Let me know. I have them.

It’s time to do so.

Holy moly.

Check out our takeaways from Northwestern’s key non-conference win over Dayton.

Binghamton hit some difficult shots in the beginning, while NU displayed a significant amount of careless and sloppy play. They took advantage of NU's errors, and deserve recognition for their efforts. Leaving with a victory in a game of this nature is crucial. The positive takeaway is that there are numerous areas to improve upon and it is feasible to do so. They played solid defense minus some lapses and sloppy play. There’s lot to clean up on during practice, time to shift focus towards the upcoming match against Dayton.

In my opinion, Barnhizer did quite well as a secondary ball handler. He possesses great ingenuity both offensively and defensively. When it comes to defense, he’s an absolute wrecking ball, wreaking havoc on his opponents and leaving opposing fans frustrated. He is positioning himself for a highly productive season and is undeniably the most versatile player on the team. Although his shooting may have been off, he compensated with numerous impactful defensive plays, rebounds, and still managed to show up in the scoring column. It’s a very good sign when a player shoots poorly to still affect the game in such a positive way.

I am impressed by Mullins' potential. He possesses a raw talent that is undeniable. His quickness and athleticism are remarkable. However, he needs to exercise better judgment and play within himself. Unfortunately, his early turnover led to him being benched. He needs to clean that up to get more minutes.

Preston demonstrates great touch when it comes to scoring near the basket. Although he may not consistently score in droves, he is highly efficient and a dependable finisher. These qualities make him an ideal backup center. Additionally, he showcased his defensive skills with some excellent plays. His agility is noteworthy. He’s a solid pick up for the backup position.

Langborg possesses a swift release and fearlessly takes shots. He has the potential to provide instant offense this season. He showed some good defensive instincts and makes valuable contributions on that end of the court. Not only that, he displays some impressive dribble drives to the basket throughout the game. Good to see him get back in after rolling his ankle.

Clayton shows promise in his defensive abilities. However, he presents a hesitancy on the offensive side of the game. While he managed to limit his turnovers, he displayed timidity in his plays. Overall, as a freshman, he had a very solid game. He played within his abilities and earned his minutes on the court.

Buie serves as the driving force behind the team's performance yet again. Nicholson, a formidable defender, showcased remarkable positioning on both offensive and defensive ends of the court. These individuals consistently deliver their level play, embodying the team's identity. In general, the defense appears to be a notable strength once more. It brings me great satisfaction to witness the players actively using their hands to disrupt passing lanes. However, NU must improve their defense in transition. Furthermore, it is crucial to establish better positing in rebounds and box out and minimize any errors early . Binghamton managed to stay in close contention by converting some challenging shots. It is imperative that Buie and Barnhizer receive more opportunities to make an impact early in the game. During the first half, the team displayed hesitancy and needed to focus on executing simple passes. Despite a rather sloppy game, NU emerged victorious. Let us put this performance behind us, learn from it during practice, and turn our attention to the upcoming game against Dayton on Friday. Go cats.

Recent grads, great guys and enjoyed talking to them throughout the game and got some good insights from them.

When the women’s lacrosse team they were super supportive of the ladies out there and cheered for them….. also made their feelings on Gragg very clear…..

So it turns out I will not be able to make it up to Evanston for any football games this fall, but I *will* be in town for the hoops game against Dayton! I'm excited because I used to go to every game when I was in town but I haven't been to WRA in years (also Smelly Jr. will be watching his first game there). So: will buying tickets day of game be a problem? I figure Dayton probably won't bring thousands, and it's a non-conference game, so likely no sell-out.

But on the other hand, coming off NCAA season! Hype through the roof! Do I want/need tickets beforehand? Does anyone have any they want to sell? Should I be worried about how hard these tickets are to come by?

So excited to yell at basketball refs for the first time in forever.

Northwestern (1-0) hosts Dayton (1-0) at Welsh-Ryan Arena tonight at 7:30 p.m.

The game will air on BTN and could be the highest profile non-conference game at the new Welsh-Ryan Arena.

Hey all - first post, but have been following this board for over 15 years!

This is what should have happened to Fitz.

They did a Northwestern legend dirty.

Schill and Gragg suck.

That's all.

Can we get some confirmation on these allegations??

Haven't seen anything other than a few positive comments on the script Northwestern helmets. I thought they were terrific in the white and the team overall looked sharp. The only negative is that the proportions were a bit small due to the length of the name but that can't be helped. I'd love to see these helmets in the rotation.

If you are a Northwestern fan and watching the game on TV, you are welcome to join us for a live Zoom discussion during the game. It is usually just a few of us "more mature' fans who show up for these chats, but I have found that having others to talk to during the game makes for a better experience.

I hope to see you on Zoom on Saturday @ 2:30 PM CT

Sorry if this has already been posted.

Because the NMSU basketball team's did. It kept the victims "humble":

Sources tell me that Bob Stoops is in the mix as new HC. Has a place in Chicago, Big Ten roots, might be getting itchy to get back in the college game.

Suddenly got the bug to drive to Madison for the game Saturday--as I have the feeling it will be a good one, for NU.

Those who know about buying sports tickets, at this point, what would be the best source for decent to good tickets for this game?

Xander Mueller tallied a career-high 19 tackles last week against Iowa. I talked to him and Bryce Gallagher about the LB corps this season.

Interesting interview moment circling the internet. When asked about the Michigan scandal, he pointed out that Fitz determined during a recent game that the play signals may have crossed over onto the Northwestern coaches’ headsets and there was a chance we could pick them up. Fitz instructed his coaching staff to change channels and stop using the headsets, in the spirit of fairness.

This is how many TDs we have scored in regulation of each Big 10 game this year.

Rutgers: 1 (garbage TD with 17 seconds left in game)
Minnesota: 4 (three in 4th Quarter)
Penn St: 1
Nebraska: 0
Maryland: 3
Iowa: 1 (TD with 1:55 left in game)

The fact that Braun has the team playing so hard and competing so well with essentially no offense in 2/3 of the games is really impressive. I’d love to see him get the opportunity to lead this program with a decent offense that can consistently score 20+. Right now the defense has to be almost perfect to keep us in most of these games.

I think our defense can do really well the last three games of the season so we’ll see if the offense can put any points on the board to get a win or two.

The Wildcats are set to face the Badgers for the 11th consecutive season, @lou v and I log our predictions.

I thought you might find this interesting. Coach B and Fitz are good friends.
