First-half thread for NU vs. Purdue

[lou v]

Well, we know we're going to Nashville for the Music City Bowl. Now, let's play some hoop.

It will be interesting to see how NU comes out for this one after a very long and emotional win in overtime on Friday night. Law, BMac, Pardon and Lindsey all logged more than 35 minutes in a game that ended at shortly before 11 p.m. on Friday night.

We can win! Got to knock down those threes! We are getting good looks!

Good start. Purdue playing with a little less on ball pressure than some of our other opponents. Hope that continues.

Of course if we can’t hit our open looks, it doesn’t matter. Shooting just hasn’t been there this year except for the Creighton game.

Purdue has an amazing ability in landing recruits that are about 8 feet tall.

Just nasty defense! Get Ash in there!

They r getting open looks on offense! Get Ash in there or we lose!

NU's offense is stagnant. They're just not getting anything going to the rim with Purdue's towers inside. Purdue went on a 12-0 run while NU missed six straight shots before Lindsey's 3.

What was that?

 

[Jonny2TheP]

Glad we went back to man to man. It was wide open 3 after wide open 3 in that zone.

Skelly is too slow! Cost us seven points! We need 30 minutes from Ash! Or we are doomed! Can’t give em open looks

Falzon ain’t working

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Brown looks great

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

We need the speed of Brown

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

We are playing pretty well! Just need to knock down a few threes and play a bit better on defense! I like our energy!

 

[Jonny2TheP]

Big 90 seconds here. Let’s not let them open this back up. They can put up points quickly.

I like our energy! Skelly looked good again! Maybe have Skelly take some of Benson’s minutes! These big ten teams have great athletes! We need guys with Brown and Ash to combat their team speed! I like our team so far! We just need Scottie and Law to show up in the second half
