First-half thread for Radford vs. NU

[lou v]

I'm not at the game tonight, but our writer, Victor Loza, is there on press row.

 

[mekCat]

But are you watching?

 

[mekCat]

Spencer looking very good, Nance with a 3

Looking ok, lots of freshman error going on. Boo still looks lost on both ends.

 

[lunker35]

Crowd size is brutal. There had to be like 300 people here.

 

[GatoLouco]

We’re lucky attacking a zone with long dudes is something a lot of teams struggle with

 

[LansingCat_rivals315357]

You've got to give boo and Bairin and Jones opportunities, but they're a little painful right now .

 

[TheC]

This is my fault. They haven't scored since I turned this game on several minutes ago.

 

[BosCat]

7min scoreless (13-0 run)

 

[LansingCat_rivals315357]

BTN+ went silent a few minutes ago

 

[TheC]

I'm thinking that if we don't score again in this game, then we're probably going to get beat pretty badly.

 

[LansingCat_rivals315357]

So if my math is right we just gave up a 13 to zero run and went 8 minutes without a score

You missed nothing.

Rad has gotten pretty aggressive and the refs seem mostly ok with it. They didn’t get away with pulling on Berans’s arm tho.

 

[DaCat]

Brutal offense. #FireMcCall

 

[TheC]

Northwestern simply doesn't have that one guy who says... F- it - give me the damn ball!

 

[GatoLouco]

Spencer was that guy for 4 minutes and was rewarded with a substitution

 

[mekCat]

Too many 3 attempts. Way too few makes

 

[TheC]

This is the most unskilled team.

Spencer does. That’s it.

 

[VirginiaWildcat]

It’s like watching the showtime Lakers all over again!

 

[lunker35]

This. Collins pulls him and it causes the catalyst for the run. His substitutions are the worst and make zero sense.

Looks like they’ve solved this defense, coach gonna have to adjust it a bit.

Exactly. I couldn’t believe he made all those moves when we were playing so well to start the game.

 

[GatoLouco]

Were we not long and we’d be going into the half down by 30. Redford figured out that splitting the zone tends to destroy it.

 

[VirginiaWildcat]

Any second now we’ll turn it on. lol

 

[VirginiaWildcat]

We’re the red team, right?

 

[TheC]

I just can't do this anymore. This is horrendous basketball. Its not even close to BigTen level hoops.

 

[Username Not Available]

Well this is embarrassing. 31-17 and they are just getting started from their attitudes. The Cats have to find another gear or we’ll be blown out.

 

[BosCat]

We went up 12-4 w/16:04 left
27-5 run by Rad in last 16:04

 

[lunker35]

I just can't do this anymore. This is horrendous basketball. Its not even close to BigTen level hoops.

Why do I come to see this **** over and over again? My 5 year old son is smart and rooting for Radford because he likes red. There is no fight tonight in our team.

 

[mekCat]

Boo cannot shoot. There is no offense to run, so let's just host them up

 

[TheC]

We scored 5 ******* points in the last 16 minutes of the half. That is historically bad.

 

[GatoLouco]

We’re the red team, right?

Everyone complaining about the Cats. I’m with you, we played decently. Just don’t understand the choice of wearing red

 

[chicagocatfan24]

Only watching live stats but Collins should be fired at halftime for this

 

[LansingCat_rivals315357]

Yes, this looks like one of those low floor days .

 

[jensberg]

There is no one on this team that can create his own shot. No one can slash to the basket none of the wing players have any dribbling capability. On top of that like many a recent team is a, no one can shoot the ball... One for their last 18 shots.

 

[NUCat320]

Boys must’ve read all their press clippings after that Providence game.

 

[lunker35]

The low point was the drive where Radford had 3 offensive rebounds and each time we had 4 guys to their one. Pathetic effort. It’s not a lack of skill. It’s drive or just awareness. Radford wants this and is playing like they want to be here.

 

[DaCat]

WTF. Collins needs to do his job. The offense just blows.
