Cat Chat from Thursday
General thoughts from the Cat Chat on Thursday with coach Bill Carmody.
- Carmody talked about the incident at the Illinois game with the pizza being thrown on the floor by a Northwestern student, but joked that if the students were anything like the team, "they probably missed."
- Carmody discussed a medical redshirt for Ivan Tolic, a player whose career may never really start.
- Carmody said Mike Thompson needs to develop a signature move in the post. Carmody also discussed that Thompson doesn't quite have the challenge in practice that he faces against the Big Ten big men.
- Carmody theorized that Mohammed Hachad is more bulked up from last season and may have lost a little quickness. He's had Hachad watch tape of games from last year. Hachad's play is one of the biggest disappointments of the season.
- Evan Seacat will likely see more playing time in the near future. He's been buried on the bench for the last month.
- Carmody said freshman Brandon Lee would return this season from his suspension, but did not give any specifics.
