This one was totally on his in game decisions. Forcing MR when he obviously wasn't ready. Trying to go big when NW got the lead by hitting 3s is egregious. All they had to do is shadow Berry and it is a win.
Woody 0fer Northwestern... LOL

He’s never taught them how to play on someone’s hip, I’m sure. His “nail” bullshit is beyond his own abilities to teach. And it just puts our off the ball defenders on skates.
Please let it be over soon. No matter who the next guy is…I can’t fathom he won’t teach them how to ride a shooters hip defensively.
That and the constant backside defender drift into LALA Land only to get burned on a cross court pass for open three is mind numbing.
It’s tough to beat elite programs. He has a couple more years to take down the Wildcats.
5 straight losses to NW with what common denominator?
2 years in and Mgbako remains absolutely clueless on d. Gave up more defensively than he scored tonight. Leal and Galloway? A combined 10 years experience and looked totally out of control with the ball out there tonight.
not sure that’s true. Doesn’t matter though, he’s tried it at IU. And he isn’t teaching it well.
So you did see the NW student with sign - Extend Woidy 0-5.
Just for reference…RMK was 51-3. But hey, there’s always tomorrow.
He never had to deal with injuries and bad fans.
Ahh... so you're saying the chicken comes before the egg.
Remember them all, as in the 3 losses. All in Evanston. ‘82, IU had around 25 TO’s pre-renovation when it was still McGaw Hall. Coach Knight fuming on his Coach’s Show, filmed right when they got back late Saturday-night. ‘84 a young IU team, that was actually in the BT race dropped one in a head scratcher. ‘88, BTN Funny Man, Shon Morris and Jeff Grosse, from Warsaw, got it done on Big Monday in front of Dickie V. Was at this one.
Ah, now I have the Annie soundtrack song back in my head.
It’s now tomorrow, so the “sun will come up”, supposedly. But 5 am in gloomy Chicago, and I am unsure. VBG

Buckner said this is proof Woodson is highly respected by others.
I believe after one of their ‘too close’ wins in Evanston, Coach Knight had tossed all the McDonalds meals (that the assistants had purchased for the team for the flight home) out onto the tarmac before the flight took off!😂🍟
I’m sure you are being sarcastic, but it is clearly a staple of NBA defense. The NBA has dozens of knock down 3 point shooters who need very little room to make their shots. Watch Nembhart.
Not a defense of Woody (believe me), but I’m pretty sure during the 90s everyone was 51-3 against NW.
Valid point. But few B1G coaches are presently oh for their last 5, while also being oh for the last 4 vs Neb including several beat downs.
I recall him tossing peppermint candy to the NW students one year.
That was in 2000, Knight’s mea culpa to the student section and The year after the infamous ‘99 “Hoosier Daddy” game where coach Knight didn’t know the connotation and “took it up a few notches” with Kevin O’Neill after the game when IU came back to win.
