    Martinelli: 2nd team

    Twice the leading scoring in the B1G. Neither time did he make the first team.

    And extremely deep pull-up threes while not even to move the ball or probe their interior defense.

    Yes, he’s been hard of himself for poor leadership, and unfortunately while he’s had some good results in a few games, he’s also been the culprit in at least as many losses.

    No defense, missed 1-1 by Mart, no defense again, deep pull-up three attempt by Mart, deep pull-up three attempt from Mart. This sequence was just poorly coached and poorly executed by our star. Been a lot of these this losing season.

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. No. 15 Purdue

    Reid played well for much of the game but then in the last minutes fouled on a three, lobbed a grenade to Clayton at the end of the shot clock, then fell down on NU’s last chance to equal the score.

    What a first-year meltdown from Singleton. Inexcusable mistakes under pressure. Moment was way too big for him. Then Windham enters the game after no action for how long? At least he got on the stat sheet. Baffling.

    The effort was there, the shooting and stamina were not

    No point in having a young team. That way you'll never beat the teams that are old every year.

    Speculation....

    I don't it's too complicated. Nick has definitely worn down. KJ was decent last year, and the team is not good this year. Reid is too short to succeed at this level of basketball, which is why he was available for NU.

    My point exactly. It's not like the guys on the court are playing well. This team can't win without shooting from outside. And the two "best" outside shooters sit on the bench. (I'm not saying they would win more games this way. I'm only saying that the team on the court that can't shoot threes...

    I think they’d already hit the brakes and seized up by that point but it sure didn’t help.

    What does ChatGPT think?

    Hard to imagine how Collins could have missed how teams would just bully his switching man-to-man by getting any decent player on Reid and just shoot over him like he’s a HS guard.

    Collins teams used to have a problem of trying to sit on leads. You could see the moment in this game up 16 when they decided to bleed clock and take long threes. Missed almost all of them. Basketball is a game of runs. A good team can turn 16 points down into 11 points ahead without much...

    Final season heading downhill for him. Has to be hard knowing how much he struggled as a leader to help this team play together.

    And Reid went back to being Reid. Almost the entire comeback came with bad defense and TOs from these two.

    Shooting Alternatives

    Yes, Green made that shot. First bucket of the game.
