Since no one started one yet. Let's get a solid road win!

Shooting under 30% from the field and range is absolutely disgusting. I understand Northwestern has a really good 2 point defense but still, this is awful to watch. Great effort on the board and solid effort on defense though.

Khayat has played sparsely in 7 games as a freshman. You might be a little premature in your assessment. T Will as solid as a frosh and last year. When he has a defined role on the team, he plays it well. This year is a bit of a scramble. It seems as if only Hunter, Kobe, and Dug have defined roles. Well more than halfway through the season - who's the 6th man? Who's the go to scorer? Who do you run a play for when you need a bucket? Who is the stopper on defense? All of this should have been established early in the season.

Much better defensive effort tonight so far! But with Audige struggling, would have been nice if they could have built up a bigger lead. Dickinson has to focus on better finishing near the rim in 2H. Happy Khayat got some run, but no Tschetter is head scratching!

29% shooting.  This team has very little talent.  I thought the one advantage Juwan had over Beilein was the ability to get elite recruits.  I was wrong - Beilein’s eye for talent was far superior to what we’ve seen from Howard.
