Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Timberwolves' 110-103 loss to the Lakers, a lackluster affair from Minnesota that was troubling even if we keep it in perspective. Julius Randle put up decent numbers but was a clumsy fit in the first half. Mike Conley Jr. might have played his worst game in a Wolves uniform. It's just one of 82, but it was not a good one.

10:00: Randy Johnson joins the podcast to break down Big Ten football and set up a big game for the Gophers against Maryland on Saturday.

21:00: Six-man football? Chip Scoggins explains in his Football Across Minnesota feature.

28:00: The Wild keep rolling and the Vikings look to rebound.
