ESPN is just BS
Unless I’m missing something, ESPN is giving NW 53% chance of winning tomorrow’s game.

Everyone knows that BPI is the 2nd worst index in exisitance - and that [checks notes] the NET ranking [glances at notes again]....wait... the NCAA uses NET to actually seed the tournament, WTF?!?!?!?
This planet really went to shit after that Spaceball ship crash landed here

Let's see what we're made of!

Pardon me?
bulletin board material.

Is this the spread in Vegas?
I think taking Michigan would be a good bet.

if the piece on Tua and his dad beating him with a belt if he didn't play well enough after high school games doesn't tell you everything you need to stay away from ESPN, I'm not sure what will.

ESPN predictive analytics....a wet fart....who is to say that these are not the same thing or at least very similar?

I've had pretty good success predicting wet farts, especially as I get older. Too much beer the night before combined with late night Taco Bell usually does the trick. Or gas station sushi.

I have had no respect for ESPN since "The Decision." If not for live sporting events it would be a complete waste of a channel.

It's difficult to win on the road.

You are just now figuring this out?
ESPN is BS for a lot of reasons already. This is just one thin, butt hair of another reason.

It is clear as day people they average .5 more points a game than we do! We are doomed! I don't even see why we should suit up for this one... Our only hopes are against teams that average less points than we do per game... Can we play Florida instead?

I hate to bring this up but...
*Three years ago when we traveled to Northwestern, we lost in double overtime. There were 5 separate times I thought we had the win wrapped up and then every 3 point prayer NU threw up somehow went in over and over and over. It was maddening.
*Two years ago when we traveled to Northwestern, Irvin's attempted game winner was way off, NU goes coast to coast in 2 seconds and get the buzzer beater...ESPN has a clip they show ENDLESSLY for the rest of the year.
*Last year when we traveled to Northwestern, there was no miracles for once, but still a loss. The game at Crisler was ugly and uninspired. This one was just...stupid.
It's because of these games that I have grown a hatred towards Northwestern basketball and I'm not thrilled over the thought of playing there, all this in spite of the fact of how great our guys have looked so far.

Ken Pom gives us a 67% chance of winning. He is predicting 66-61. I think if we make free throws we win this game by double digits. KenPom is much better than ESPN and has better results.
