IUBB vs Northwestern - Sun 2-18-24 3pm FS1

[FortWayneHoosier 6,179]

Northwestern shoots the ball very well. Our boys in crimson (black) will have to tighten up the perimeter defense. I look for Ware and MM to play lights out tonight

Your pretty funny.

Yes, the season is in the toilet but a team favored by 2.5 points “should win easily”. Yeah, OK.

Has Northwestern ever won back to back in Assembly Hall? Might be seeing another first today.

I have car duty for my sons soccer but I’ll definitely watch on delay. Always do, no matter how little faith I have in the HC or team.

I watched live, NW kick our tail at home last season while JHS had a miniature coming out party in the second half as he almost willed us back.

This year…. I want to see Gunn get extended minutes. I’d like to see him start just to see if it looks as bad as it usually does. He offers too much on defense to sit him, I think. Give it a go.

Outside of that I expect ugly, boring basketball with no transition play, limited shooting, poor boxing out among the other IUBB staples.

I would rather see Leal start (him and Gallo play well off each other).  Mgbako shouldn’t be starting but obviously will.  I would be fine with Gunn getting a DNP if that means more minutes for Leal.

NW is on a 2 game Assembly winning streak right now; Dec 2020 and January 2023

I wasn't looking forward to this game, but I don't wanna be pre-empted for mother f**** bowling.

Hey, if we can get bumped by pickleball -- anything's possible!

Mike Woodson to Don Fischer on pregame radio regarding the status of Xavier Johnson: "I don't know when he's going to get back with us to play."

Woodson said the original timeline given for Johnson's return was "4 to 6 weeks." "Hell, that's damn near going into tournament play," Woodson tells Don Fischer.

Wait, they sent Fanta to do bowling coverage? What are we doing? That guy rocks.

Doesn't look like an excuse to me.

We are not a top team with or without X.

His excuse is the hump.  Or _________________ gotta work on that.

Too soon, Don...too soon.
