Epic choke job by Northwestern down the stretch.

I dont follow Utah basketball either, but is it customary to have a half-empty gym for the most important game of the year for your NCAA bubble hopes?

I just realized St. Mary's is rated #15.

I see they've been on a nice little run in 2023 but someone please chime in and compare the talent of schools like Academy of Art, LMU, Pacific, Portland.... compared to any Big 12 schedule. My God.

Saw the end of the Illinois - Northwestern game. Its comforting to see we're not the only team that chokes away big leads on the road.

"Bruce Weber – The former Illinois and Kansas State head coach who famously led the Illini to the 2005 national championship game and the Wildcats to the 2018 Elite 8 was also at Southern Illinois from 1998-2003, which ties him to Mario Moccia (Moccia was the SIU athletic director from 2006-2014). They know each other because of SIU".

TBH, Weber would be a great person to clean it all up. I'd fundraise and go after him.

I feel like he could do better than NMSU. He didn't recruit great, which was his downfall at KSU but he's a heck of a coach.

He's definitely "worth more" than they were paying the previous coach.
If he wants to coach I'm not sure if he'd get many P5 sniffs but an A10 type of school should absolutely look at him.
