    Not that I know this to be a certainty, but I believe the answer to that is $$$$

    Anyone want tickets for tonight?

    Yeah, the 20 was from eyeballing it on tv. It was an exhibition, but against IA state there were 2 that were not band members. They left at the half. I know they show up when we are competitive. But I also know it drops to basically nothing when we are not. No middle ground. We give a lot of...

    Pratt and West combine for 41 as Northwestern tops Boston U, 72-55

    DePaul game will be the first test against bigger and faster. Even if not elite, or as good as IA state, it's different from Stony Brook or BU. Our backcourt can be fun but I can't get over how poor our interior play is. And it's not the inability to score, it's that I feel we will be bullied.

    Anyone want tickets for tonight?

    It's not surprising but it will never stop amazing me that out of 9,000 undergrads, there's not 20 that tell a bud "let's go hang out at the basketball game".

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Stony Brook

    Did not see it and am curious about tonight. My impression against IA State was not that we were devoided of offensive talent, it just needs (a lot of) work. My impression was that we are going to struggle keeping teams under 80 in conference.

    Basketball parking?

    I only go to a game or two a year. And it seems more and more you need a Phd to figure out the Evanston/Wilmette regulations. And football and basketball are different beasts. Anyway, two areas that are free, as of my last research, both 10 minute walks: 1) Maple Ave in Wilmette. But only East...

    Do you know what we get to do today?!??!?!

    I have rooted for the cats for long enough to remember when we did not expect to win. I can enjoy a season where we don't win. If I see progress, effort, working towards something. Last season was not it. I hope this one is.

    Pete Nance has not played yet this season but is, I believe, on a 2 way contract with Milwaukee. He played there last season.

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Iowa State (Exhibition)

    This. I believe part of not wanting him back, or not willing to spend much on getting him back, was due to West. And I am not thinking financially, though that could have played a part. I'm thinking they wanted to give the keys to West and Reid is not that attractive as a 2, and not worth the...

    Valkyries are tough. Caught a good chunk of a couple of games. They have a vibe/style that reminds of the bad boys Pistons.

    Great graph. Conclusion, retain. Or, more accurately, find players worth retaining and retain them.

    I only saw two and thought it was super cool

    So, why did Tre Singleton leave?

    ISU has been very solid for several years. Comparing their attractiveness to ours in terms of visibility is being delusional.

    Ghai knows how to defend the pick and roll. But his timing on showing, stepping back, covering the lob, is awful. But he moves fairly well at 7’3. And he’s not worse on his timing than Matt was as a freshman. Kid has enormous potential.

    You are right that switching all around, etc, gets better over time because it requires better coordination than straight man to man. The problem is that our big man were severely dominated. And that will throw everything out of whack.
