I think NU is a lock now.

No way. According to the Feli algorithm, we're lucky if we have a 3/10ths of 1% chance of making...the NIT.

I feel like we're playing with house money at this point. Every thing after this is gravy.
Mmm....gravy.

I refuse to believe it is a lock until Feli says it is so. Where are you, Feli? Feli? Anyone home?

They used that term with BMac on the post game, and he said no, the team doesn't feel that way, they're playing with focus and purpose.

I heard that question asked of BMac on BTN.

A question like that is insulting and condescending. It makes it sound like we're lucky and have nothing to lose.

It's the same kind of thing they used to say about the '95 football team until they smoked PSU and Bucky and Iowa and everybody else and went undefeated.

This has just been too good a day for real Northwestern fans to have to listen to a bunch of crap

I don't take it as condescending. I take it as most of the country knows us as the team that's never made the NCAA Tournament. Well, now we're going to.

Remember, for most of the country these conference tourneys are nice, but not really that big of a deal. Top seeds drop like flies.

We've just never been in this position. I think it's clear that we're playing with significantly less pressure at this point. The "house money" phrase is kind of played ..... but I feel like that's all it means. Nothing to get insulted over.

I hate feli as much as the next WR poster but I usually agree with him, he just says everything in a massively douchey way

thank you
I thank you too, Jerry. But the pattern is repeating itself, as predictable as his moronic 2-2-1-3-1 crap. When he's called upon to answer for himself, the idiot clams up and cowers in a corner. A good spot for him, I think.
