Sam Maniscalco "day-to-day"

Weber: Wanted to play Richmond in Cancun first so they'd have experience going against Princeton-style offense, be prepared for NW
Weber: Meyers' struggles partly due to Purdue's D, Meyers letting the D get to his head and guards missing him in the post
Weber: "The one thing we have to do a better job of is shortening our passes" - teams are picking off the cross-court passes
Weber: Sam Maniscalco "day-to-day." Has been limited in practice lately
Weber: "You hope (Maniscalco) doesn't have to sit out. He will gut it out if he can" but ankle might not allow him to go.
Weber: The last five or seven years, NW has been very competitive in the league..."They're a definite tough opponent to deal with."

Bruce Weber said Illinois wanted to play Richmond early in season because system is similar to Northwestern, where Illini play Wednesday.
