Northwestern pulls off a 64-62 upset of Michigan State, handing the Spartans their 1st loss in Big Ten play

Northwestern beat Michigan State at its game, crashing the offensive boards and hustling for loose balls to beat a top-10 team on the road for the first time in nearly five years. Ryan Young, starting in place of injured Pete Nance, had 18…

I sometimes am not able to watch a game live or sometimes I want to watch a second time. Is there a way to do this when not watching? Anyone? Thanks.

That should read “when not watching the game live”. 🙄

Watching College Game Day today they went over top teams, top point guards, top passers, top shooters, and even top big men. No mention of any Illini. How is Kofi not even mentioned. They even talked about transfers making a difference. No mention of Plummer. They were slobbering all over Purdue and their players. I would hope that would light a fire under our guys and they make a statement on Monday.

11am CST. Worried about a sleepy start like last night, from players and fans alike. Hope coach puts some espresso in the gatorade, and parks a few free starbucks trucks at the entrance of SFC.

I sort of feel Payne is key in this game Kofi can not play 40 minutes against Eddy and Williams. It seems to me that Payne would be a better match up on Williams who is a great passer and will be put away from the basket some. Kofi is more athletic than Eddy and has much better post moves. Unless the refs just go foul crazy. I would try to make that the match ups. We will play less Payne than they do Williams, but Kofi will need help in this game.

11am in C-U = 9am in Eugene… (checks math & time zones) same in Tualatin.

I’m thinkin’ Underwood might want to pull a Pitino and provide some (ahem) Sunday night entertainment for those fellas over in West Lafayette, and then pay the tab for an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet at the Beef House Monday morning!

Yeah, I don’t get it. I feel like the 20 point loss to Cincinnati is what everybody bases our season off of. We haven’t really beat anybody from the upper echelon yet, but hopefully that ends on Monday.

Yeah, considering that the next game isn’t until Friday I wish the game was on Tuesday evening. Gives them another day of rest which may be beneficial since many people have opined that Kofi and maybe a few of the others looked kind of gassed the last two games and Trent is playing so many minutes. On the other hand, will one day make that much of a difference to these young men in the prime of their physical lives? I don’t know.

Likely going to be #5 Purdue coming to town to face #21 and first place Illinois on Monday (all conjecture, of course, and the rankings will come out like right at tipoff, lol). Surprised this isn't a "Paint the Hall Orange" game or anything like that, but I hope the Krush is back and everyone is in orange and loud!

About Krush -- aren't classes being held virtually next week?
