Northwestern (3-0) plays IPFW (2-1) tonight at Welsh-Ryan Arena at 7 p.m. The Wildcats are looking to build off their win at Georgetown in the Gavitt Games, and continue their undefeated start to the season.
I haven’t seen him look to create his shot in the post yet this season. You only get so many opportunities down low if they’re created for you or done by off ball movement.And-1 by Nicholson.... SEE
That's sort of my point. I think that might have been his first touch in the paint. He's established himself in the post a couple times so far this game but hasn't gotten touches.I haven’t seen him look to create his shot in the post yet this season.

I have to laugh at myself for the proceeding shot hahaThat's sort of my point. I think that might have been his first touch in the paint. He's established himself in the post a couple times so far this game but hasn't gotten touches.
I feel like if he has the post up game in is move set we’d have seen it against these teams he has a major height advantage against. If he does then they need to start feeding him especially in the scoring droughtsThat's sort of my point. I think that might have been his first touch in the paint.

You definitely could be right, but we just don't know. Why not find out against these low-major teams. He has to be a factor for them to overachieve this season.I feel like if he has the post up game in is move set we’d have seen it against these teams he has a major height advantage against.
Those are the looks he’ll keep getting. Penetration from a guard. Drop off to the Big Man. Just have to convertI have to laugh at myself for the proceeding shot haha
Could have found out in practice. I’d like to see them try though.You definitely could be right, but we just don't know. Why not find out against these low-major teams. He has to be a factor for them to overachieve this season.
We won 60-52 and Buie scored 28 of our points with 3 assists? Meaning he contributed half of our offense? With 4 rebounds, 2 steals, and only 2 turnovers?Buie willing the team to victory.
This is no time for weakness @Deeringfish . Ignore is not your friend.I can't watch the game did we win?
It was incredibly frustrating. You have a mismatch based off height. Add to that, Nicholson has been so efficient in the young season. Go to him. It's better than chucking around the perimeter. It just seems like that's not in Collins' philosophy...that was straight out of the Amazon best-seller "How not to run your offense in college basketball"
It simply does not bode well.
Cannot believe Nicholson got two touches in 21 minutes.
He did spend most of his time setting screens and handling the ball 23 feet from the hoop, so that probably had something to do with it. Either really bad coaching or just players who refuse to attempt the obvious.
Here's a thought... Nicholson parks on left side of basket. Guard drives right side of lane. Guard throws ball off backboard so that it bounces to other side of rim. Nicholson grabs ball and dunks. I'd estimate 80% success rate.
Maybe higher.
I hear you, but that's not a recipe for success against better and bigger teams, so I suspect they were trying to run offense they project to be effective against higher quality teams playing small. Hopefully the problem today was that offense needs to face higher quality small lineups to be successful. :>)that was straight out of the Amazon best-seller "How not to run your offense in college basketball"
