That was much more convincing than the NW2 win, didn't feel as much of a Nebraska collapse as NW2 win was. More proactive win. Although can't expect this team to shoot 48% from tre land too often either.

Btw, what's the consensus on Black's pull of the Nebraska player out of bounds after the broken up alley oop? Dirty or clean?

Looked dirty to me. Looked like Black wasn't really thinking and let some of his old tendencies get the best of him.

That said, it's ambiguous enough that there's no way anything comes of it if the B1G takes a look at it post-game. I do agree it should've been a foul on Morrow first, though.

We win out and Northwestern loses to Michigan and Purdue -- we end up in front of them in conference tourney seeds. The universe is regaining its balance.

This is the team I was looking for all year, showing up at the end of the season, which is nice to see. Let's win out and win a game or two in the conference tourney and see what happens! So much senior leadership and tough defense today, another road win, great job guys!

gonna repost this, because it's Oscars night, and some thought I was overconfident.

Looked like he had some old tendencies return. Great call by Groce to yank him immediately. Should have been a foul on Morrow, but no excuse for the resultant shove.

A very nice win. Shon Morris brings up the turnaround coinciding w/ TJL and Kipper get more tick.


Cant help thinking what if?

Morrow was fouling hard out of frustration and getting chippy. Glad Leron put him in his place.

Fantastic to see the guys meshing so well!
Side Note: Anyone know if there's a story behind Kipper's headband?

From what I could tell on the short replay they showed it looked like Black was just spinning out of the way. It looked to me that his arms were behind the guys back and he didn't have a hold of him, but with the way he spun as the player was falling made it look like he threw him down
