Ok I'd say officially the toughest player in NU men's bball history. Dude is nails.

Disappointed that we didn't have more fans, but those who were there made themselves heard.

This is a team. There was a Bartinelli play that ended w a stoppage. Waited to see the two high five - nope. They made it to the bench and ended up naturally together and kinda was a nod. These two are brothers.

I just hope little brother Mart is encouraged by BB to stay another year. This is the BB year like last year was the Boo year. Next year, it’s team Mart - he will be the undeniable BMOC. Having been on the Mart train from the beginning and loving his ugly, old white man game - I really hope he stays.

I once said Young reminded me of Tim Doyle (our own Fred Flintstone). I think Mart is what would happen if Doyle became suddenly athletic. Coordination plus old school moves. How can you not root for this kid?

I get it, running a short bench can be tough on the guys, especially as we move deeper into the B1G season. If they stick with a 7-man rotation, we might start to feel the wear and tear. But honestly, playing big minutes with a week of rest before and after games isn't the end of the world. The key is making sure they’re managing practice time, letting those starters rest up a bit, and then really push the freshmen and the depth guys this week. Get them to a point where they can step up and give the starting cast a breather when the B1G grind hits. It’s about building that trust and skill so they’re ready when it matters most.
