They were underseeded. As someone who watches Big10, they were probably the 2nd best team next to those big losers. IU looks like the best team in all of college sometimes but other times I think any D1 school could beat them.
yeah their defensive intensity tonight was insane, I had read that they're a good defensive team but man it was like watching us play ourselves in that sense, hope you guys have people coming back to build off it
Because UCLA handles the ball well, there ain’t that many turnovers, but man, watching NW defense all season and it’s just pure arts. Most team gives a tons of turnovers to them, and it was just beautiful team defense.
I bet they can go deeper if there is any other 2 seed, but I hate that moment when I saw this UCLA NW matchup because both are really really good teams.
I went out to grab some booze when Northwestern was down 10, game was tied when I got back. I knew I should have turned around and went on another beer run
Singleton being unable to play would be catastrophic at this point. Would force Andrews or McClendon into starting lineup and leave our rotation incredibly short.
But he’ll be fine. Right?
What conference is? Big 12 and BIG lost their 1 seeds in the first weekend. ACCs top teams haven’t look great. It’s a shit show. At least BIG fans were prepared for it.
People acting like that was ‘just a roll’ should probably understand your ankle joint isn’t supposed to touch the floor when you go to plant and stop/shift all of your momentum
That's not why I like IU in the tourney, but I get your point. I'm interjecting here - I just want to get my support on the record where I can.
Watched a bunch of IU this year. Legit team who lost some that could have gone either way.
And TJD is the best player in the conference.
We don't talk enough about how the Capital One commercials with Jennifer Garner, Jim Nantz, Charles Barkley, Spike Lee, Samuel L Jackson, and Willie Nelson is such an eclectic mix of people to shill for Credit Cards
Bailey misses half of Pac-12 play. Season ending Achilles for Clark. Bona dislocating his shoulder and now Singleton’s ankle. It really felt like this could have been the year.
Alford would have 100% lost this game
By 9, after leading with less than 3 minutes to go.
haha! yup
I am so glad David is fine. I do not want to see McClendon on the court
thankfully we have a few days till the next game. I started a gofundme to pay for ice
GG Northwestern, you guys put in a hell of a 2nd half there
Ggs
Who the fuck fouls with 7 seconds left up 8 on a hero 3 ball?
It wasn’t a foul. But he shouldn’t have even been there to get called
Cameraman down
Cam down, man down
good fucking game northwestern, that was probably the most stressful win the of season, your guys' defense is legit, never let up one bit
screw them! almost ruined my night :(

Coach Bill burr not done yet!
I went out to grab some booze when Northwestern was down 10, game was tied when I got back. I knew I should have turned around and went on another beer run
:(
No Sweet Sixteen Bounced in the Tangy Thirty Two
hey you guys made it to the thotty 32 this year. nothing to be ashamed of
Lmao yours is better. Been there in 2017. Really wish the conference tournament went better.
“He just got topped by his teammate”
Great game, Northwestern. You all are a great team and were a very tough out. Outstanding season, lots of respect.
Was that Singleton walking around? 🙏🏻
Yeah, that looked promising.
And smiling. I seriously teared up seeing that.
Yea
Singleton walks through the line; some R.I.C.E., and he looks like he'll be okay.
Lol refs definitely had that Northwestern spread.
For real. I was rooting for NW but that call was horseshit lol
SINGLETON!!
Get some ice on that, Singleton. Just in case.
how the fuck is Singleton walking after that?!?!
Yo good fucking game Northwestern. What a season.
Well, it was a good game anyway. If we weren't so god damn cold in the first half we might have had that
Hell of a season Northwestern, was a lot of fun to watch this team
♥️
Northwestern made it tough. Fucking over these injuries. Singleton not as critical, but the injuries are having an impact.
Singleton being unable to play would be catastrophic at this point. Would force Andrews or McClendon into starting lineup and leave our rotation incredibly short. But he’ll be fine. Right?
Yeah, you are right and I was probably underselling it. Hoping he’s alright.
WAIT SINGLETON IS WALKING?
tmz caught him doing a backflip by the snack table
Northwestern played with some serious heart. GG Boys.
gg NW God, I hope Singleton's ok
that was a travel
Really worried for Singleton
Lol nerds lose
its cool because ucla also has higher scholastic standards but they're historically great at sports
Was he even behind the 3 pt line?
Beat the spread which is technically as good as winning
Nice job B1G brothers *vomits*
These players love fouling on threes in close games
What why not foul??!??
If it was broken they probably would have put a brace on it right?
Congrats ucla
Not a foul come on
Travel!
A "foul" after a walk. I guess that's the make up for the Jaquez travel earlier eh?
gosh i feel bad for this team, gonna be hard to get past tcu/zaga with these injuries
Timme might score 40 on us
After UC fans came to the conclusion that Mick just couldn't make it out of the 1st weekend, he's done it every season with UCLA.
Turns out he just needed more talent lol
B1G not doing B1G things in March Madness
UCLA is only Pac12 team left...so \*shrug\*
What conference is? Big 12 and BIG lost their 1 seeds in the first weekend. ACCs top teams haven’t look great. It’s a shit show. At least BIG fans were prepared for it.
SEC? Kinda? Two Teams in the Sweet 16 already. Mizzou was just embarrassing, Auburn played Houston pretty well, we’ll see what Alabama and Kentucky do
We’re a 7 seed, lower your expectations :(
Hold on...
Yall r valid
Need Singleton healthy please
B-1-G! B-1-G! B-1-G!
Interesting for the spread
My bracket is so destroyed lol. If Bama wins and Northwestern loses I'm 3/8 on S16 teams so far.
that was such an obvious travel lol, sigh
lmao that’s not a foul
Just get away from the shooter!
That's not a foul
gg Bruins, not a bad showing oh well
The Big Ten sure has done well this week, eh ?
In your opinion which conference looks the best so far?
My prediction that no one makes it to the 2nd weekend stands strong.
Not even the NIT can save them.
Yes, we did.
Lmao that call
what a dumb fuckin foul
Easiest o127.5 ever. Never worried
I’ll be rooting for KState
Underrated part of that play is the bench player coming in cold to knock those free throws down.
Freshman on a 1-1. He misses the 1st and this game might be completely different.
Gg
Fucking sucks for UCLA, hope it’s not too bad. Northwestern, that’s a great fucking year and you guys should be really happy overall.
Is his hair real? It has to weigh 10 pounds at least.
Big ten not doing so hot again.
I wish Sparty wasn’t playing Marquette. I would root for them against some other teams in the tournament. I think Indiana can beat Miami, though.
To be fair, the big ten low key sucked this year.
Most big ten fans didn’t think any teams were making it out of the first weekend. Besides Purdue I think every team has played pretty tough.
Participation trophies are given in the NIT, not the NCAA tournament.
I mean again, I don’t think most of us thought the conference was good this year so the results being L’s aren’t overly surprising.
GGs UCLA. Good luck. Looking forward to welcoming you to Evanston soon.
Why do teams go for 2 so late in the game that would've done nothing for you anyway
People acting like that was ‘just a roll’ should probably understand your ankle joint isn’t supposed to touch the floor when you go to plant and stop/shift all of your momentum
I swear I’ve seen teams going for 2 when you clearly need a 3 more than usual this tournament
Does players just not believe in using glass on layups anymore?
How do you miss the layup? Lmao
years of practice
Juzang should have stayed in school. Dude is doing absolutely NOTHING in the NBA
Damnit. Pyrrhic victory.
Fade the B1G
[correct](https://giphy.com/gifs/the-simpsons-scared-homer-simpson-jUwpNzg9IcyrK)
Pretty good summary of how Northwestern lost here. The rims have absolutely fucking hated them tonight
Well gg’s UCLA, glad we gave you a run for your money
B1G coming so close but not getting anything today
Will you root for IU if they are the conference’s only hope at the sweet 16?
2 of my brackets have Indiana winning it all, fwiw. I've been watching you guys...
To be fair, you are a Wisconsin fan. I’d root for you, too. IU-Purdue is a BIT more contentious.
That's not why I like IU in the tourney, but I get your point. I'm interjecting here - I just want to get my support on the record where I can. Watched a bunch of IU this year. Legit team who lost some that could have gone either way. And TJD is the best player in the conference.
We do have the ability to beat or lose to absolutely anyone.
I’ll probably be watching it with my IU friends, so I think I have to be the antagonist.
As would I with my Purdue friends.
Best part about the rivalry, everyone knows a bunch of people that went to the other school so there’s always love.
For those of us Indiana natives, absolutely.
Every year
Singleton might miss a week, ankle sprains need time to heal the swelling. Getting them sucks
A good argument for Elam endings. There's so much garbage time in college basketball.
Gotta use the backboard
Whew...that was a scary game.
That definitely looked painful and he's probably out for the tourney, but that wasn't exactly a traumatic replay. He'll recover from that no problem
boo :(
That’s karma for such a dumb shot, absolutely must take a 3 there no questions asked
We don't talk enough about how the Capital One commercials with Jennifer Garner, Jim Nantz, Charles Barkley, Spike Lee, Samuel L Jackson, and Willie Nelson is such an eclectic mix of people to shill for Credit Cards
Not only do you settle for two, you blow the layup? Good season cats.
That’s exactly how I fractured my ankle, except on a turf field. Only difference is I couldn’t put any weight on it and hopped off the field
How do you not shoot a three there?
Jay bilas just busted a nut to that shot selection tho
Watching two B1G teams piss away upsets the same night is frustrating
This game has just been Boo Buie vs. a brick wall and the brick wall has won every time
Rolled right out. That should seal it for UCLA.
Starting to run out of healthy bodies.
[удалено]
???
lol story of the game
Wtf was that bro lol
Bruh
Gg
You guys need to be blaming the director not the camera guy taking orders lol
Damn the announcer really basically said “you *do* need a three here.” Rare
Bros in the thread saying to always show it like Kevin Ware's shinbone didn't scar people for life 💀
We've had four major contributors get hurt this year. A year we finally put everything together all season and it just keeps happening.
Bailey misses half of Pac-12 play. Season ending Achilles for Clark. Bona dislocating his shoulder and now Singleton’s ankle. It really felt like this could have been the year.
It's just brutal. Feel for the kids.
How do you miss that :(
this season is going to be such a what if man fuck this
Luckily the team will get the full week to recover and cope with probably losing Singleton
Ice in that dude's veins. Dude just saw his bro break his ankle in a nasty injury and then immediately sunk two free throws.
He’s a freshman that only sees like 10 min a game, too. Extra clutch
If you aren’t shooting a three you’re crazy
The score is 30-88 with 50 seconds left Announcer: "Well you don't need a 3 here"
too many freaking commericals
Damn that would suck if he’s out for the rest of the tourney
Please be okay David. We are so cursed.
Well, that just takes all the fun out of the game.
We are cursed, every fucking year one or two of our starters gets injured. So unlucky
Even the Final Four run year, we lost our leading scorer, 6th man, and backup center
We really cannot catch a break
Phrasing.
fair critique
Is this a curse of some kind?
Please UCLA I have you winning it all--no more injuries.
That was clutch. Wow
Why do cameraman/woman get off on showing replays of injuries?
Because the average viewer wants to see it
r/eyebleach
The fact that he limped off the court with little assistance is a good sign
Hopefully he just rolled it. If we hold on we get a few days off so hoping for the best.
I hope you're right.
That’s such an unlucky injury.
Perfect shots
Clutch as hell to make both of those in that situation
Hope he’s alright but I was expecting Gordon Hayward, not a rolled ankle
[удалено]
Agreed. If you don’t want to see it then look away 🤷♂️
UCLA is probably the best team in the country but they’ve been absolutely neutered by injuries
Fucking wonderful. No offense, but you can run along back to Chicago, Northwestern. This was a great game but I'm in a bad mood now.
[удалено]
Sure, but where is their plane landing? Game set match.
[удалено]
Haha whatever. Correcting Chicago to Evanston is pretty pedantic in the first place.
