Very impressive. Give credit to IU. They needed that win for the Dance, and dammit, they got it done.
What if you are losing before tipoff? I know some of you were also there for that one a few years ago.
Indiana wins again, so likely our favorite player to hate will actually get the dance.
However, the evil side in me chuckled a bit when with 9 seconds left, Kopp got sent to the line for the 1+1 with IU up 1 and the 91% FT shooter missed in the clutch. The Northwestern curse still clings to him.

Indiana is definitely in now. Crazy to think that Michigan which started the season ranked in the top 10 will likely miss the cut. I think the Hoosiers just took their spot.
Do you think this will give Boo/Young food for thought on whether to hit the portal? I'm sure every player wants to experience March Madness once in their careers. The move paid off for Kopp.

Kopp has been brutal. Did you see him sulking after IU beat Undie? Me me me. Him playing the most minutes last year was CCC worst move since he started here. He was never close to our best player. Stood at the 3 point waiting for others to get HIM the ball to shoot. He wasn’t good at that either in the end.
I'm pretty sure that
A) Collins told him to stand at the 3 point line
B) It was part of the reason he was unhappy at NU.
C) He specifically stated that he was more than a 3 point shooter and wanted to do more.
So, sure, Kopp thought he was better than he was/is, but Collins and Woodson have started him in every game, so he must be doing something the coaches like, even if he is still standing at the 3 point arc.
I'm sorry you're upset that things worked out for Miller Kopp. His departure doesn't bother me anymore.
Great. I am for player freedom to move. Kopp doubled down with unnecessary comments that implied he was misused. Was he really misused? He stated he was more than a 3 pointer. Was he even that? He is what is and that was evident after this year. Kopp’s ineffectiveness was not CCC’s fault. Kopp’s playing so much was CCC’s fault ( and Woodson’s). Glad he sulked over at Indiana this year.
Kopp played better as a sophomore at NU than he did as a junior for no logical reason.
And then he left the program for another team in the Big Ten and made critical comments on his way out the door about the limitations placed on him and the playing style preferred by the NU coach.
However, he remains (apparently) a good friend of Pete Nance.
Kopp is approximately an average Big Ten player.
I don't know that he sulked at Indiana, but there are some guys who are only happy when they play really well.
I don't know why that would make you happy.
He might be an average B1G Ten player. I could buy that. He’s a below average starter on a good team. That much is abundantly clear. I am not happy that he plays poorly. I just don’t care how he plays. I never cared for his body language at NU and I certainly can see it in the Indiana games I have watched. Replay the final seconds of a VICTORY Illinois.
