    Where the Roster Stands

    I was not sure if that had hit the free board. But there is value in paying for Rock. I think most people would find the investment worth it to stay ahead of the curve. The expectation is that Page is not returning.

    Where the Roster Stands

    NU can roster 15 scholarship players. Based on eligibility, here are the 11 players who can return. Hurlburt is kind of a grey area as the new rules eliminate walkons but I am going to assume for purposes of this post that (1) he's coming back for a 5th year and (2) he's on scholarship (3) as...

    LAWYER POLL: Could Martinelli sue for a 5th year? He played less than 15% of potential minutes as a freshman

    Unless the NCAA adopts the five year eligibility rule this will not happen. Collins has a strategy in this roster rebuild. When everyone else is locked in the portal, he's building with youth. The Freshman and Sophomore classes will be the heart of the team for the next 3 years. These are...

    What has changed in the last several games

    You are wrong about Reid. It took him time to change his game to fit the system and the league. He will be much better next season running alongside West. I would argue that the late season improvement is more a part of Colin’s returning to what made his prior teams successful than anything...

    We Did Come to Play School!

    There was huge roster turnover combined with a decision to change playing style. We forget how much Brooks was a one man wrecking crew on defense. The only player on the roster who could approach that level is Gelo. Every other player due to youth or inexperience is a minus defender. We all...

    Finally

    The anomaly was USC taking 43 free throws. It ruins the game. Especially when they refuse to call a clear foul on USC in the last minute when they mugged West and called a jump ball. Just some amazing stuff from the zebras. That said, this is what happens in the Big10 where refs feel the...

    Finally

    Some people probably tried to watch but immediately turned it off due to the Pink/Black/Cardinal and Gold color clash which, when combined with USC shooting 43 free throws, made it a tough watch. I'll take the refs from the Nebraska game over this crap any day.

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Howard

    Weird that he’s dressed … given that’s the case

    On the bench. Dressed but has a sleeve on his leg.

    Parking question

    I would eat the fee to park in the lot through NU. Evanston has eliminated game day street parking - $125 ticket. The biggest issue for hoops parking will always be that NU does not clear out the lot before games with the hospital and other parking. Hopefully it will get better when the...

    This team needs an exorcism

    My read on the team: The biggest issue with the team is that they would have benefitted in a big way from an experienced 6'8-6'10 rebounder/defender to play alongside Page and Martinelli. But do you bench Singleton for this? The next biggest issue is the drop-off in all around play at the...

    NCAA is a joke

    One "ic" left and another "ic" came on board. It is a joke. Technically, a coach could suggest to his players that they were not going to play and rebuild a team 1/2 through the year using pro players from Europe.

    Bennerman MIA

    This is the issue with the new NIL era. Can you even afford to take a developmental guy or are you better served by bringing in a starter from a lower conference? I would argue that you are better served by taking a 20 year old mid major player or a European player. The Illini apparently lost...
