Northwestern

Nice all around effort so far tonight (under 16:00 TO). Brooks is hot. Wagner...wow. All over the place.

good to see how good this team can be when all cylinders are hitting. Forget about the 1st 3 minutes of the game and after that they were pretty dam good

Our defense is better than I though. Of course Smith and Brown help there A LOT. Brown is a beast! and when he gets hot from 3 he will carry our team.

I sorta assumed our defense would suffer when recruiting possible one and dones. But I guess we haven't gotten to that point in the makeup of the team. Only 1 freshman is getting significant minutes so the upperclassmen are running the show still.

BTW artist, Livers looked AWFUL last night. He kept driving into the lane when there was nothing there. And he'd run into them and complain about not getting a foul.

And another thing, the refs last night were pretty good. They let the kids play. The tech on Brown was ticky tack but he did hang. So many B1G games are hijacked by refs with egos.

Hope Livers can break the funk soon. We'll need him. Oh, he's still shooting 40% from 3!

I thought they looked good. Brown's contributions off the bench are a real game changer. Seems like he's embracing that role and really showing out every time he gets on the floor. I love that selflessness in a player in any sport at any level.
