I would like to see Kofi kick it out quicker - might allow for a quick re-entry and better shot. That said, the refs just allow him to get raked every time. Unbelievable.

I'm genuinely surprised he hasn't had a wrist or arm fracture this year with as many shots as he takes every time he gets a touch.

Good Belo, Bad Belo in the first half at points. Hope to see a lot more of RJ in the 2nd half. Happy we have controlled the game, but we really should be up 25. Having trouble getting foot firmly on throat and keeping it there lately.... do not like that.

To be fair, he's pretty physical right back. He had Young in a headlock, lining him up for a suplex or maybe a piledriver and they whistled the foul on Young.

Wow they showed the last couple possessions of that Purdue game. Purdue got some BLOWN calls.

Ivey arm bars his defender on the way to the basket for like 2 seconds, no offensive foul.

And trevion Williams “blocks” the last second layup attempt. By block I mean slapping Scott’s hand into the ball…

What a joke.

I liked that second unit with both AC and RJ. But a little disappointed that BU couldn’t identify with that early run that this could be a breakout game for RJ. We have the right opponent to play a little looser today and RJ really had the mojo going on both sides. Team is playing great, just feels a bit like a missed opportunity.

It's nice to be able to complain about such things while up 14 at the half.

They better watch themselves. When you hit 9 threes and are "only" up 14....it's ok, but not what it should have been. Northwestern is a quick spurt away from the butterflies needing to come out. If you're NW and you let up 27 of 44 points from behind the arc....a 14 point deficit is not THAT bad.
