Very winnable game for us today. I had a chance to work a Northwestern game earlier this year against Butler, so a few observations:
1. Excellent backcourt in McIntosh and Lindsey. McIntosh runs the whole show. He can score when needed, but looks to distribute. I think Watson could give him a lot of trouble though. McIntosh was excellent against Butler's starting PG, who is steady, but when Butler went to a really athletic freshman PG, he struggled to contain him and got his pocket picked a couple times.
2. Lindsey is streaky. If he gets hot, he is really good.
3. Post game is a lot like ours. They have 6-7 and 6-8 guys and do not actively try to get the ball inside. I actually think Morrow could have a big day.
4. They have no depth. This team is really 7 deep and doesn't get hardly anything from the bench.
They are well coached and defend well. They took a very good Butler team to the wire and lost on a last second jumper by that athletic freshman.
Nebraska 71 Northwestern 63
