Grit Personified: Northwestern's Brooks Barnhizer Got His Fake Teeth Knocked Out Of His Mouth Mid-Play, Still Refuses To Miss Any Time

I know when you think of grit in basketball you likely don’t think of Northwestern.

A man named Brooks wouldn’t come to mind.

But Brooks Barnhizer is grit personified.

He doesn’t care about losing his regular teeth, fake teeth, any teeth really.

There’s a reason the most popular hockey podcast in the world is called Spittin Chiclets.

College basketball has Brooks Barnhizer and that’s good in my book.

This is where NIL needs to step in.

You’re in Chicago, plenty of dentists around.

People should be already calling him with offers.

All you gotta promise is that his teeth stop flying out of his mouth.

Shout out Brooks Barnhizer who is still out there playing today even though they are down 41-18 at half.
