IUBB vs Northwestern - Tuesday, 02.24.26 @ 7:00 on FS1

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

  Can't flush it quickly enough.  Northwestern (11-16) (3-13) and if we can't kick their a$$...............!   

Wildcats average 74 ppg basically same as their opponents shooting 46% FG and only 32% on 3s.  Not a good rebounding team at 32 rpg with a -5 margin.  They average just 9 turnovers/game so they're not careless with the ball.  Nick Martinelli is their go-to guy averaging 22 ppg on 50% FG and 44% on 3s.  He's also their leading rebounder at 6 per game.  Arrinten Page, one time IU target, averages 10 ppg on 55% FG and 5 rpg.  Tre Singleton, a freshman from Jeffersonville, IN, I've seen mentioned as a possible portal entry.  Plays 25 min/game averages 8 ppg on 47% FG but a measly 17% on 3s.  Averages 5 rpg.   Lose this one and the fat lady probably starts singing.

Can we please not let Martinelli have a game against us.

Need to come out with our hair on fire. If we're flat and lethargic again, I'm going to lose a lot of faith in this staff. 

[HoosierHoopster]

We’ll crush NW

[FortWayneHoosier]

We have to destroy this NW team.

I Don’t think iu will destroy them.  Despite the bad season Northwestern fights all game and besides getting blown out by the elite teams they have managed to keep most their B1G reasonable.

I will gladly settle for a 10+ point win.  Beggers can't be choosers. 

[HoosierHoopster]

Coming off the PU embarrassment our guys and staff will come out firing on all cylinders. 

[Shooter]

We badly need this one. Despite their record, predictive metrics have Northwestern as more of a Minnesota-level team, a step above the true bottom of the conference teams we've been blowing out.

Would love to see a convincing performance to build confidence going into MSU.

Maybe but just shows where the program DeVries took over is at currently.     I don’t care who the coach of IU is going 3-7 in a 10 game span where those wins were 1 in 2OT, 2 pt win and 4 pt win is ridiculous.  Hopefully he starts a new winning streak
