Me neither. All of the stuff written about our team recently says "this team is different." They're going to win tomorrow night and they're going to be deserved guests at The Party.

One positive way to look at this is that Scottie was clearly off his tucker in the last two games and NU was nevertheless able to prevail, albeit by slim margins.

They said it was his back. This rest will allow him to get that back in shape.

You never know. One of the common effects of mono is an enlarged spleen. Could that have been the discomfort he was feeling? He won't be cleared to play until his spleen is OK.

No doubt a great opportunity for a couple of our youngest guys. This will be excellent for this year if we can find a way to get those necessary 4+ more wins and Lindsey makes it back in March, but it will be awesome for what we're gonna have next year in Rosemont.

The good thing is we will get him back. If he had gond down with some other issue, might not have and that would definitely hurt the season.

Slim margins? We won both games by double digits and were firmly in control throughout save for the first few minutes of the Indiana game.

Isiah Brown has an Isiah Brown Game lurking in him this season. No idea when it will happen, but I feel like it will.
