Need the students ROWDY tonight versus Rutgers

[Baz=Heisman]

Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper are studs and will certainly both be top 10 picks in the NBA Draft… but they are still freshman. Let’s gets in their heads with a lively student section and fans that don’t sit on their hands most of the game. Blitz ‘em from the jump please 🙏.

Is Harper for sure playing? They had a gunner nailing threes last game too. Need strong defensive effort.

There was a scrum/melee in the stands last night in Saint Louis as the Billikens won a "hard-fought" A10 game over VCU.

SLU and VCU fans are both looking to punch their way into the NCAA tournament.

Northwestern's fat old bald dudes need to step up and stop blaming the students.

I see what you did there. Solid dad work.

We are favored by 7.5 pts tonight. That's a lot.

That guy on top looks like Uber.

Being a St. Louis native (my father was employed by SLU Hospital for decades), I watched the game and was not terribly surprised by those baboons in the stands.

Harper either being out or very limited may have something to do with that. RU is 3-1 in the BIG with him at full go and 0-5 without him or with him playing limited minutes due to the flu or the ankle injury. Still hoping for an upset but it will be tough for us. BTW, the "gunner" that Davidgolds5 above was worried about is actually about a 28% 3pt shooter on the year and just exploded the last game. Even though your post guy is typically not a scorer I anticipate NU feeding the post early because we lost one of our only two post men for the season and the other is a freshman who does not get much deference from the refs yet and fouling is an issue.

Just saw, Harper is out.

Just saw it too -- UGH! But we may be due for an upset without him since we are 0-5 when his sits but showed something against MSU, mostly on defense.

 

[Baz=Heisman]

Yeah, Harper is out. Damn shame. Was looking forward to watching him play and I never like to see anyone get hurt - opponents or not. ‘Cats got a big break and need to take advantage. No excuses. Get the win.

Line is now 9.5, seems high. Just get a W

Welcome to the NU message board!

Northwestern runs no plays for our centers. If we go inside to our big even once, I'll be very surprised.

Keep an eye out for Luke Hunger, he likes to jack a couple quick threes and then get pulled. That’s our offensive center game.

 

[Hungry Jack]

HARPER OUT with bum ankle.

Of course, I thought we had Illinois cornered with their sick bay full of guys, and they curb-stomped us.

Was it a veterinary hospital?
