My goodness, Northwestern is a dumpster fire.

Who knew relying on a lacrosse-player-turned-scholarship-basketball-player for major minutes was a bad idea!

How did this team beat Providence and control the game by double digits from start to finish

Is it bad to lose to Merrimack and Radford at home? Is it even worse to lose to those teams by double digits?

Providence destroyed Merrimack too. That’s why it was silly of some to suggest MSU should drop because they lost to UK, which lost to Evansville. College basketball is about matchups and which team shows up on a given night.

Radford is a solid mid major. That’s not a brutal loss. I’d still expect nw to win that game at home but Radford could probably beat Rutgers on a neutral court as well and Illinois or Minnesota on a bad day as well .

Michigan State should drop. I don’t think it’s silly to drop a team at least a few spots this early after a loss. It was a good loss but I would have at least dropped them four or five spots.

Feels like Merrimack has played everyone in the country lol

KP projects Merrimack to go 16-15, not bad for an initial foray into D1 ball.

Joey Hauser officially ineligible.

Also this tweet made me burst out laughing:

So dramatic, lmao.

Bigger tragedy: Joey Hauser’s 2019-20 or Thomas Kithier’s 2017-18?

Has Izzo ever come out and said all players should be able to transfer once like Harbaugh? If not then his complaint will fall on dead ears

Also wasn’t the waiver always a long shot? I didn’t even hear anything about it all summer. Seems like this was always the most likely outcome

:roll_eyes: Poor Izzo. Let me find the world’s smallest violin (which actually is the perfect size for him).

A collective celebration from the rest of the NABC, no doubt.

Yeah, the impression I’ve gotten is that the general situation that gets these kids eligible is either

  1. Moving closer to home
  2. Coach fired
  3. Run off from their previous school

None of those are true with Hauser.

In football at least you also see a lot of discrimination or injustice being used as a rationale at the original school
