Jays at Northwestern - 7:30 on Big Ten Network

[Aces1982]

Jays 9 point dog.

Surprises me, seems a little high.

Hope our defense comes to play today. NW runs the princeton offense and has lots of weapons. Good thing we are awesome at perimeter defense. Thompson and Shurna are supposed to be pretty good players and Crawford was the Big 10 Frosh of the year last year. This year he is avg just under 20pts in their first 3 games.

Wildcats haven't played in 8 days. We'll hope they didn't practice during that time or that they are just so freaked out when they see Gregory sitting on the bench that we will prevail.

I'm hoping that the long break will make them a little rusty and we can jump on them early and take the crowd out of it.

With the Jays playing Friday night (albeit against a very mediocre team) and Northwestern having 8 days to focus on Creighton, I would be surprised if we pull this one out tonight. We will need to slow down their 3 pt shooting and not let it get away from us early. Should be good preparation for Wednesday when BYU and their shooters come into Omaha.

Go Jays!!! Tame the pussycats!

Valley needs this one badly to keep the momentum going. Up to 8th in the RPI with the Horizon at 7th. Just keep the W's coming and the rest will take care of itself

Go Jays!!! We missed our chance for a win in the Big Ten. Go get yours tonight

I share the same concerns. The Princeton offense is tough to prepare for when a school has a good deal of prep time. With Creighton not having much prep time at all, I am pretty concerned. Add to that the fact that CU's perimeter defense has been suspect at best and my concern is escalated even more.

This is a 3 pt shooting contest.
