Steven M. Sipple: Three quick takes from Nebraska's exceedingly predictable loss in Ann Arbor

Ninth-ranked Michigan battered reeling Nebraska to the tune of 82-53 in a Big Ten men's basketball game Thursday night in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

1. During the final minutes, with Michigan (25-4, 14-4) toying with Nebraska (15-14, 5-13), my night was reduced to a back-and-forth with one of my brothers about whether or not Dan Dakich is a quality analyst. Dakich did the game for ESPN alongside play-by-play man Dave Flemming. Dakich did a lot of philosophizing during the broadcast because the game offered hardly anything of interest to discuss. My take on Dakich: He's entertaining, engaging and knowledgeable.
