Not many students here just before game time. Reasonable crowd otherwise. Lots of blue around me.

Keep this going for 40 minutes and NU moves up in some of those ranking lists like Torvik's.

What a start. Sharp on defense sharp on offense. Passing shooting really aggressive on D.
20- 0 run. Now that's a fast start. Really stoked about our shooting.

Man oh man, want to balance getting some time for the younger guys with keeping the foot on the gas here. A real opportunity to juice the metrics.

What a start. DePaul looks bad but we’re also lethal so far, on both ends.

Back down to earth a little with the subs but still playing well.

Windham with some early action. Mullins with a confident three. Everyone looks great except maybe Luke. He’ll find it.

It’s amazing how much easier the game is when you make most of your shots.

Always here for these controversial takes

Not to pile on but if we don’t get a transfer center next year who can start, we’re going to be in trouble

Have to tighten it up. Turnovers and watch that 3pt. line for DePaul.
Up by 10 at the half. Let's start the 2nd half strong and be stronger with the ball.

This is my one game of the year in person, and it's my guests' first time to an NU game. They are amazed at how intimate the arena is. It's such a fun, fantastic sports venue. I don't think there's a bad seat in the house. Talked to some DePaul fans before the game and they love the arena too.

Coach was having a bit of a discussion with the refs during the timeout. Wonder what he was saying. Seemed emphatic.

Good lord, if Mullins can start regularly hitting open threes this offense becomes something else entirely.
