Of course MSU would make a run, now it's time to score some damn points

We're doing fine with MN on the floor.

Great pass from MN when NU needed to stop a run.

Akins is the one guy you can't really leave

Full press didn’t work. I wonder if they’ll keep it up. D is doing a decent job of staying in front of guys, but open threes are available.

Cats hanging tough, going for third straight win vs MSU, Buie with double double.

Five possible points missed at the line by cats

Gotta give Talpr Battle some credit. He was very active tonight.

Brain fart at the clock table.

Double-digit lead for the last 21:19 of the game against ANY Big Ten foe is remarkable. MSU never got it to single digits in the second half.

And MSU has been playing tough. Just not able to close the gap

Tyson Walker was the only reason we didn’t win by 25

You either live across the street or on Ashland or drive like a maniac.

Rick Pizzo at halftime: “Northwestern throttling Michigan State.”

Amazing.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

The stepped up today.

That was absolutely the best protection of a Iead have EVER SEEN by the Cats. And I've been watching for a long, long time!

I agree. I always feel like a 13-point lead is safe, but an 11-point lead is not. Occasionally MSU got it down to 11, but never less than that, and for most of the second half NU has leads around 13-15 points. Fortunately MSU's 8-0 run came when NU led by 19. They never really had any other runs (other than a few 5-0 ones I guess) in the second half, because NU was always able to respond.

MSU fans tried to get loud a few times. NU mostly shut them up with buckets.

Why can't it be both?
