Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Rutgers

I feel better about him than Reid. Someone out there has to be able to hit an outside shot. We’re getting all this efficiency from Mart but the math doesn’t add up without outside shooting.

Green is a solid passer and rebounder. He was getting beat on D last night and it earned him a spot on the bench for the duration.

My biggest beef with Collins is when things gets tight he snaps at guys / pulls guys on the edge of the rotation. Everyone tightens up and you see what happens down the stretch.

There's been discussion about NU's worst "luck" score on KenPom. Collins's "luck" in bad seasons ultimately is the result of his coaching.

This is big boy ball. Players are elite. The expection should be that they can execute. If they can’t they should sit. Accountability comes with the territory. I don’t see ccc going off all that much and if he does it always about a mental lapse not a physical error. Toughness isn’t just physical it’s mostly mental.
