Worked out for Tarleton in the end but what a terrible foul call on them right before the under 4 timeout 

[johnsoniu]

Watching Keion Brooks with Washington and can’t help but think about how he and his dad insisted on him being a one and done. 
 

take heed mr. Mgbako

Imagine only watching high major basketball and missing out on games like this.   Going back and forth.   Awesome game.   Tarleton up 1 with 2 min to go

Northwestern looks terrible at home to start this game.  Michigan up 10 with 11 min to go in first half 

Northwestern up 3 at half.  Played like crap and still up 3

Fox Sports talking head said at halftime as if it were a matter of fact that "Boo Buie is the best player in the history of the program".  I immediately thought no.......that's Evan Eschmeyer.  Went back and looked at the stats Eschmeyer put up while surrounded by putrid talent and I think could confirm that.  John Shurna on that list as well.

Tarleton up 4 with 15 sec to go.    Did Grand Canyon get fouled on that 3 with a no call?    It’s on a muted tv so couldn’t tell

I would probably still take Buie

4 games on tonight that start at 11

Sorry guys.   Bardo said Bitter Beer face on the call of the Northwestern game.   You knows the rules.   Take a shot

Personally, I wouldn't.  People like to remember last year's Northwestern team and give Buie a ton of credit, but for the first three years of his career at Northwestern the Wildcats were 32-54 overall and 16-33 in conference.  Even after last season the Wildcats were 12 games under .500 overall with Buie and 13 games under .500 in conference with Buie.  As a junior, Eschmeyer was second in the Big Ten in scoring, first in rebounding, and third in field goal percentage.  As a senior he repeated his rebounding crown and was third in scoring.

Love you guys, but I'm sorry, y'all kinda suck on this one. 

You completely left out of the discussion the guy who may be the most celebrated player in Northwestern history; Billy McKinney.

He's not their Calbert Cheaney (Shurna or Buie are), but he's probably their Scott May, or given that he was an extraordinary player on some weak (late 70's) teams, maybe he's their Walt Bellamy.

When a bad NW team beat #1 Michigan with Phil Hubbard and Rickey Green, that was Billy McKinney owning Rickey Green for 40 minutes. An incredible player and still a legend that's affiliated with the program.

First Dance documentary on B1G network work on Northwestern when they made the tourney for the first time was a good one to watch.    Showed him talking to the team and their fans at a Rally before their first game and the emotion from him was awesome.  He definitely was their most beloved at the time.    Pretty sure he does radio for them as well

Freakin’ love it.
