    BTT Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Indiana

    Yeah, like I argued a week ago, we really weren’t that far away. The advanced ratings like us. A few baskets/stops here and there. Wish Nick could get another run at it with this roster a year older and stronger. West’s emergence (and Tre, who isn’t lighting it up statistically but is growing...

    BTT probabilities

    We’re a lot closer than the 2-13 start or whatever it was would indicate. The Minnesota and Rutgers games early on were big. Iowa and Purdue could have gone the other way. We put scares into Michigan and MSU. It’s a really young team, only one guy who had played a full Big Ten schedule of...

    BTT probabilities

    Fun fact, we're 66 in Kenpom this year, despite our record. Our 2011 team that was 20-14 was 84. Obviously wins and losses are what matter. And schedules these days are more optimized for advanced rating systems than they were then. But this team is a lot closer than the record would...

    On the non-call at the end last night

    It was a shooting foul. We got away with one. How many times did Nick get hacked under the basket with no call? I will enjoy beating IU with no apologies for as long as it continues to happen.

    Good and Bad

    Unfortunately, it doesn’t work this way in basketball like the four-game rule in football. If he’s not hurt for the year, then playing a game burns the shirt. That’s why Clayton is a junior and not a sophomore after last year. The calculation is can he help us enough now to merit losing the...

    Good and Bad

    I think/hope we’ll look back on the end of that game as the night Tre Singleton realized he’s better than a lot of his opponents at this level. I get that we had a lot of unbalanced scoring, but we had a game right before that where a guy scored 16 in 9 minutes. I’m glad we have a lane to...

    Great Road Win

    It feels like a multipurpose events center that’s part of a conference campus, which is exactly what it is. Perfectly nice place to watch a game but more sterile. Sat in the upper deck and certainly was higher up than equivalent seats at W-R, but a good view. The parking garage next door was...

    DePaul did beat both Loyola (Chicago) and Notre Dame in exhibitions.

    Yes, but rebounding is coachable and Collins’ teams have often punched above their weight on it. Ciaravino and Singleton in particular will be good pieces, I think. Clayton had a few bounce out of his hands. Kropp has a long way to go, to be expected for a freshman big. But rapid development...

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Cleveland State

    Don’t love: Reid, Page and Singleton coming up gimpy, though it SEEMS we got out okay. Want KJ to find his rhythm - Collins has to find his rotation and figure out KJ’s role. We will need him and his shooting sooner or later. Love: Everything else. Was enthusiastic about Green in the...
