    Story: Tre Singleton to the portal

    Gut punch. No way to spin this one

    Will we accept a Crown bid if offered?

    Given the youth of our roster, more games and practices seem beneficial. Has the staff indicated either way?

    Northwestern's season, Martinelli's career, come to a close with 81-68 loss to Purdue

    “I’ve got to be better with roster construction and making sure we have the right kind of guys who are going to be good players here” is a shot across someone’s bow… but whose? Windham, Green, Page, all of the above? Windham quoted in the Daily that he is coming back to Northwestern “as of...

    6 wins in 6 days? WE GOT THIS

    Would be wild and probably one of the oddest cases ever for the committee as we’d be one game under .500 with a title game loss and finished 15th in our league. But we’d also have rattled off three wins against likely top four seeds in a row and have a reasonable NET rating. Fun to imagine, but...

    What has changed in the last several games

    I think he is just soaking up some of the Page minutes because of his defensive prowess, though was nice to see him make a couple triples the other day. I have come around to @ThatadultfromHolland ’s viewpoint on role overlap. It isn’t that Mullins or Green aren’t working hard, but Clayton has...

    BTT Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Indiana

    Had we not blown Minny and Purdue we’d be 17-16 and probably have a resume not that unfavorable to Indiana’s…

    BTT probabilities

    There has never been a team in NU history where “blow it all up and start from scratch” was less appropriate than what we have to work with going into 26-27.

    BTT probabilities

    I think my problem with this whole line of thought is it drastically underestimates what happens when the guys on our roster actually get better. The barrier to entry is higher, but so is that talent level we are starting with, and so are our player dev mechanisms and results. We have an...

    Nick Martinelli, an unorthodox star tailor-made for Northwestern

    Crazy stat

    Draft

    Not surprised at all. At some point production matters above projected athletic ceiling. Tracking to back to back B1G scoring titles and he improved his splits to 50-40-80 while being the sole focus of opposing defensive schemes. He will find a way to score in the Association. Question will be...

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Oregon

    I want Purdue also. We need an upset over a ranked team. Why not a nice run and maybe a win in the BTT? Crown wouldn’t be silly at all at that point.

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Oregon

    The huge, skyward offensive rebound for Singleton to keep the possession alive was critical. Not Singleton’s best game, but he found ways to contribute. Same for Page.

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Oregon

    “Jordan Clayton is the only ‘Cat I want shooting threes” was not on my preseason bingo card.

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Oregon

    RIP Gelo’s minutes today after that backdoor dunk brain fart. Maybe I get to see some Max Green now. (Who am I kidding?)

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Oregon

    If all we did was make the wide open shots we’d be in the bubble conversation. I cannot recall a team getting this many uncontested threes and just laying brick.
