IMO you sit grandi since he disappeared after the cupcake portion of the schedule, is an effective TO machine even if it doesn’t show up on the stat sheet, and is a liability on D. RJ, Goode, and Hawk all make mistakes but contribute to the offense to some extent. When grandi and DMW are on the floor together we’re just playing catch at the top of the key. This is exacerbated when Kofi gets breathers

Every player goes through ups and downs. I'll continue to stick with Grandy because of what I saw down the stretch last year.

Missing shots does a number on a player's confidence. Once Grandy sees a couple go in, the rest of his game is going to elevate.

Exactly this. TF's confidence didn't seem to be on today and it got worse as the game progressed. Fortunately that seemed to fuel his intensity on D.

Gut check tonight. Gotta be happy with the road win. Don't really care that they struggled to get it, given all that's happened this season.

i watch a lot of other conference BB games and I am truly amazed at how completely awful B1G refs are ........I mean it's time for the coaches and media to start asking questions of the league office on why they employ such inept officials..............This has been such a hot topic for me and i know , based on other posters posts that you see the same thing i see.......

The foul on Young against Trent was a shooting foul....How anyone could see that different just amazes me...........Does anybody recognize any of the 3 refs today ?......I can't, for the life of me , remember any of our games being reffed by those clowns....................I'm surprised Kofi didn't get a T on that phantom foul called on him against the Buie drive ....he NEVER TOUCHED HIM.....no contact at all...................

time to settle down and watch the rest of the Blues hockey game for me........

1st place in the B1G.............................feels good..............it really really does.......................

He plays solid. That was a great play and one he will certainly remember. We need more plays like that and shot making like he did last year moving forward!

Yup..also he's averaging roughly the same in b10 play as he is the rest of the year.. so not sure about the other guys cupcake comment.

11.2 for full year
10.9 in conference

So in KenPom, our Adjusted Offense Rank went down from 17 to 20, but our Adjusted Defense Rank went up from 27 to 23. Overall we stay at 16, just behind Texas and just ahead of UConn. 2nd best in the B10 still, behind Purdue.

We're doing alright. ;)

Think that Pomeroy had us as three-point favorites before the game, so that all checks out. Other folks have said it but this is a better Northwestern team than the record would indicate, aside from the Purdue game they’ve basically been in all of their B1G games so far.

Anyway, a win is a win is a win is a win is a win is a
