Joke, I hope, but impressive start.
A blowout of MSU in their first B1G game and then wins tonight @ IU.

Semi-OT: NW the team to beat??!

Freakin Nerds. They should join the Ivy League. Then they could be a conference powerhouse instead of a perennial B1G pest in both fb and basketball.
I love the overblown hyperbole.
Two games in, in a weird (IE, vacant & quiet venues) season. Maybe pump the brakes a bit on this "NW's FOR REAL!!!!" stuff, NW & BTN social media accounts.
They lost to the only team worth a slight damn that they played in OOC, at home [Pitt, only P5 opponent].
I miss the good ole days when playing the kitties was a guaranteed win in both football and basketball.
They are going to be a tough out for sure. MSU, Iowa, Rutgers, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Northwestern, OSU are going to be real tough. Maryland, Minnesota, Purdue, Nebraska, Indiana and PSU are a notch lower but not much. Anybody will be able to beat anybody on any given night. Whoever wins the conference this year will have earned it every single night.
Transfer from William & Mary. 17 pts all in the 2nd half. NW borrowed some luck from their FB team with some of those buzzer-beating 3's in the last 10 min, as well as Indiana dude dribbling ball off his foot in crucial moment.
Ugly game, though. Both teams with more turnovers than assists. I expect both will finish in 2nd division of a tough B1G.
If the B1G stays tough, maybe the conference gets 13 bids to the dance.

In the B10 this year, even more then most years, any team can beat any other team on a given day....Northwestern, Nebraska, Minnesota...it doesn’t matter....better bring it every game.
I agree with this for the most part. But Nebraska is clearly #14. Although they won't go down easy most of the time, they'll finish something like 3-17 in conference.
