The Big Ten Network recently sat down with each men’s basketball coach to talk Christmas songs.
Jingle Bells and Silent Night were the most popular answers, with The Christmas Song, Let it Snow, Deck the Halls, White Christmas, and of course, All I Want for Christmas is You, by Mariah Carey.

Matt Painter went outside the box with his answer. “What’s the Hannukah Song by Adam Sandler? I like that one.”
Mike Woodson was the lone scrooge of the group, saying he is “not a big holiday guy.” Woodson eventually settled on Jingle Bells, as it was the first song that came to mind.
