NU basketball no longer...

[The_Waterboy]

the laughingstock of the B1G. Nor are they the stumbling, bumbling buffoons of the ignomineous final 3-minute collapse. Nor are they the inexplicably reliable sad-sack solution to every B1G team who has struggled to get a conference "W" in their own down year. Chris Collin's 2017 'Cats will get their long-awaited NCAA Tourney bid.

This season's B-Ball 'Cats are downright good. They are a formidible hoops force in the B1G. They back down to nooooooooooooooooo-body. They deserve the attention of a legitimate conference contender - not a pretender. This is Chris Collin's Bonus Baby Team. He'lll get more ink on this "W" than any b-ball HC in NU history. And he and his team deserve every bit of it. And the baby is still not finished growing into it's own talent-laden body.

Like Mike Greenberg of Mike-&-Mike morning talk radio/TV show fame, I've been a prolific skeptic of what Chris Collins has been building over the prior 3 seasons and continues to do in 2017. 75 years of nada interest from every college basketball media guru and self-promoting pundit will do that. Well... NO MORE, BABY. I'm hitchin' a ride on the Purple B-Ball Bandwagon and I will hang it proud-&-loud on the front door of my condo.

Purple is the New Duke/Kentucky/No. Carolina Blue!!!

That was way too long-winded to read. Especially since I heard the first few sentences in your voice.

Smithee... Obviously you've never passed your obligatory speed reading class in H.S. My H.S. required every student to take a spped reading class and pass the damn thing or he didn't graduate (true requirement). It served me very well during my NU years and even more in my career (SAP - IT support).

This is 1995 for NU basketball.

This is 1995 for NU basketball.

Only if they win the Big 10.

Smithee... Obviously you've never passed your obligatory speed reading class in H.S. My H.S. required every student to taske a spped reading class and pass the damn thing or he didn't graduate (true requirement). It served me very well during my NU years and even more in my career (SAP - IT support).

When I read your post I did so in a very loud tone of voice to make it more realistic.

Naw. NU basketball will never be the same after this year.

I agree. But what made 1995 special wasn't that they got to a bowl game, it was that they won the damn league and went to the Rose Bowl. I'd like to see the 2016-17 MBB team win the league and get a top 4 seed in the NCAA. THAT would be special.
