Down only 1 at Michigan State at the half.
Holy blank !
Northwestern could pull this off !
I want to silently apologize to Al Nolen for thinking he had a horrible game. Well he did of course but Mich St. isn't doing a whole lot better.
Lol .. is Izzo getting out coached ?![]()
NW actually missed some key free throws down the stretch but got the job done on the defensive end. I'm thinking Carmody's seat got a lot cooler this week.
Talk about a nice RPI boost too.
If NW had made late FTs on Thursday against Purdue, we'd be talking about an amazing three-game winning streak for them (#14 PU, #17 MN, #7 MSU). They absolutely had Purdue dead late in that game and missed a boatload of FTs, including front ends of 1-and-1's. Northwestern won't win the Big Ten, but it appears they will have a say in who will.
RPI doesn't differentiate between who you beat and who you lose to.
If that was the case RPI would line up perfectly with strength of schedule.
