The Cats, for the first time in more than two months, are coming off of a win. Unfortunately, Maryland has won five in a row. They have the No. 2 scoring defense in the Big Ten, so this one could be a taffy pull offensively for NU.

Beran and Buie are both in the starting lineup tonight.

Going down 7-0 to start the game is not ideal. Nor is a long contested 2 from Audige. Let's find better shots.

Have we had a good start since we got back to the genius Nance at the 5?

Wanted to support this team for playing tough and snapping the streak. But man, this is hard to watch.

Will we reach 55? The anticipation is killing me

Offense finally produced the first good shot. Boo missed it but Nance gets a nice rebound and putback. Illustration that someone that can drive makes a big difference in opening up shots...

Now again. Ball goes in, sets up a drive for Boo who passes for a nice three by Berry. Three good shots in row from the offense. This is what they need to do.

Now ball goes into Young, doubled, nice pass out and a good shot by Audige.
Young Doubled again, ball out to Buie, penetration, collapse, Berry hits 3 in the corner. Almost like we have a guy taller than anyone on the other team that knows how to play with his back to the basket

This team has got to focus on creating “good shots” from the offense. So far it’s been all about either a good drive and pass back out or ball going into Young and back out. Offense really changed when Young came in.

Two more doubles on RY. Two wide open threes. Missed. But so much better than this crap Buie is forcing

3 for Buie off the double team on Nance inside. Almost like we have a coach on the sideline capable of recognizing advantages

What in the world happened to Kopp? I haven't watched the past several games... guy used to be automatic from 3 when in rhythm. Now can't even get close.

Again! He does this half-assed help on D and leaves everyone open for 3s. And he doesn’t fight through screens. But his own 3s are en fuego!
