 11:54-15:24) where B1G women's and men's basketball players and coaches recite MLK's I Have a Dream speech.

Not from the 2023-24 B1G year but a B1G connection nonetheless. A Made for the A episode featuring Naz Hilmon (former Michigan Wolverine; GO BLUE!) and Nia Coffey (former Northwestern Wildcat) as well as Laeticia Amihere (who didn't play in the B1G.

Michigan and Coach KBA have six players leaving due to graduation or transfer, seven coming back, and five freshmen coming in--including top 20 players Syla Swords and Olivia Olson. They could definitely use an experienced grad transfer (or two). Anybody hearing anything about any potential grad transfers to Michigan?
