Northwestern up 13 at half on Sparty 

 

[HoosierTrav]

Northwestern is going to beat us if we play even remotely close to how we did on Saturday. Hopefully the men are ready for a fight. NW is dominating Sparty right now.

This is where I kind of have a problem. I know college football and college basketball are different, but if the Big Ten is going to insist on keeping teams like Indiana, Maryland, Illinois etc. down in football, than teams like Rutgers, NW, PSU and teams need to be kept down by conference in basketball.

I know what I am saying is not logical, but based on their system, if the Big Ten want to keep IU and bottom feeders down in football, it needs to do the same with the historic bottom feeders basketball. Instead, they have no problem with everyone being good in basketball, which while makes for a tough conference and allows teams to beat up on each other and drag down the better teams slightly.

Obviously, I don't want anyone held down in basketball really, but if the Big Ten is not going to care about NW, PSU ETC. bubbling up in  basketball, it needs to not sabotage IU and other bottom feeders in Football.

Can't have it both ways but it appears that is what Big Ten wants.

Northwestern is hitting everything it feels like.  1-5 they hit shots.  TJD vs Nance will be a battle.

[Uspshoosier]

Let’s see if northwestern can close one out.    They controlled the Pitt game until they last 4 min and lost.   Last year they were close but never got over the hump.   They are up 15 with 5 min to go.

Don’t worry—Izzo will take this in stride  ;)

Northwestern is probably up too much to blow this but their shot selection at the end of these games they are close in are laughable and they just keep doing them

In my opinion, it's because of the different dynamics are involved. For football, you want a few to rise to the top because that will allow you to get to the bigger bowls. So, they help the few programs to be the flagship representative for the conference. As for basketball, you want as many as possible in a true tournament unlike football. With more teams, means a better looking conference.

Izzo pissed off and clearing the back of the bench.

NW with two straight layups.

Sparty had been playing with fire the last couple of “cupcake” games they played.   They gave up 91 to a 0-9 Oakland team and Detroit give them them a game 

nice win for Northwestern.  Just makes the league that much deeper.

St. Louis/Minny on FS1 

[Uspshoosier]

Can’t wait to hear izzo cry about a no name freshman ranked in the 140’s hitting 3-4 from 3’s against him.   Lol.  His name is Berry and he has been playing pretty good so far this season.   Henry didn’t have his best game tonight.

Trying to remember a game when MSU was worse defensively. Couldn’t control dribble penetration. Rotations were late. Crazy undisciplined. Kind of floored by that one. Oh, and these analysts who said they wouldn’t miss Winston because of Rocket Watts? Yeah.

Can you imagine the meltdown some of the posters here would have if IU lost by that much to NW?! But wait, it happens to other teams to regardless of how good they are???

So true.

And I will guarantee you this: on at least one occasion IU will lose to a team that we most certainly should not have lost to.

And when that happens, THE SKY WILL FALL!

Izzo’s looks like he’s tearing up in this press conference. But what he’s saying is dead right.

It already has.
