Sorry for the kid. Not one bit sorry for IU.
Pretty much where I'm at. Obviously I feel
For the kid. Incredibly selfishly and sadistically its nice to have another team fee our pain.
Undefeated team doesn't mean you can't still have some problems....

Yes, that was a very ugly game.
Strangely, they mentioned the surgery during the game, but didn't seem to know last night that he was out for the year.

Tough blow for IU. Kid was shooting 46% from three. I won't lose any sleep over it though.
Another one out, no wonder we were after him....

The JG hex or something
. If he'd have come here, he'd have gotten injured in preseason. His transfer certainly didn't work out well, unfortunately.

Ugh, as someone who with an associates who's back in college going for a bachelors 10 years later i wouldn't wish that much schooling on anybody.
True Facts of Evan Eschmeyer:
1) The NCAA let him play for an entire decade because they felt bad for both him and Northwestern.
2) He played one year in the NBA at age 40 and retired the very next year.
3) Speaking of retirement, Northwestrn retired his jersey the last year he played as a hint that it was time to move on.
Ok, none of those were true.
