That sucks. I root for the Cats and think Collins is a damn good coach. Their roster is already thin and losing Berry will be really hard to overcome.

You gotta keep up. No one watches college hoops regular season anymore outside of a few die hards. Low ratings.

You should start the game thread tonight.

Rutgers takes down Northwestern.
4. Northwestern 8-6
MSU 8-6

I knew that NW was overrated. Once Boo leaves they’ll return to bottom feeder status. When it comes to sports from top to bottom NorthWestern does it the wrong way.

Not going to start a new thread but this was a blast from the past.

They did beat us, and Purdue though.

And we have to play them again.

they're good but it's gonna be tough without Berry. And last night another starter was ejected in the first half. Northwestern is well coached. Collins has done things there that have never been done.

He's made the Tournament twice (which is 2 more than all of their other coaches combined).

Hope they can close it out and get in this year. Teams like Indiana, UM, Ohio State, Maryland, and Iowa most likely will be sitting home.

I suspect NW losing Ty Berry for the season impacted them a bit last night.

Northwestern guard Ty Berry will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery Tuesday for a torn meniscus, coach Chris Collins announced Wednesday.

Northwestern ranks No. 7 nationally in 3-point percentage at 39.5%, thanks in large part to Berry's team-best 43.3% mark on 5.5 attempts per game. The 6-foot-3 senior was averaging 11.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game.

senior leadership and an pretty elite shooter, averaging nearly 12 a game.

NW also got screwed at Purdue. Berry is a big loss.

Yep. Losing Berry is a killer and last night was a tough road game environment. Collins has completely changed Northwestetn basketball. It used to be a visit to Evanston was a defacto home game for the visitor. Not anymore as the renovated Welsh Ryan arena is an advantage for the Cats. Finally, to the poster who suggested they do it " the wrong way" I say that's complete bullshit and an example as to why college sports are starting to suck

I wonder if OSU or UM (or IU) would look at hiring Collins.

he'd be insane to leave for any of those schools/programs. He seems like a Northwestern system guy.

or a MSU guy here in a few years..

I'd venture to guess being "the guy that revived Indiana basketball" would be a challenge confident coaches would want. You'd be a basketball god.

Um, meh. OSU would pay well.

I would hate to see him at either place

Less pressure at UM or OSU. Seems like a great fit at IU.

Maybe if he went to OSU or U of M he could start doing things "the right way"

We have to pray to the god of dingdongs that Warde likes rubbing elbows with the fab five more than he cares if a non-football team wins. That's how we keep this shitshow a rollin.

Yeah, I'm hoping the keep Juwan around

Sure looks like Warde is going to do just that. Which is wonderful and hilarious at the same time. I mean, it used to be they didn't fire you when you slapped an opposing coach in a handshake line. Because you were winning.
Or your star point crashing the AD's car drunk was worthy of just a couple games because you looked into his soul and determined he's a great kid. And because you were winning.

Now they completely suck, like Brian Ellerbe bad, and Juwan he STILL can't get fired. Probably because of the integrity he has always exhibited as a Michigan Man.

Close it out, Iowa.

Shit, really bad last possession for Iowa

Snuck it out in OT though.

Need a W tonight to take advantage.

tOsu just beat Purdue... Huh.

Edey is not good. He's tall, taller than most, but he is not good.

Need IU to knock off Northwestern.

Ain't happening.

Besides, it'll make our win against them in 2.5 weeks look a little better.

Cats are freaking tough.

agree but it's no gimme
They take such good care of the ball
3 turnovers today @Bloomington

Edey is plenty good as a 7-4 center. Many teams just don't have anyone close to matching up with him, including MSU. I think the surrounding cast for Purdue is better this year and they have a better shot at getting to the Final 4 and even winning. Despite losing to OSU yesterday Purdue will still win the Big10. Edey's final judgement will be how far Purdue goes in the NCAAT

Olivier Nknamkua (or however you spell his name) out for the season with a wrist injury.

Seriously? UM is screwed. Although their season is already screwed.

Indiana came back from a 20 point half time deficit v Nebraska last night and cut it to 3 but couldn't close the deal.

Woodson probably gone at year end.

Getting that close and not finishing the deal is more like "Blue Balls"

UM is 8/10 on 3s and is down 17.
