    This is what I worried about

    Turnovers and free throws. Ugh.

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Nebraska

    In both cases, the home teams earned the wins with some cold blooded shots down the stretch while we missed shots and turned it over. We did some good things this game, but also had some weak spots exposed and exploited (e.g. Luke Hunger's defense). It's tough to win on the road in the Big Ten.

    Game Thread: Chicago State vs. No. 25 Northwestern

    Langborg is 13-for-19 beyond the arc over the past 4 games!

    Game Thread: Rhode Island vs. Northwestern

    Preston had 6 points, 5 assists, and 9 rebounds off the bench. (MN had 10 rebounds in 3 games combined coming into today.)

    Game thread for No. 7 Northwestern vs. No. 10 Boise State

    I agree. If we keep defending like this, they won't keep hitting difficult bail out shots. But tip your cap to them on a few difficult scores as the clock was winding down.

    So what would be a fitting comparison in FB to what we have done this year in BB?

    I'd say that this basketball season feels a bit like the 2000 football season. Not our first time being good, but a real surprise given the previous few seasons.

    Miller Kopp

    I didn't care for the chant. However, it is definitely satisfying that Kopp is 0-3 against the 'Cats!

    Game thread for No. 1 Purdue vs. NU

    Somehow, we're hanging around. Mostly due to Boo. But if we start hitting some shots, force a couple turnovers... We're not out of it yet.

    A take

    If it makes you feel any better, all teams miss bunnies, layups and dunks. And all their fans also pretend that they're the only team with this problem. Georgetown missed some easy ones at the basket, too.

    Good win. A couple of notes

    I'd add free throw shooting.

    Good win. A couple of notes

    Great to get a win! To me, it looks like a pretty solid 8-man rotation. What the announcers said is right, though: to have a great year, Boo and Audige would need to be All Big Ten level stars.

    Look! A Meaningless Chart!

    I conclude that we should have more wins than we do. We take care of the basketball in terms of turnovers, but give away too many possessions with bad shots. We also just don't convert makable shots like we should. We're close. We defend really well. And we have a bunch of guys who belong on the...

    That was fantastic

    I'm with Collins on this one. I think that Beran is a really good defender at his position. He moves his feet and stays in front of his man, tries to jump straight up. He draws charges, blocks shots and gets his hands on balls in the passing lanes. Admittedly, he is a tad foul-prone. Beran also...

    I'm ready to move on from CC

    Indeed. I just took a quick peek to confirm the reality: - IU has only made the NCAA Tournament 4 times in the past 13 seasons. - IU has only made the NCAA Tournament 7 times in the past 18 seasons. - IU has only made it past the Sweet 16 one time since 1992-93. For comparison, they made it...

    Brutal season for you guys so far

    I would absolutely make this contention in regard to game-ending situations. As games wound down, Carmody ran plays that he had confidence the team could execute--backdoor plays for layups, well-practiced out-of-bounds plays, or plays to get open shots for our best shooters where he/they had the...

    Seriously??

    I was in the Game Thread last night and abandoned ship when it became clear we were going to lose. I felt the same way everyone else here. Having given it a day, I still think we might be a pretty good team this year. We're going to be entertaining and win some games--and lose some games in...

    Game thread for Penn State at Northwestern

    Shot selection was a topic after the last game. I was pretty pleased with the shot selection in the first half. Buie threw up a bomb that he fortunately nailed and the freshman #13 forced a shot in the lane...but, other than that, I didn't mind too many of our shots. Gotta make the easy ones...

    OT: Michigan - Gonzaga

    I think the announcer said that Michigan missed its last 8 shots. And they lost by 2. They had good looks from three and shots right at the rim. I'm sure they're kicking themselves.

    Buie has got to be tougher at the end

    The coaching staff was running set plays and out of bounds plays to get Kopp open looks. Kopp wasn't forcing bad shots. I think it's appropriate for people to be more critical of a player making bad decisions than one missing good shots. Aside from that, I agree that neither Kopp nor Buie is a...
