    MN in a "limited" role

    What would be the upside in issuing a formal statement, whatever his status is? Keep making teams game plan for him.

    My bad, I’m sorry again

    I am relieved. I thought it was my fault bc I turned it OFF at that point, and boarded a plane for ORD. In-air WiFi wasn’t working (American) otherwise I would have watched. These metrics can be tricky to unpack!

    Resetting expectations - if Matt is out for the season

    Exactly. The refs don’t know how to call fouls on Boo, which is ridiculous. But I love how he doesn’t complain. Meanwhile they’ve made a decision how to call fouls on Edey. Okay it’s late enough in the season, no more rants fr me 😗

    Bubble watch

    Respectfully, either show your cards, or fold.

    Peeking ahead- what does next year look like?

    Lots of possibilities. But I also see Berry and Big Matt coming back. CCC and staff have a good recent track record of identifying and keeping the right guys and helping them develop. In hindsight we lost the right guys. Let’s take care of business now, which is a good NCAA seed, on to the 2nd...

    46-8 FT attempts

    And to be clear, I thought the refs were acceptable this game - meaning an equal # of questionable/bad calls on both sides.

    46-8 FT attempts

    100%. Last yr the story from announcers was that he’s so unique the refs “needed to learn” how to ref Edey, which I didn’t buy fo one second. Same rules guys. It’s obvious they have decided how they will call a game with him. Damn that arena is tough. End of day, it’s definitely the best I’ve...

    NU @ UW Prediction Thread

    This is the game the ‘Cats aren’t supposed to win, but do. No score prediction. I was at last night’s game, so here’s to a double win weekend.

    Scrimmage?

    2 more points: I think Brooks B is poised to make a big jump in general. Apparently students demand for tickets is so high that they have instituted some system where students earn points where the more events they attend they improve their place in the student ticket pool/line/whatever...

    Scrimmage?

    Yes. Defense is an emphasis and big Matt is a leaner and quicker! The scrimmage wasn’t pretty, but there was a lot of strong defense by the entire squad. The other big (grad transfer) looks good. Buie looks great. I think Berry could be great and a big scorer. But hard to really tell much. There...

    Brooks

    Brooks is a badass! Looking forward to the scrimmage.

    Franklin on crowd noise

    I was thinking the same thing about his fax cancellation. Such a classless move to not call The AD and Fitz. He was giving NU the finger. So he’s gone from immature to cringeworthy arrogance. I really really dislike Franklin.
