I can’t say I’m worried about Northeastern

[Hungry Jack]

But I am somewhat intrigued. They are a small team, with their top 5 guys in terms of minutes ( and points) all listed as guards. But they are bigger guards, all listed at 6’5 or 6’6”. And their top 2 collectively put up 32 ppg and pull in 15.4 rbpg. 4 of these guys shoot the 3 well enough, hitting 37% to 41%.

I will be interested to see how Collins handles the 5 spot in this game. Matt played his usual minutes vs DePaul, even when Skogman was out there, so I am guessing we won’t see much different.

Might be an opportunity for Gelo to get some minutes!

conversely their tallest guys are only 6’8”. Maybe Matt can have multiple nicholbombs again. Little hungry appreciates those. Their coach looks very senior.

Might provide some insight whether Gelo is nursing a shoulder injury

6'6" is tall enough to make those outlet passes to the open three. I'm not worried and I also wouldn't discount them if they get hot from three. This should be a good test of whether the Cats play down to the level of their competition or not.

One of these teams is Northeastern and one is Northwestern

Points Per Game: 72.0 | Rebounds Per Game: 36.2 | Assists Per Game: 14.0 | Points Allowed: 67.4
Points Per Game: 73.8 | Rebounds Per Game: 36.3 | Assists Per Game: 14.7 | Points Allowed: 64.2

Big Matt be like

If we have to get robbed by Peacock, I'm glad they chose this game.

We lost to Hartford (same league as Northeastern) in one of our down years about 5-6 years ago. I never assume it’s a gimme for NU.

My wife picked up a second degree from UHart as it's the local school around here. Even though she doesn't really care about sports, we all watched that game together as a family and it was, needless to say, quite humiliating. She has bragging rights in perpetuity (of course, who are we kidding... she had them anyway).

We better beat the hell out of them. They are 155 in KenPom and 169 in Torvik. But, yes, we are still Northwestern and no game is ever truly a “gimme.”

 

[PurpleWhiteBoy]

Lets go with
Northwestern 73
Northeastern 55

Don't sleep on Northeastern!

Somebody had to say it before you all jinx us.

 

[Hungry Jack]

We lost to Merrimack and Redford in the same season.
