    Story: Tre Singleton to the portal

    All due respect, the comparison to MLB here is nonsense. The Pittsburgh Pirates may well be poorly run but they are neither financially incapable of retaining Paul Skenes nor building a competitive roster around him. As for Collins, he is signed through 2028 and it seems quite unlikely NU...

    6 wins in 6 days? WE GOT THIS

    NU has never won 3 games in a single Big Ten Tournament. Seems like as good a time as any to break that unfortunate streak.

    Bowl Game slight

    Not only has Penn State been to the Pinstripe Bowl before, but they are in fact now going to be the first Big Ten team to play in that particular bowl twice. That said, both Minnesota and NU have played in that bowl more recently than Penn State. And Minnesota's been to Detroit multiple times...

    WAIT. DOES BARNHIZER HAVE ELIGIBILITY LEFT????

    If they said “Barnhizer” it was in error. It’s Martinelli who did this.

    WGN Reporting - settlements for athletes hazed

    That’s not quite right. Fitzgerald is bringing breach of contract claims regarding the termination AND also tort claims, alleging intentional infliction of emotional distress and defamation — specifically, that he was harmed by NU’s statement that said he failed to carry out his...

    NU FB lawsuits

    You don’t think NU’s lawyers will want to at least depose Fitzgerald before settling?

    Roster in review and the future

    There are only 2 open spots, currently. 12 scholarships currently filled. Buie, Langborg, and Preston are leaving; Ciavarino and Windham are coming in. Obviously, as you note, more could open: -Berry and/or Nicholson could elect not to return -Others could leave via transfer

    Yale's band couldn't travel with their team to March Madness; so the Idaho Vandals stepped in

    It’s not a question of cost. NCAA pays the transportation/lodging/per diem for every school in the tournament — including team, band, and cheeeaders. Most likely they are on spring break and band did not stick around in case they made the tournament.

    Brooklyn, we did it! ROLL CALL: who else is going?

    Anyone here getting their tickets through NU? What section did you get?

    NCAAs: Where and when might we play?

    If they beat Wisconsin, Purdue, and Illinois on Friday/Saturday/Sunday, they’d certainly move up in the seeds, but a 5 seems very unlikely. Maybe to a 6. There are of course easier paths to winning the BTT that involve our friends from West Lafayette and/or Champaign suffering an upset before...

    BTT, Tournament

    There’s just so much bad ju-ju for NU in the BTT that it seems difficult to expect anytbing. NU has played 36 games in the Big Ten Tournament and has exactly 2 upsets: 1. 2003, when NU beat a Minnesota team that went to the NIT semifinals, and 2. 2017, when NU beat a ranked Maryland team in...

    Great now we can root for big dopey Edey and Purdue's Home Cooking Refs Today

    It is a dumb tiebreaker. That said, winning percentage against top 4 teams is a tie for NU (3-3) and UNL (2-2).

    NCAAs: Where and when might we play?

    Tennessee is currently projected as a #1 seed which would put an 8/9 game in Charlotte rather than Salt Lake. Agree that Memphis (Houston), Brooklyn (UConn) and Indianapolis (Purdue) are the other likely sites for 8/9 games. And yes, as noted above, NU cannot be placed in the bracket in a spot...
