They just put the stat up that this Northwestern team is putting up more points per game since 1970 for them. N-I-L

their football team also went to and won a bowl this year and beat PSU in beaver. They are on the rise bc of nil
On the rise? They are 8-7/0-4. Beyond Martinelli who is incredible there isnt that much of a talent differential

Weird. I thought Pike was doing so well here that the RAC was always going to be sold out. Oh well. Everyone is due for a rebuild at some point after so much success.
Its 6-6500 like last couple and they still keep saying 8k in box score

Pretty much what I anticipated. These two teams are equal with the exception of Martinelli, who is a consistent scorer.

This is one of six or seven B1G games RU has a legitimate shot at winning. I expect it to go down to the wire.

Pikiell is 8-3 vs. Collins.

Pike has some talent, he just needs to play them together

Pike rinse and repeat doesn’t matter how you’re doing he’ll still play you. He’s like a robot.

Rutgers hanging in getting alot help from Powers and Buchanhan. Really limiting NW 2nd chances and not turning it over. Its a strugglefor NW in halfcourt

One thing I notice about Powers - he usually misses threes from the left wing, but is more accurate from the top and from the right wing.

Come on, he’s simply giving breathers to Zrno like he’s an important part of the team. He has no feel for the game flow.

Impressed with Arrington Page. Dude is 6-11 but has a sweet stroke for a big man. 4-4 so far.
