McIntosh just went down holding his knee for Northwestern against Brown. Not sure the severity, but the way he was holding it and rolling around in pain it didn't look good.

 

Also Brown is currently beating NW by 3 early in the 2nd half on FS1.

Our opponent Tuesday is currently having their Christmas hangover game. 

 

Brown 49

NW 46

Collins said he knew little about McIntosh’s knee injury. The Wildcats plan to replace him by committee.

“You just pray for a guy like that who’s a senior that it’s not something that’s going to cost him an extended amount of time, especially when you’re in your last year,” Collins said.

Typically when coaches say after the game they don't know much, that's a bad sign for the severity of the injury. I would imagine he doesn't play Tuesday. 

 

Regardless, this is a huge game for NU. That arena was almost empty today, and I can't imagine it'll be much better attended Tuesday. Need to steal some road games, and this is a golden opportunity to get one.

Wow.

[uneblinstu]

Some observations:

- Iowa lacks something. Peter Jok. That's that they're lacking.

- Neither Indiana or Wisconsin seem all that scary.

- Michigan can still really shoot it.

- Tom Crean is pretty good at this analyst gig.

- Penn St. has some playmakers.

- Maryland still has some players, too, but they look like they're trying to figure things out missing their two guys that got hurt.

[hskr4life]

Wisconsin, Maryland, and Michigan taking early game W’s. 

 

Indiana, Iowa, and Penn State take early game L’s.

That 73-72 score in Lincoln will haunt me. Ughh.

[hskr4life]

Watching the two B1G game start tonight.

 

Rutgers looked terrible against Purdue.  Although Purdue looked pretty good, it’s hard to tell because it was against a struggling Rutgers.

 

Illinois has so far looked pretty rough against Minny.  Minny is up 15 already late in the first half.  

 

We should beat 3/4 of those teams at home and 2-3/4 on the road.  I don’t know who we play at home or away, but we should be able to beat Illinois and Rutgers no matter where we play em.

[uneblinstu]

Illinois fought back and made a game of it vs. Minnesota. Couldn't pull off the comeback, but the Illini are a pesky bunch and have some talent. They're gonna be a handful. They're super young, so they may hit a wall at some point, but they're gonna be really good over the next couple of years, I think, just probably not this one.

[hskr4life]

OT Post.... I’m glad we aren’t in the B12 this year.  That’s a tough deep league.  Watching OU tonight score at will and Trey You g is tough.

 

Back to Minny game, I was surprised to see Illinois come back, but they just started to play harder than Minnesota.  That’s how we beat them.  I don’t think Illinois is word beaters, but they’ll play hard and that’s worth something.  Minny is going to struggle I think, especially if they don’t start to play harder.

Illinois turns you over, gets to the FT line, and grabs O-Rebounds. We're good on 2 out of those 3. Like our chances in both games.

 

That's the only road game in our last 5 games

Rutgers

Maryland

@ Illinois

Indiana

Penn St

 

Really like our chances to finish strong here

No question about it. They're talented, though, that's all I'm saying. They're gonna grab some games that will spoil things for a team or two.

They overcame a 22 point deficit vs Maryland at home to put that game into OT.  Underwood actually had them come back out and run their pre-game warmups at half time. They're definitely feisty and their fast play gives them the ability to put up points in a hurry.

[uneblinstu]

Iowa's off to an 0-4 start in conference play. And they haven't exactly faced a murderer's row.

[WestOHusker]

Not a great year for teams coached by guys named Pitino and the law
