However, we play pretty well on the road. More road wins than any other Big Ten team?
I mean that's the public facing answer. Obviously the team knows exactly where he falls in the Covid protocol. Generally unless he is quite sick I would expect him to be available Saturday since he was out Tuesday.
What I want is a complete beat down from start to finish. I don’t want to see us go scoreless for 10 minutes in the second half and when by 1. I don’t want that hectic crazy finish going into overtime or even second overtime
I don’t want us to be down 20 points at then end of the first half only to comeback and decimate NW in the second. ( I will admit I enjoyed watching that second half and went back to my dvr and watched the second half again just for pure enjoyment).
Is wrong to ask for this to be that game where our started are not busting their butts off in the last 5 minutes and can enjoy watching from the bench and resting as RJ and Podz rain 3s and dunks and even Lieb gets in the action with a hard pick or two which knocks a little wildcat off their feet.
Again is this wrong to ask?

Thanks for posting this. I looked at the UI Covid guidelines, and they say to adhere to the CDC. So as long as he posts a negative test to the portal, he should be able to play. (And by should be able to play, I mean when he's fully healthy and cleared by doctors.)
That's what we were saying last Friday prior to the Maryland game.
Northwestern's biggest weakness has been guarding the 3 pt line. I think we'll see a back and forth game for awhile, before we go on a big scoring run. Something like 20-2. We are due for an offensive explosion.
But it would be okay if we decided to squeak this one out, and save the offense for Wisconsin.

Anyone that watched the first Maryland game when Kofi was out should have had a sense of dread in their heart going into that Maryland game knowing Kofi wouldn't play.

I wish the kid well seems like a good guy with some skill. However I don't see or get where he is at presently! If I am on the team and injuried I would be on the bench supporting my teammates. I can not believe he is winning points not being there. I understand he had surgery but how hard is it to walk out there and sit in a chair. Two guys are doing it now with concussions
I thought Tate was the Sage of Monticello? No??
Audige, Buie, and Nance all elevated their game this year. Their record does not reflect the kind of team this is. Won't be a cake walk even if Kofi and or curbelo return.
Any hints on BBVs injury? He was in a ton of pain and limping late in the MSU game.

Thanks for sharing. Can anyone who has ever been and/or observed a concussion protocol shed some light on the tests that Kofi needs to clear?
BU said after the game that BBV was cramping and that he told him he was not getting any sympathy. I really like the way BBV has stepped up lately
Doesn't change the fact that we win more on the road than other Big Ten teams.
Yep he has to test negative to practice, right?
Not sure on the isolation rules, thought they were still 5 days after the last positive?
at any rate this is GREAT news

Hope so, and does feel like Grandison and Plummer are due (Kofi playing and being the center of gravity for defensive attention would certainly help enable that!).
In any event, this is exactly the type of game we need to find a way to win if we want to hang a BIG championship banner. In the end, doesn't matter whether the win comes easy because the bb gods are smiling/3s are falling or or if it is another hardfought BU culture win. Just win baby!
Here's the latest CDC guidance:
Ending isolation if you had symptoms:
End isolation after 5 full days if you are fever-free for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medication) and your symptoms are improving.
It reads to me someone only has to wait 5 days after first positive as long as the other conditions are met.
Guess he tested positive after the game Friday or on Saturday?
Realistically curbelo could've tested positive anytime between the MD and MSU game right? BU did mention he didn't practice Sunday, although he said it was the flu.
I would assume the only way he could even be scheduled to practice would be if he had passed the 5 day threshold.
You are correct. This is going to be a tough game to win no matter who shows up.
Bbv is fine, just a charlie horse
