It's a rarity for Northwestern today: a 4 pm CT weekday tip for a game on CBS Sports Network.

The Cats take on Virginia in the Greenbrier Tip-Off in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.

The ball sticks in Wests hands a little too much and then he lost his man and didn’t box out. Has to clean it up with Reid in foul trouble.

Nick's big weakness is his defense. He can't stay in front of his man.

What happened to our ball movement and cutting? It's all one guy dribbling around

Roughest game I can remember from Martinelli. He's trying to force too much. I actually think Collins should pull him for the rest of the half to try to get his head straight. I think the shooting will come if he settles down.

Page keeping us within striking distance. We're going to need to fix some things at halftime or I'm afraid Virginia will pull away.

Nick has played the whole game and as people have mentioned probably having one of his worst games. Tre doesn't look like he's having much of a game either. Bottom line they are just much much bigger and more aggressive

Unless things improve, rebounding might put a ceiling on what this team can accomplish this year. We gave up 12 offensive boards in the first half!

Northwestern is pretty fantastic, maybe even a borderline top 25 team... except at rebounding. We're bottom of the Carmody era disasterously bad at rebounding. 12 offensive rebounds is a train wreck. I don't have second chance points in front of me but it's a shitshow. Our size doesn't help, but it's not just that, Page is also a terrible rebounder and the wings get caught sleeping and outrebounded by crashing guards all the time too.

I feel like the press they are putting on NU every possession is throwing the offense off it's rhythm.
