Review/Preview

It is impossible to write anything more evocative on Northwestern's tortured, miserable, last-place basketball season than this gif of Chris Collins on all fours slapping the floor, his eyes glazed with a sheen of madness. This might be my favorite basketball gif of all time. Collins is no longer coaching. He is not drawing a play. He is not giving an inspirational speech about rebounding. He is watching his team hang tough with the number two ranked team in the country, he has seen a foul called, and he is reacting as if he is Charlton Heston and the University of Michigan has erected a Statue of Liberty in the student section.
