Let’s look at the big picture

[Baz=Heisman]

Cats fans… please listen to me. We’re not cooked. This panic has to stop. I saw it more on X but a little on the board, too.

I can’t imagine Barnheizer and Langborg do nothing next week. That’s rarely happened this season. We still have a “big 3” most teams would kill for.

Let’s rest the legs and get ready for the only tourney that really matters… next Thursday or Friday.

 

[Hungry Jack]

A week off should help immensely. We are just so short-handed without Matt and Ty.

This season could have been amazing. A healthy team definitely has Sweet 16 potential. At this point, I'd be thrilled with advancing to round 2.

Yes rest, but they had a week off. Not tired but just shorthanded and with Barney and Borg ice cold (and Mart), they had no chance. Good D by Wisconsin, but if those 3 had each made one shot that they normally make, it's an even game

The good thing is that we will be playing a non-conference team that's not familiar with us.

I am thrilled with the season if we lose by 30 in the first round. It’s been incredible and very unexpected.

 

[EagerFan]

I assume whatever team we face will spend their time practicing attacking the paint and memorizing which players they can ignore at the three on their rotations. It's gonna be a tough game for us.

Hopefully, Preston's shoulder, Boo's hand, Boo's knee, Langborg's ankle, and our general shooting will have recovered by then.

That would hurt our net ranking

Langborg is a nice piece but part of a big 3 is a stretch. We have a big 2 like we did last year. Only last year we had a Nichol-hulk too.

Langborg is clearly more effective with Berry on the floor. That said, he's also very capable of going for 15 every night. The fouls early impacted him. He never got into the flow. That said, Martinelli and Brooks both had poor games but that was in part due to Wisconsin's size. Also, don't discount that they have very good players and they played like it today and NU had no answers to the center hitting 3 threes and Stor going off for 30.

Langborg is a very good player. You can see all the little stuff he does live at the game. He plays well, NU wins.

I just hope the NCAA tourney continues to be the time/place where his game really shines.

Agreed, he is definitely an x-factor for us, when he starts popping 3's and driving to the hoop on overplays, everything else just opens up.

Agree, but he has to stop with the stupid fouls, especially without Berry.

Watch this video and you might get a little more excited about what Langborg could do next week:

You obviously have not watched him play this year. Langborg is a baller.
