    ARRINTEN PAGE IS A ‘CAT!

    It's way more interesting. According to reports, a UCF assistant coach shopped himself and former 5* center Moustapha Thiam as a package, demanding a two-year guaranteed salary, above market for an assistant. Most passed, Cincinnati ended up with the center and asst coach. This happened in mid...

    Free throws

    Having players shoot (set shot) with one hand is an effective way to teach proper form and clean up a ton of mechanical errors. Remove the weak hand and you force the strong hand/arm into correct position. The elbow that would otherwise flare out suddenly is tight....the upper arm is parallel...

    The MKE Tip-Off Experience

    Ty Berry was solid on defense....given his size, he was an absolute beast. The recommendation to not start him, or give others his minutes because he's not hitting shots at the same clip as last year is the clearest way to say, "I don't know much about basketball" without saying "I don't know...

    Northwestern basketball signs all five 2025 commits

    Pretty sure that Gill is the first recruit from St. Ignatius since Art Aaron. Gaddis Rathel who was a year ahead of Art was also from St. Ignatius.

    Welcome to our new normal

    It's atrocious. Was Hickey's team that did the investigation engaged and informed of any new information received since Friday? The right thing to have done.....after releasing a redacted report and letting Hickey talk to the media....would have been to announce 1. new information has been...

    Lou can you please give us a summary?

    Lou is correct. It's to NU's benefit to get the report out. Crisis Management 101. NU announced this on a Friday later afternoon. That is generally accepted as an attempt to bury the news. And they withheld information, though others outside the university had the same info (accurate or...

    Rittenberg: Collins close to three-year extension

    Recognizing the fact that this was a bit of a down year for the Big Ten does not take away from NU's or CCC's accomplishments. Michigan State was not a monster. Nor OSU. Wiscy dropped a fair amount. NU and PSU...and Rutgers...rose. Catatonic make valid points. It was a similar situation in the...

    Princeton grad transfer Ryan Langborg visiting NU this weekend

    Given a choice between... A college senior lined up all of the sports media in another town and put them under an embargo as to his future plans; and, a reporter living on the same campus, covering the same team that said senior just spent a couple days visiting and so was able to find a...

    Princeton grad transfer Ryan Langborg visiting NU this weekend

    Your beef is with the source, not the reporter. It's utter nonsense to expect a reporter to sit on a story so that one of the principals can announce it publicly. It is literally the antithesis of what is taught at Medill or practiced anywhere in the U.S.

    Collins Might Actually Be Saving His Job

    If he can get this team to the tourney or the NIT he may very well have another offer come Spring. And so why stay at NU? Recruiting restrictions are ridiculous compared to all other Big Ten schools. The AD put him in a hole with his comments in regards to mens bball last year. This team does...
