    Our guy is in the portal: Malik Mack, Harvard

    If he’s a graduate student, I don’t think it matters. (Certainly, it shouldn’t. Many, many grad programs are just cash grabs. “Yes, have your certificate.”) Perhaps he could take police motorcycle training. https://sps.northwestern.edu/center-for-public-safety/policemotorcycle/

    Our guy is in the portal: Malik Mack, Harvard

    17, 4, and 5 as a freshman. 34% from 3. As a freshman. https://www.gq.com/story/the-unlikely-rise-of-the-ivy-league-hooper In his neatly symmetrical braids, the shifty lefty uses hesis, crossovers and footwork to break down defenders as a member of the Harvard Crimson. Mack, a six-foot-one...

    Final observations from 11 rows back

    More minutes for Martinelli and Langborg cushioned Berry’s loss. Smith was there to cushion Berry’s loss. Nicholson is simply a unique player, literally irreplaceable on this team. I haven’t looked at the numbers, but did Preston and Hunger combine for the four assists that Nicholson had in...

    Roster in review and the future

    Always excellent hoops analysis. Your Martinelli comments are spot-on. I did not believe he could step into that four position, but he’s legit.

    That team had so much talent, but their intensity on defense was greater than anything I saw this year. Credit to Hurley for rebuilding a culture there.

    Thanks to Boo and to everyone

    What a fun season. What a fun, fun, fun season. Thanks to Langborg and Preston for seeing their futures in purple. Thanks to Brooks and Nicky for expanding their games. Thanks to Hunger and Big Matt for bringing toughness every night. Thanks to Berry for clearly shooting 500 threes a day...

    March Madness Game Thread: Northwestern vs. UConn

    At least Boo won’t end with the worst worst worst shooting night of his career. (He’s now 2-13. His worst is 1-9, three times, it appears.) Go Cats Go

    “They play with dignity.” I love it. Raftery is da man.

    March Madness Game Thread: Northwestern vs. UConn

    Clingan is three blocks from a triple-double, though maybe he took that one off the backboard??

    March Madness Game Thread: Northwestern vs. UConn

    NU basically plays seven guys, and played OT 54 hours ago, and they look like it. Jumpers are flat.

    March Madness Game Thread: Northwestern vs. UConn

    We’ve kept UConn off the offensive glass. 9 missed field goals, zero credited offensive boards. Three offensive boards for the Cats (on 17 misses).

    Connecticut’s defensive pressure is on another level. Wow.

    March Madness Game Thread: Northwestern vs. UConn

    Clingan has two blocks and at least two more altered. Rough. Spencer is already credited with four assists. This team will abuse Purdue if it comes to that. Cats will have to light it up from outside.

    Big Ten O/U

    Illinois has come out this weekend looking ready to win three before they run into the purple buzzsaw. So, NU’s six and Illinois’ three takes care of it, and Purdue’s bonus one and MSU’s inevitable one-and-done give breathing room. Piss off, Wisky and Nebraska.

    Yale

    To be fair, Gragg did something that Phillips and Murphy and Taylor and whomever preceded them didn’t. It’d been a miss for four decades.

    Connecticut Looks Awesome...but they aren't being tested

    I’m assuming most Dukies won’t stay for game two after they lose. 😂. But I welcome their support as well.

    Connecticut Looks Awesome...but they aren't being tested

    UConn’s losses were Kansas, Seton Hall (December), and Creighton (February). Creighton won by going bombs away (14-28 from 3), and by taking care of the ball (7 turnovers). But UConn only turned it over 9 times, and also collected 15 offensive boards. The Creighton game was never close, and...
