    How do we fix the refs?

    Blocking/reach in/ hand check fouls early in the game are called randomly in the big ten. Usually benefits the home team but can go either way. And worse for the product and for the conference come in March. Its a huge issue

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Indiana

    We need to continue to go at Goode if they are gonna leave him on the floor. He is not strong or quick enough to keep Nick or Brooks away from the bucket.

    Game Thread: Northwestern at Washington

    Even if its a new QB, How is there not any package for an under center sneak? So pathetic

    Anyone up to speed on Miami OH?

    They lost their All American Kicker to Alabama, which could certainly factor in a close game.

    Who is the fifth best player on the roster?

    So far it has been Blake Smith. Hope Hunger improves enough to become the 5th, but to me he is still a minus on both ends of the floor. There is a dynamic he can add to the offense stretching the floor but for now he misses too many easy looks at the rim and doesnt offer much as a passer.

    OT: Iowa/LSU

    Caitlin Clark dates Connor McCaffery... bit of a red flag.

    Strauss

    His defense was great, already making him a plus to have on the roster going forward. This is definitely a guy you want to have as an option in certain matchups. 2 more years of eligibility, program guy, we still have room for 2 more transfers. He is limited as a spacer but all we really need is...

    Guarding Jahmir Young at a high level at the Xfinity Center (like 2 weeks after burning your red shirt) doesnt make you a bonafide B1G Player?

    Our guy is in the portal: Malik Mack, Harvard

    Cooper Flagg is one of the best players in recent history. Worth every penny. No doubt #1 pick in next year's draft barring injury.

    MSU should be sweating

    People only saying they should be in the tournament because of a hideous white guy. Its bizzare

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Wisconsin - Big Ten Tournament

    Hepburn was a 1st team all league defender. Hopefully Boo can get some more open shots in his absence.

    How big is the bubble? Or: Why we are safe (2024 version)

    This bracket was updated yesterday and has us as the 2nd 9 seed: https://131sports.com/ (rated 2nd best bracketologist by bracketmatrix) That gives us an 8 team cushion between where we are and playing in Dayton. Don't think we'd fall below the First four, but there is a chance 2 losses puts us...

    Bubble watch

    Last night I tuned into SDSU UNLV and Nevada Boise St, First time really watching the mountain west this year. I was amazed at how slow and small the mountain west teams looked. If that is a 6 bid league, there is 0 circumstance in which NU should miss the tournament. Man the bubble must be weak
