My story from Brooklyn.

Buie deserved a better sendoff than disappointing NCAA loss to UConn

Boo Buie scored just nine points as Northwestern was outclassed in a 75-58 loss to No. 1 UConn.

Nice summary . Some other posts have nitpicked about various aspects of the game which seems pointless. If we had been full strength the game would have been much closer (Or if UConn lost 2 starters they would not have been as formidable)

Let’s savor the season and look forward to next year

He had that sendoff, but it was Friday. Special overtime period, we'll always remember.

As William Muny says to Little Bill, “Deserves got nuttin to do with it”.

UConn is a great team that might pull off back-to-back championships and is loaded with talent, a very worthy #1 overall team.

Boo had a tough night, but he's left so many incredible memories here that last night is just a footnote to the ending of his Northwestern career.

2 NCAA bids and 2 NCAA wins along with plenty of wins over ranked teams (including two against #1 Purdue), and all the rest of the winning in the conference, and most importantly (in my mind) the building of a true NU home court with an amazing raucous home crowd.

Terrific, fun article Lou!
