Minny #6 is hands all over Nick. Would like him to drive and probably draw some fouls

The whole KJ thing is mind-boggling. I understand that it was said because he doesn’t play well on defense, but there’s a about 3 guys I could say that are terrible on defense on this team but yet see more minutes.

This team is going to have trouble beating anybody home or away in the Big Ten

Reid is terrible. Who else would you say is terrible?

The coaches need to simplify the defensive scheme because this group of guys just isn't getting it. They constantly get lost on switches and burned on the double teams unlike I ever saw the past three years.

I actually don't think Green is that bad defensively. He also hits the defensive glass harder than most of his teammates.

I still think allowing KJ who has experience from last year to sit and ride the pine when this team is already offensively challenged is stupid if it’s just a defensive thing.
We are way more defensively challenged than offensively.

Will not neeed to worry about turning down anNIT bid this year. NU basketball is a mess. Got a Bowl win and two National Championships for the Lady Cats. At least some things went right.
