    Season Recap

    The two biggest questions for me are: 1.) What is the recovery time for Ty and Matt? If they spend the offseason getting healthy and back to game shape, that doesn’t bode as well as spending it working on their game and getting better. 2.) Who is NU bringing in with the two open slot? You...

    Season Recap

    Final Thoughts We just finished watching, when healthy, the best NU team ever. This squad possessed a remarkable skill set, capable of holding their own and beating any opponent in the nation. They were led by one of the best players in the country in Boo Buie. The team was also distinguished...

    Season Recap

    Ty Berry GP 23, MPG 29.7, RPG 3.9, APG 1.4, SPG 1.3 PPG 11.6 Ty will thrive in the 2-3 position this year. He possesses an impressively smooth jump shot that catches the eye. However, during the previous season, his shot did not always find the mark. Additionally, he lacked the ability to beat...

    Season Recap

    2+ Years in Purple Blake Smith GP 11, MPG 14, RPG .7, PPG 2.4 I did not anticipate conducting a player assessment for Blake, as I never imagined a walk-on player would receive significant minutes during the season. Blake's impact on the team was truly unexpected and he stepped up filling in...

    Season Recap

    Justin Mullins GP 19, MPG 5.2 Standing at a height of 6'4", Mullins seems like a perfect fit for the 2-4 position on the cat's team. Last year, as a freshman, Justin started in 27 games, showcasing his defensive skills and impressive scoring ability in transition. He possesses a great deal of...

    Season Recap

    Following an exhilarating season with a team that showcased the most potential I have ever witnessed in an NU basketball team, I thought it would be interesting to compare the events of this year with my initial player analysis at the beginning of the season. 1st Year in Purple Blake Barkley...

    I wouldn't with the way he did it.

    The departed

    It’s disappointing because you can see the ceiling just watching his game. It doesn’t even feel like a skill or work ethic gap. Like he has flashed the ability to put the ball on the floor and he has a nice jump shot. He’s shown good-great defense at times. It’s just never fit together for him...

    Buie is so good. I’m going to miss watching him play.

    It’s time to move on from Collins

    I posted this on the rock in response to a post about Collins on January 2022. Half credit? “Oh that’s not my best argument. I still believe Collins is a good choice and can turn it around. Contrary to board believe Collins and staff do actually develop players pretty well. NU basketball does...

    Collins will be getting lots of calls

    Martinelli and Hunger also don’t really fit the “defense first” mentality. Both have higher upside on offensive end. Collins has been recruiting the best players he can and still is. This is what pretty much every coach does. Collins will continue to recruit the players he thinks are the best...

    The departed

    Most Beran-ish way would have been 1 three within the first 2 minutes. Then disappear for the rest of the game offensively after 1-2 misses. Defensively play really well on most possessions than have a mental error and completely lose his man on about 3 possessions.

    Getting off the 8/9 line

    Sounds good on paper until you realize how poor our help D is without big Matt opening things for slashing guards. Slashing guards really open things up for the whole offense look at Buie for an example. I’d almost rather just have a big guy eat and slow him down with post doubles and force some...

    Collins will be getting lots of calls

    Edey is the extreme of the examples agreed. Buie 100% gets away with his left hand pushing off and falling on drives. Superstars get the calls always have always will.

    Collins will be getting lots of calls

    What about losing MN and Ty Berry for the season? Langborg is playing hurt and was lost for a few games. A walk on is getting significant minutes. Injuries happen. I stated that Carmody brought up the floor of the NU program and he did. Carmody deserves credit for what he did. I did not revise...
