But they looked every bit of the best team in the country on Tuesday at Mackey Arena, comprehensively dispatching No. 7 Purdue, 91-80. Michigan led for the final 33 minutes and its lead expanded to as many as 20 points late in the first half. "We needed to deliver a lot of punches, whether it was the first or second," coach Dusty May said. "We knew this was going to go all 10 [rounds]. If we took a shot, we knew we had to respond and our guys did that over the course of the game. That was impressive the way they answered those runs with really sound play."

The Chicago Bulls have a problem. An addiction. An addiction to... the second round of the NBA draft. And it's gotten bad. In the days leading up to the trade deadline, the Bulls traded just about everything they had - and, in the process, added nine (9!) second-round picks. That brings their future total to fourteen (14!) second-rounders, two of which are in the 2026 NBA Draft. Enough to build an entire roster made up exclusively of second-round picks.
