Great win. Mart top notch as usual. Jake West 18 points and really good D. Tre tough inside on O and played an all around good game. The D only allowed 24 pts in the 2nd half. On the BTN they mentioned on a run NU made we had West, Tre, Gelo, Reid and Clayton. 2 freshman 1 sophomore and 2 juniors. A very young team. Can't wait for these guys to hit the weight room in the off-season. Well yes I can wait. Let's beat the Boilers tomorrow. Would love to see the team get an invite to the Crown.

West has risen to the next level in the past few games. He’s got talent, but best of all he’s so positive and has a clear joy for the game. It’s contagious for his teammates too.
He’s like if Bryant Macintosh and Nicky Buckets had a baby. He’s just a killer at point guard with the full set of basic skills, all of them developing and improving, and he’s got a massive dog in him and toughness for days. He’s not big or overly athletic, but he’s not small or slow either and he has extra gears. Im
Not saying he’s gonna be first team all conference or a league wide star or whatever, but he’s gonna be good and he just has that Northwestern Chris Collins it. We can all see it.

Some of those double teams were really good

Looking at Torvik's site, we would've needed to win both Minnesota games, along with Rutgers and Purdue at home to get to Dayton if we lose today. Would've needed to beat Purdue today to get into the main field. Just too many losses, but at least we can enjoy this late season run.

That's okay, we're just gonna make up for those four by winning the next four.

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 stronger via the eye test and developing a nice chemistry with West) makes this off-season to come quite interesting.
