    POLL: Do you want to see Nebraska get their first-ever NCAA win?

    Very quick trigger. He would have been a great pickup, but I'll admit he really exceeded my expectations this year. Didn't think he would be THIS good this season. That said, I still think it's kind of ridiculous that he got first team Big Ten over Nick.

    POLL: Do you want to see Nebraska get their first-ever NCAA win?

    I am. I think they're a bit fraudulent because I think they can only beat good teams when the 3 point shot is falling, but I would love to see them get at least one win. If I'm Troy, I 100% focus on taking away Sandfort. I tell the guy that is on him that you don't even pretend to help. If we...

    Bubble Watch

    I mean, for "incredible television" I get it, but for the first 1-2 minutes after the entire field was selected to have a conversation that focused on Auburn (it adjacently discussed the first teams out) on the selection show, was a bit weird.

    Northwestern's season, Martinelli's career, come to a close with 81-68 loss to Purdue

    Nothing would surprise me in 2026 college basketball. So that feels possible (also could be total BS). I do think Tre will probably want some assurances that we’ll have a big guy or two that can actually play. I don’t think that’s the big freshman coming in (feels like a redshirt to me) and who...

    2025-26 NET rankings thread

    I’d be surprised if Minnesota accepted any postseason invite. They are so beat up - down to six players in their rotation the last few games.

    Wait til Fitz gets a hold of that fact!

    BTT Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Indiana

    Really nice half. We’re obviously at a big disadvantage on the boards (understandably), but would like to see us get a few more offensive boards. Right now we’re being held up by 55% shooting (50% from 3). Keep it going, boys. I like where we’re at.

    6 wins in 6 days? WE GOT THIS

    I am also rooting for Northwestern.

    Page OUT again

    Collins confirmed Page is out for at least the Indiana game (TBD after that if we continue on).

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Oregon

    Yeah, that was a travel. For sure. But hey, I’ll take it!

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Indiana

    Yeah, we benefitted from a bad call at the end and that will certainly be the focus. But you know what? We also deserve a ton of credit for playing great defense in the second half and making things hard for the Hoosiers. And our star showed up down the stretch and made huge shot after huge shot...

    Let's beat Iowa

    That was January of 2011 - my first year living in Iowa. I made the hour and 45 minute drive to Iowa City on a cold Wednesday night. I sat near the top of the arena and literally didn’t see another NU fan the whole night (I’m sure there were some others there, I just didn’t run into any). NU...

    This has to be a first in NCAA history

    I have no idea if this actually is a first, but I wonder if a team has ever been +10 in turnovers and lost by 40. That’s beyond incredible and I have a hard time thinking that’s ever happened.

    Northwestern-UCLA Game Thread

    I’m pretty surprised he didn’t get a T for that one. There’s a line, even if it was a bad call, and that probably crossed it.

    Northwestern-UCLA Game Thread

    Collins screaming timeout there, after not getting the timeout on the previous possession, and then staring down the ref was pretty great. The fact he didn’t get a T is 100% the ref realizing he screwed up.
