First-half thread for NU vs. Michigan

[lou v]

Well, at this point, NU has no room for error. The Cats desperately need a signature win over a tournament team. Why not Michigan?

A couple shots go in for us early -

Cats off to a good start, hitting 3 of their first 4 shots, while Michigan is 1 of 5.

Loved Skelly beating the double-team for an old-fashioned 3-point play.

Great job defensively and rebounding so far

Keep me coming Cats! Get the ball inside to Pardon

 

[Figrating]

Gotta make more of the ez ones

A real offensive barnburner here.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Had a chance to put some distance early and couldn’t throw it in the ocean.

Boy, is our offense terrible. I don't even know what you do. They've gotten some good looks and the ball just won't go in.

We need to feed the ball to Pardon down low! Love our defense! Very solid! Hope Law is ok! He tweaked his ankle!

The offensive game plan seems to be:

1) Dribble around for a while, maybe hand it off a few times 30 feet from the hoop.
2) Eventually go through the motions of running a high ball screen that the other team easily defends.
3) Take a terrible shot.

The starters vs reserves divergence was once again evident in this game... hopefully we can find a bit more balance in the second half. And fewer turnovers. And better shooting.

3a) Give the ball away with a sloppy turnover.

We need better ball possession! Seven turnovers by our starters!

Skelly is getting eaten alive in this zone. His spot is where they are going.

Skelly is too slow! I like Falzon better
