Northwestern vs. Ohio State, Sunday, 1 PM, BTN

LitlBuck

Kevin Warren is an ass
The Wildcats come calling with a 15-4 record including a 4-2 record in the B1G..

THE OPENING TIP...
• Northwestern is playing it fifth road game among its first seven games of the Big Ten season.
The Wildcats enter Sunday’s game with a 3-1 road record in league play thus far.

• The Wildcats are coming off a dominant 89-54 home win over Iowa last Sunday, Jan. 15.
Scottie Lindsey posted 22 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals en route to being named
Big Ten Player of the Week.

Bryant McIntosh contributed a double-double (20 points, 10 as-sists) as Northwestern posted its largest victory ever against Iowa. The ’Cats shot a season-best
59.7 percent from the field and finished the game on a 33-7 run over the final 13 minutes.

Scottie Lindsey has scored in double figures in all 19 games this season. It’s the most consec-
utive games with 10+ points for a Northwestern player since John Shurna compiled 22 in a row
during the 2011-12 campaign. It’s the most consecutive to start a season since Evan Eschmeyer
opened the 1998-99 season with 24 straight.

Northwestern is seeking its second four-game Big Ten winning streak in the last three sea-
sons. The Wildcats last won four straight league games from Feb. 15-25, 2015.

And, most importantly, Northwestern is battling to make the NCAA's for the first time.....EVER. They must be viewing this as a must-win game. By the power of Musberger, noted Wildcat and purveyor of "Big Kat" and "Holy Buckeye", I declare this game to be a toss-up. The Buckeyes are what they are...and no one knows what that means. We are good enough to be dangerous and bad enough to be nauseating...may the best team win. I kind of wouldn't mind seeing Northwestern finally make the NCAAS....if it's at our expense, so be it.

I hear ya, and normally I feel that way...but this year's team? I'm just blah about 'em. We'll see. I don't mind them taking out some higher ranked teams, but the B1G just doesn't have much this year to spoil!

I've been pretty blah about OSU basketball the past few years to be honest.

It doesn't make me go getting all warm and fuzzy for anyone else in the B1G. They are not our friends.Fuck 'em.

Buckeyes are only favored by 1 point in this game. This one makes me nervous. Hopefully all the players are taking the Wildcats seriously.

How this year's team could be overconfident against any B1G team is beyond me. Florida Atlantic won in Value City Arena. :ohbrother:

Lol...his name is Vic Law. I thought they said Dick Long.

There used to be a professor in the now extinct OSU film school who went by Rico Long. His name in the directory was listed as Richard B. Long. That explains the choice of Rico. (Really cool dude, btw.)
