I got to watch the NW game from about the last 5 minutes of the 1st half on. NW nearly stole that game with the good old fashioned stalling tactic and finally hit a few 3's. Run the shotclock, bombs away on a 3 and hope--those geniuses at NW are clearly just smarter than everyone else
This is a game where those who didn't see the game would say "really?" or "I told you so," but I told my boys earlier in the day that this was the perfect trap game, and then with Shurna out, it became even more so for that one game. NW did what they wanted to do, and probably feel pretty good about themselves today.
I thought Ohio State played well, NW just limited the number of possessions. The Buckeyes had a blowout working until that flukey 7 point play. Get on the bus, get of town.
I will be very surprised if they make it through this stretch of games undefeated. Michigan, @Wisc, @ Purdue, Mich. St. That will be hard to not stub a toe.
But, I am of a mind that the sooner the undefeated tag goes away, the better. It won't change a thing for seeding and it will remove some of the pressure of being undefeated this late in the season.
