Yeah, I know, a lol Southland KenPom #270 paycheck opponent, but Chicago State is far worse and we struggled with them. Plus, they match up OK against us; their leading scorer is a 6-7 215 pound forward who Sanjay will likely shut down as usual, but that leaves a 6-11 center with a pulse (10 ppg) for Benson/Skelly to deal with, and they simply haven't seen that many competent big men since the Pardon injury. Add to 3 games in 6 days for a shallow team, and would not be shocked if this were a close one....

If don't race out to a 20+ lead in the first half should we panic?

I don't anything about Houston Baptist's basketball team, but I wish the game were being played here and not in Evanston. Would be fun to watch NU play live.

Are we going to do this before every game?
