Saw a stat on X last night about Purdue: when Smith takes 12+ shots a game Purdue is undefeated. In all of Purdue's losses in the last 2 years, Smith has taken less than 12 shots.

Easy solution right after the opening tipoff.

Spent some of your NIL money I see.

[Muskie plays the four 269]

Good one in Evanston.

Nortwestern/Illinois going overtime.  Illinois had a long three point shot miss with about 15 seconds to go ahead and then Northwestern misses a fall away three as time expires Miss as well.  Really bad play design on both.  Really thought Collins should have used a time out to set up a play because it was going nowhere.

Barnhizer is so strong, no idea why a stepback 3 was the move there.

Illinois and Northwestern just played in football a week ago. Pretty creative scheduling, or maybe the Big Ten just randomly did it. 

 

Don't want to see it until Woodson's gone, but I wonder if we'll ever play Purdue in early December. 

[RaceToTheTop 26,286]

Illinois and Northwestern a combined 11 of 50 from three tonight.

[RaceToTheTop 26,286]

Northwestern answering everything Illinois every time they hit a big shot in OT.  Northwestern up 3 and on the line for an and one with 1:34 left.

Jackucionis -- Illinois freshman -- is really good.

[RaceToTheTop 26,286]

Northwestern beats Illinois in OT, 70-66

[RaceToTheTop 26,286]

Jakucionis 6 of 10 for three for Illinois;  the rest of the team was 3 of 24.

Not bad for a team that also needed OT to beat Eastern Illinois.

Yes. I loathe Purdue. But, this man in the linked article? Was one of my high school teachers in the 90's and helped shape my life. One hell of a man.

Yeah, and a really poor game from an Illinois team that was coming off a 13 point neutral court win over a ranked Arkansas team.  

Illinois is kind of the anti-IU team -- offense built completely around the three right now and when they are hitting they are hard to stop;  when they aren't, you get the offensive output they had against Northwestern.

Michigan St cooked Nebraska. Ohio State soundly beat Rutger.

 

Home court in the B1G is so tough. NW beating Illinois last night.

 

Gotta win the home games.
