I know people don’t think of Northwestern for basketball or bullies or grit.

But this is what happens when you have a Brooks Barnhizer out there.

The man has a bully heart, he’s all grit baby.

Teeth aren’t that important anyways.

I love that he said he had to be out there with the guys.

Ultimate locker room man right there.

Guy just wants to play basketball and hang out with the fellas.

That’s the beauty of college basketball right there.

That’s how you build a program with your best players in this era.

Incredible mustache too, goes perfect with the voice.

Again, I know Northwestern doesn’t come to mind with all this stuff, but they are good.

Chris Collins has actually turned them into a regular Tournament team.

If Barnhizer stops losing chiclets and can stay healthy they’ll be right in the mix for another bid.
