Collins Crushes Conference
“Chris Collins took a shot at the Big Ten after his team’s win on Wednesday.
After Northwestern beat Minnesota 72-64 in the opening round of the Big Ten tournament, Collins directed some pointed comments at the conference for what he saw as unfair treatment.
Collins opened his press conference by discussing the fact that the Big Ten put his team up in a hotel without air conditioning, claiming the rooms were 85 degrees.
He added, “We’re used to being treated like that by this league.”
While he was smirking when he said it, Collins appeared to be referring to some of the calls that have gone against the Wildcats this season.”
Collins has the Cats playing their tails off - fighting on the ropes in the Big Ten Tournament. But this is textbook how to ball coach right here. Win a big game, then call out the naysayers.
Collins is sick of the conference holding the Cats down. And bunking the boys in a Motel Six for the tournament was the final straw. Flawless approach from one of the best coaches in the country. ‘Us vs. Everyone’ to the media following a postseason dub. Surfing the wave of momentum - and getting barreled.
