An Uncomfortably Close Hoops Win & Football's Loss to Ohio State

  • Summary

  • Zach took a trip to catch two Northwestern sporting events in less than 24 hours over the weekend, beginning with a narrow victory over Eastern Illinois for men's basketball. He talks about the scare the team got due to a poor second half on offense before lauding Jalen Leach for taking over in his first signature sequence as a Wildcat (1:46). Then, he discusses the end of game rotation for Chris Collins and what that might tell us about this team and stresses the importance of Brooks Barnhizer's return (8:28). Next, he pivots to football's loss to Ohio State, focusing on the lack of consistency and how that further separates Northwestern from the top teams in the Big Ten (14:44). He also dissects a strong start for the offense quickly getting sidetracked by self-inflicted mistakes (22:57). Finally, he discusses how Ohio State’s defense got much better over the course of the game while Northwestern’s defense struggled to keep the talented Buckeyes' skill players in check (30:19).
