    Shurna/Buie

    Esch is the best player I've seen at NU in the past 30 years. Boo is arguably the most important, imo, though I understand the case for the Bryant or Law. Audige arguablly the toughest perimeter defender. Shurna was an excellent player and great kid, but didn't stand out to me the way Esch...

    Thank you ‘Cats!

    Agree, this team went so much farther than anyone could have expected or believed and the guys played with as much heart and toughness as any bball team in the country and any NU bball team I've seen.

    Chase and Boo- Will they return?

    That was the #1 defense in the country focused on stopping Boo and letting other people beat them. Audige stepped up and Boo started going late, but overall a great game for both of them considering that was the most talented team and defense they've seen all year and we almost won. I don't...

    Chase Audige

    Vic Law is bigger, longer, more athletic with a nicer 3 pt shot and he didn't stick to an NBA roster though he did play a few games. I don't think Audige has any real chance at the next level though I am grateful for everything he has done at the college level. If he was a 40% 3 pt shooter...

    Recruiting

    ya recent articles suggest Bronny is the best defensive player in the country, growing in size and athleticism and now projects to a lottery pick. who knows but he certainly seems to have improved the past year. I am definitely impressed with his polish and poise given how much scrutiny he...

    Less physically talented, but so far arguably better results on the court.

    Do we need 1 more win to clinch a bid

    I think Indiana is more talented than Purdue and their star big man is more talented all around than Purdue's.

    We played poorly … (!)

    We shot about 23% from 3 pt range and beat a ranked team. 3 pt shooting is usually the great equalizer in basketball (akin to turnovers in football), yet we are arguably the most overachieving team in the country (relative to expectations) despite being bad at the one thing that is usually...

    Sun Times article about Wildcats basketball

    I would agree with the general sentiment that this team has the lowest margin of error of any NU team I've ever seen that is actually in the hunt for a tourney bid. Frankly, it may have less physical talent than many teams that were not in the tourney hunt. We are just making the game a rock...
