Source on X/Twitter (FWIW) says Brooks is in a boot, doubtful for tonight, may be a season-ending injury. Oh boy.
Brooks out?

I saw Brooks Barnhizer this morning walking to class. He did not have a boot on. Quit sourcing things from South Bend lmao

Brooks Barnhizer was walking with a boot. Seems doubtful for tonight
He looks fine here. Gotta love that the official X account fires this out there.
Which leads me to wonder, was this planted by the staff to suss out the leaker?
This created quite a Twitter stir for like an hour. This came from a self-described NU hoops insider who obviously isn't very far inside.
BUT, if his goal was to make the betting line shift he succeeded. The line went from Maryland -1.5 to at least Maryland -3.5 after this "news" came out. An hour ago ESPN had Maryland -2.5 and just now I see it's returned to -1.5. So if he wanted to move the line 2 points and put in a bet on NU then it worked.

Looks like the guru doesn’t even know the difference between Luke and Brooks, probably confused the two.
Given what the margin is at halftime, this could end up making/costing a lot of folks money. What a world!
