Northwestern must be better than what I thought they’d be. They beat Michigan State on the road, then beat DePaul 83-45 today. They only lost to Auburn by 1 point.
I don’t quite understand it given that it’s the same guys minus Nance/Young.
They improved, by a lot. Not long ago, I said they were crap. But Boo Buie has been coming to play, and they stopped shooting 30 percent from the field.
IIRC, in the Auburn game, they held the opponent below 33 percent shooting, but then they clanged most of their own shots. With even a lick of offense, they would have won.
Also, Auburn sucks and cheats, and it was good to see USC beat them yesterday.
