Another national mention

[CappyNU]

Seth Davis gives a shout-out in the "Underrated" section of his article today:

5. Northwestern. Your eyes do not deceive you. The Wildcats, led by their veteran backcourt of Boo Buie and Chase Audige, are tied for second place in the Big Ten and are tracking towards their second-ever NCAA Tournament appearance.​

and a second mention further down in the "Theft Artist" section:

4. Chase Audige, 6-4 senior guard, Northwestern. Now in his third season in Evanston after transferring from William and Mary, Audige is performing well at both ends of the court. He’s eighth nationally in steals per game (2.6) and 20th in steals percentage (4.7).​

Obviously happy NU is being talked about.

But I can't stand how all these guys seem to just dream at night they have any reason to hype Indiana. There's something pathological about it.

Jackson Davis is a great player, but I would love to see, in a multi verse experience, what would happen if Jalen Pickett played in Bloomington. By now he'd be the second coming of Jason Kidd.

Pickett is getting press on BTN. They are talking about him pushing Edey for player of the year in the conference.

Pickett absolutely killed us with some circus shots when they rallied from 8-or-9 back in the final five minutes to beat us last January. I thought that was a crushing loss for last year's team which others have pointed out lost a ton of close ones after that. I was afraid Rutgers this year might be the same but the grit this team showed beating Wisconsin in a back-and-forth game (17 lead changes) seemed to turn the tide. Hope the Cats can keep it going against a really tough 11-game finishing stretch run.
