Soaking It In

Man this is crazy. A team that should not have won a game in the B1G turns in the best year in program history. So amazing. So glad to have been sooo wrong. And so looking forward to the BTT and the Dance.

Stuff like this is all I ever wanted to see at NU. **** admissions - NU can win. Just takes coaching and some players.

BB might be something special. Scottie Pippen? Got a handle, good D, can score all around the court, just plays it right. No drama, nothing out of control. I’m super impressed with him.

I thought they would finish last.

They did it playing Fitzball - tough defense, boring offense, missed 3 pt field goals

Their defense is fun to watch. Unlike last few years, these are games that are fun to watch - even when they lose.

Love BB and MN. Love the maturation of Boo. Then the rest seem to show up as needed - Berry, Chase, even Beran. This truly is a fun team to folllow.

And unlike out golden FB coach, CCC has showed humility and a willingness to change. Boy is he refreshing. And draws media at his pressers - guess belittling the remaining student media doesn’t inspire the pros to attend - making your program a story does. And being real makes you even more interesting.

I’m not going think about next year - too many variables. I’m simply going to enjoy this gift and actually look forward to Friday. I’ll be there.

Collins maturity, humility and even- keeled demeanor was noticeably different - in a good way- than what I'd seen before. And it translated well into a consistently good team on the court.

I think you are right! He has matured into a better coach and it made a huge difference!

Guy on BTN said he has never seen such a big change in a player as he has seen in BB

Absolutely. Collins seems like a different coach this year. Calm. Assured. Confident. Focused on the next step. And Boo has matured more than any player I can recall. Contributes at all levels, even in an “off” night. Kudos all around.
