NU grad Rahm Emanuel shows no mercy for Vandy player who goofed

He is the guy who scored more than 20 points four times in the first 14 games. Over the rest of this season and during his senior year, more records will fall and more banners will rise.

Gonzaga vs. Northwestern prediction and game preview, as the No. 1 Bulldogs and No. 8 Wildcats face off in the NCAA Tournament’s second round.

It hit him that not a single player who had worn a Northwestern jersey had ever played in one with that patch, that no Northwestern player had ever stepped on the NCAA tournament floor and that he was about to become one of the first.

“He shot the 3 really well”, Vanderbilt coach Bryce Drew said. Sometimes this jacked-up psyche gives the team a boost, but more often it causes sloppy play, which is why I think the Commodores will take a strong lead early on. Northwestern could’ve scored on that possession had McIntosh not been fouled. There’s plays throughout the whole game that coaches can call better, that players can play better. I had thought we were down one, instead of up one. “We escaped. We’ve been in a lot of games like that where game situations need a big defensive stop”.

McIntosh has made 86.41% of his free throws throughout the season.

Northwestern used an efficient offense to prevail in the end.

London Perrantes had 24 points to lead the Cavaliers as they shot 50 percent from the field.

Never mind for now that the win came thanks largely to a jaw-dropping last-second fail by Vanderbilt’s star – we’ll cover that in a second.

But seconds after the in-bounds pass, Fisher-Davis reached out and grabbed McIntosh around the waist while the Northwestern guard was dribbling up the backcourt. But a quick 5-0 NU run got the crowd right back into it, and NU took a 34-27 lead to the locker room. “So that has to be a bad situation, a awful feeling to have to know your season ended and to have a lot of the blame put on you when the game is played 40 minutes, not just in the last two”.

He’s blossomed into the Wildcats’ all-time assists leaders (541) and was named a second-team All-Big Ten selection after averaging 14.4 points and 5.2 assists per game.

Gonzaga isn’t likely to experience the same degree of offensive struggles in the second round. The Commodores win 70-58 and move on to beat South Dakota State in a 2015 NIT rematch, advancing to the Sweet 16.

“We’re just excited to see another day”, Collins said. “We put in the work, hours upon hours in the gym, and we’re all confident shooters and post players”. We weren’t anxious about it. I hate solicitors. The game was too exciting so I just invited him in rather than hear his sales pitch or rudely tell him to get off my porch.

There’s no question that Northwesterners are thrilled to not only be in the tournament, but to have advanced to the second round.
