Northwestern basketball played easily its best game of the season on Sunday afternoon, battling for 40 minutes with an outstanding Purdue team in one of the country’s toughest road environments before eventually coming up just short.
It was a fun, high-quality college basketball game that, even in a loss, inspired hope that Northwestern might be ready to turn its season around.
But that’s not what the post-game discussion was about on social media and the rest of the internet. The focus was all on comments made by NU coach Chris Collins in his press conference.
