Nah, it'll take a complete collapse from jNW's defense. If jNW gets to 65 they'll be fine.
Other games.

- Start date
Even if NW does hold on, I'm ok with it taking a few OTs to finally decide it.
#11 Marquette, with the help of 15 offensive rebounds, beats #16 Xavier by one, 69-68.
Nunge had 10 pts

When IU stopped trying to post TJD and started going iso and screen and roll it changed the game.
NW choked real hard, but ultimately held on.
Up 21 early in 2nd half, and needed a huge play by Buie to make the winning shot.

If Iowa takes care of business tomorrow, Sunday's game will be for 2nd place in the Big Ten.
Not often do you see a team surrender a 21 point lead and still win scoring only 64 points.
Man Northwestern is no joke. It's amazing they're so good with the players they lost after last season.
Finding a way to stop the collapse and not crack on the pressure of that situation, is almost more impressive. That doesn’t happen often. Sometimes the other team will choke after nearing a come back. Maybe it happened here a little with the missed alley oop
Boise State comes up as a matchup in March. They just won on the road at Colorado State. No call on the final play of the game.
2 of the players they lost went to Duke and North Carolina, and those 2 teams suck this year compared to their history.
Coincidence?
How'd you like to be Pete Nance if UNC misses the tournament?
I would enjoy it.
It took IU coaches almost 3/4 of the game to figure out giving the ball to Jackson-Davis nearer the FF line to allow him to work before the double team arrived. IU will be a dangerous team post season, because Thompson will be fully back and X Johnson might also be back. Not impressed with Woodson as a game coach.
Intrigued to see Purdue only -1 at Maryland. Seems like a bit of a sucker bet on Purdue. If they happen to lose tonight, the Big Ten race starts to get interesting.
Hope Fran takes some ideas away from this.
Attacking nws post double seems like a bad strategy, especially in their gym where they will get away with more.
Maybe get Rebraca the ball at the ff line facing the basket instead of low block, similar to the isu game.
Seems like IU finds a way to choke in the NCAA tournament.
Not like Iowa can talk....
Big game tonight before ours:
Purdue (23-3, 12-3) at projected 7/8 seed Maryland (17-8, 8-6), 5:30 pm CT, BTN
Purdue (23-3, 12-3) at projected 7/8 seed Maryland (17-8, 8-6), 5:30 pm CT, BTN
Sure it does, if you lose tonight. Most consider a 1 game lead with a few weeks to go interesting. NW could very well win out (and they hold the tiebreaker). Indiana could win out. But if you win tonight, it's locked up. Big game for the Big Ten and Purdue's confidence.
Exactly, have to feed it in to the high post ... not on the block. Much tougher to double up there and easier to pass out to a shooter for 3 when they do double team. Need Kris, Payton and others hitting 3s though.
Big ten basketball shares, so Purdue is 2 wins and an nu loss from sharing. Tie breaker seeds BTT. I encourage you to look at schedules. Nu likely loses two more. Iu should lose 1 more. So even if Purdue loses two, I still think they win out right.
Mary Land has been great at home and lousy on the road, like many B1G teams. Another loss could bring PU back toward the pack, which I didn't expect a few games ago.
Didn't see the complete game, but officiating didn't seem awful in the 60-min replay. What exactly happened when Collins grabbed a player, and at what point in the game?
I was wondering about Collins grabbing a player too. Anyone? And who would have imagined that we would be in the situation we are in right now after that 0-3 start?
Seriously, win tonight and the team is 9-3 in Big Ten play since 1/1.
I remember saying maybe we go on a 4 games win streak back then and getting laughed at. Rightfully so at the time. I don't make game predictions cause I'm a jinx.
Purdue had a shot clock violation with 22 seconds on the shot clock that gave nu the ball. Gillis had a tentional on a hard foul where he touched the ball. Play that gave them the lead, illegal screen and audige went out of bounds and was first one to touch the ball. On a free throw, two guys reached across edey and hooked arms. Those where the glaring obvious ones imo. That shouldn't be missed.
Collins grabbing Loyer came on the last play for Purdue. Game was over score wise, but still unacceptable.
Completely unacceptable in my opinion. A coach has no business touching another player from an opposing team. He should be suspended.
Maryland/Purdue is close at half. Maryland down at home despite whistles going entirely their way and Purdue going 0-fer from 3.

If Juwan Howard. had grabbed Zach Wahl I wonder what happens.
I agree. BIG likes Collins and the NW story.
