    Boo Buie: AP All American “Honorable Mention”

    But he was still robbed, of course!

    Boo Buie: AP All American “Honorable Mention”

    I’m assuming that’s a bit tongue-in-cheek, but I imagine at this stage, you are looking at about one higher seed per win for us; three game winners (or just wins) would have put us in 2nd/3rd in the Big Ten, maybe as high as a 6 seed, and likely ranked 20-25 in the nation going into the Tourney...

    What do people think of BIG seedings?

    East coast bias. How much MWC basketball you watch this year? I’ll edit: I watched a lot. The Mountain West had a very strong group of teams this year. 7 teams that were strong, and a bottom four that were not great, but not total crap either. Should the Big East have had more than 3...

    Second-half thread for NU vs Ohio State

    Gaines gives it his all, but hard to watch on offense. Ryan Young is nifty!

    Second-half thread for NU vs Ohio State

    Anyone else fee like there were 4 or 5 over the backs that could’ve been called on dOSU that first half? Kept expecting the call, and consistently surprised at the lack. Lots of great energy that first half! Go ‘Cats!

    Second-half thread for Pitt-NU

    I read we had a 93% chance with 5 to go, so fear not, we are in the same place...

    VOTE: Who was the best NU kick returner over the last 25 years?

    I’m no mathematician, but for Vault, isn’t 50 returns for 1518 yards about 30.3 per rather than 25.3? Am I reading that wrong?

    VOTE: Who was the best Northwestern QB over the last 25 years?

    I was at school for Kustok’s years, and remember never being impressed despite the offensive success. Never liked the ball out of his hands. Thought the numbers would reflect my opinion, but I was very wrong. I didn’t remember how much success he had running. It seemed like Anderson was always...

    How long can the youth excuse be used?

    Experienced or exceptionally talented (and best if both) guards are the difference in closing out games (and deep tournament runs incidentally). We currently have fairly talented, inexperienced guards. Tell me which of these guys are the calm, been there/done that guy? Who is able to settle...

    Rate of Improvent

    I don’t think I was. If Jones or Nicholson push Young off the starting Center position in 21-22, that will change the lineup, but Jones doesn’t look close to doing that at the moment, so I went with my best guess for a couple years from now. I think Young looks solid and looks like he will...

    Rate of Improvent

    I keep thinking along these lines... Our current “optimal” starting 5 (minus Gaines due to season ending injury) is: Spencer- first year playing college ball Buie- freshman Young- freshman Nance- sophomore Kopp- sophomore First off the bench: Beran-freshman Turner- senior Jones- freshman...

    Other than the Cats

    San Diego State - having grown up in San Diego (and a few family members attending SDSU), I’ve been going to Aztec football/basketball games my whole life. Steve Fisher (of Fab Five fame) performed a miracle there and made a perennial doormat into a real program. Outstanding coach; better man...

    Even calling Spencer a senior deserves an asterisk. Moxie/makeup of a senior, but freshman experience. He’s like a redshirt sophomore to me.
