    What does ChatGPT think?

    For all the talk about Page and Reid, their Per 40 numbers are crazy. If you just saw those numbers you'd think they were having incredible years. Page seems like he cares too much, not too little. I hope he stays and reads a couple of sports psychology books so he can let things go more...

    What does ChatGPT think?

    I pointed it at the team stats and the Per 40 stats, which were also pretty interesting: PTS 1. Gus Hurlburt — 40.0 2. Nick Martinelli — 26.6 3. Arrinten Page — 19.4 4. Jayden Reid — 16.8 5. Tre Singleton — 12.9 6. Angelo Ciaravino — 11.9 7. Max Green — 11.9 8. K.J. Windham — 11.4 9. Tyler...

    What does ChatGPT think?

    I was pointing ChatGPT to our stats and asking questions. The defensive disrupter part reminded me how much we miss Brooks. He was the very definition. PROGRAM FIXES (Core Issues and Required Shifts) 1. Prioritize shooting over size in roster construction Big Ten basketball is now a...

    Shooting Alternatives

    This win at least cracks the door open. It’s hard not to think that with even one legitimate three-point threat, the entire offense would look different—better spacing, cleaner driving lanes, fewer possessions that feel like a grind. Digging around and looking for signs of hope: I wasn't able...

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. No. 8 Nebraska

    Every shot this team takes is an OSHA violation. Even Nick today. Good gameplan to swarm the boards, but if they get the O board we have to watch another shot. Almost can't take watching the shot arc and waiting for the CLANG. Someone is going to get hurt.

    Stats

    Turns out the ranking that was on the advanced tab was TS%, true shooting percentage. That includes getting to the free throw line, so that is even further from 3 point percentage. Anyway, it gives some idea of shooting ability.

    Since I've seen some great analysis on this and the previous messageboard over the years thought I would make an attempt. There may be better ways to do this, but for those that want more KJ, this sure points in that direction: We are poorly ranked at 3s, rebounding and steals. Who could...

    Watching Depaul...

    Watched part of the YouTubeTV highlights of this game and the score was pretty low still and there must have been 12 dunks. Must have been a dunk record by the end of the game.

    Stats

    Was looking at the stats: https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/northwestern/men/2026.html The good: 2P%: 89th AST: 26th BLK: 87th Turnovers: 1st, holy heck The bad: 3P%: 301st Rebounding: 300th Steals: 294th Seems about right, but still found it interesting.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs. Northwestern

    Happy to see Collins mixing it up. Try something, try anything. What do we have to lose at this point? Lost season unless we find some combination that works.
