Wait, I thought Stauskas was just a shooter.
January 30th, 2013 at 7:53 PM ^
Hey, did you know that Trey Burke is right-handed, but he can go left?
January 30th, 2013 at 7:54 PM ^
January 30th, 2013 at 7:54 PM ^
Tom Hamilton must be on the Northwestern payroll with the way he's stumping for the Wildcats being able to win this game. Seriously, this game was there for the taking for Northwestern!?!
You a comedian, Tom Hamilton. You a comedian.

has yet to translate it to the court.

Remember who he's guarding...
Wait, I have no effing clue who he's guarding. Some future accountant I'm sure.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:00 PM ^
They're calling those missed layups without recognizing that the defenders did a good job altering the shots.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:01 PM ^
January 30th, 2013 at 8:03 PM ^
Yeah I think Victor Oladipo and Cody Zeller will probably finish a few more of these than NW.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:04 PM ^
January 30th, 2013 at 8:09 PM ^
Umm... no...
I think that was my point.

Game... blouses? Game. Blouses.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:06 PM ^
It came out of nowhere and now I'm seeing it everywhere.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:08 PM ^
January 30th, 2013 at 8:10 PM ^
I read them all and I did not get the referenece either.
How about not being too cool for school and just telling us?
January 30th, 2013 at 8:12 PM ^
"Game blouses" kinda almost rhymes with "Game Stauskas"
January 30th, 2013 at 8:38 PM ^
kind of a reach IMHO, but that's Brian.
January 30th, 2013 at 10:00 PM ^
It's more of the way he's dunked and release his dunk/come to the ground, earlier in the year (a few weeks back versus any of the past couple games). Stauskas' release of the rim a few times was reminscent of how Prince lowered himself in the immortal-like manner...two hands, to one hand, to no hands! The rhyming thing? Eh, a bit of a stretch.

Chapelle Show reference. Google it, funny stuff.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:02 PM ^
really dissapointed there is not a free live stream going...But watching the gamecast is equally as entertaining.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:04 PM ^
FT shooting could be a major problem for us in close games.. We really only have one very good FT shooter (Stauskas).
January 30th, 2013 at 8:07 PM ^
Eh, Burke and Hardaway are fine.
Remember, we've got a small sample size as far as FTA goes. I'm not worried.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:07 PM ^
What about: Burke .775, THjr .736, GRIII .700?
January 30th, 2013 at 8:20 PM ^
Not gunna lie, I didn't look up percentages before that post; I would have thought they would be lower.. Classic focusing on the negative over the positive I suppose. Glad to be wrong.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:08 PM ^
Burke is a pretty solid FT shooter, his percentage is nearly that of Stauskas iirc.
January 30th, 2013 at 10:27 PM ^
What's weird...I know Nik has this very good percentage from the line but I swear to gawd he misses one every trip to the line I see (which is about all of them). I see Trey usually making both (sometimes he'll miss one).

Over/Under 1:09 left for when we see obligatory Eso or Blake 3-pt attempt.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:17 PM ^
Damn, 13 seconds off.
