Weekend Results are In

[SotaHawk87]

Assuming a Rutgers win teams projected to be in went 26-19 this weekend. 7 of those teams lost to opponents that are not projected in the current field. First four out went 3-1 but it’s looking to be a solid (not strong) bubble meaning the resumes are so piss poor past the first 4-5 out that a good chunk of February could just be for seeding for most teams.

This is always a big week teams start to become locks for the tournament while the bottom half of leagues fall out of contention for at large berths.

Assuming a Rutgers win

... Oh, really?

 

[SotaHawk87]

... Oh, really?

Hey I’m ALLLLLLL in on a massive choke job! NW has been atrocious through in the second half this year..

 

[ichawks]

Intriguing game so far. Cats not letting up.

 

[BaldHawk4Life]

Yeah... ouch. I took Rutgers -10.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

GO CATS!!!

 

[anon_i8nzeu2gbf0ba]

NW with a 15-point lead early in the second half. WOW. It's the Big Ten...

 

[ichawks]

It’s happening.

 

[luvmyhawks]

Northwestern just drilling the 3’s. This would be a shocking upset.

Please happen

Northwestern collapse seems imminent.

 

[ichawks]

Air mailing that 3 didn’t help.

 

[ichawks]

Thought flops were being called this year.

 

[StormHawk42]

Northwestern is starting to get weak in the knees.

 

[mazda1]

Too many bad memories for NW and no one who’s ever done it for them. Tight, tight, tight.

You could just sense it when it was ten.

 

[SotaHawk87]

Lol NW

 

[ichawks]

The collapse as foretold is almost complete.

 

[luvmyhawks]

Quickly seeing why northwestern is the bottom feeder

 

[Hawktagonapus]

NW imploding

 

[mazda1]

Collins is awful

 

[luvmyhawks]

**** off northwestern

 

[Hawksfor3]

Mildcats rushing shots.

 

[markfromj]

Mildcats rushing shots.

Wanted 2 possessions for 1.

 

[SotaHawk87]

Why the hell don’t teams just run offensive sets at the end of games..

 

[StormHawk42]

That possession looked like something we would run. Ain’t no way NW can hold on in OT.

 

[ichawks]

Hopefully that’s not what the NW coaching staff drew up for a last shot.

 

[kwik44]

Would like to see NW pull it out, but doubtful now.

 

[ichawks]

Why am I still watching this and not some Bonanza reruns? I know what the outcome will be.

 

[pocha444444]

Nice non two for one there Rutgers. Even had the TO to set it up. College coaches are so dumb.

 

[hawkeyeinmo]

Collins is awful

You beat me to it. It’s hard for young/inexperienced players to not choke when you have a coach with a deer in the headlights look. Nice play drawn up on that last possession Chris.

 

[StormHawk42]

Baker is so clutch

 

[doughuddl2]

And that's why NW is garbage

 

[mazda1]

Northwestern is supposed to have smart players. But several stupid decisions. Put the ball in the hands of the freshman and let the kid who has proven he can’t do it make mistake after mistake.

If you’re the NW AD you better be collecting resumes as these kids can’t believe in Collins at this point. He’s as bad as his players.

 

[BBHawk]

That possession looked like something we would run. Ain’t no way NW can hold on in OT.

? Why the dig at Iowa? They have actually been damn good in tight games this year.

 

[StormHawk42]

? Why the dig at Iowa? They have actually been damn good in tight games this year.

True. But our sets at end of half/game are still pretty lousy.

 

[MrsScrew]

Please happen

Sorry/not sorry we disappointed you.
The RAC was rocking in the 2nd half and Baker was on fire. We needed this win.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

True. But our sets at end of half/game are still pretty lousy.

Wait, what?????

 

[Hendy hawk]

This game reminded me of Iowa a few years back.

 

[BBHawk]

True. But our sets at end of half/game are still pretty lousy.

Again, not this year. Have you watched any Iowa games this year? They have been scoring almost at will against teams from sets. Remember the in-bounds plays against IL? They couldn't stop Iowa.

Yes, past teams have had troubles getting shots off later in the shot clock but this team is more disciplined and willing to drive to the bucket. I don't see that changing over the next 3 years.

Again, I said end of half/game. See end of the half vs Nebraska. I know our in bounds sets are good.
