Game thread for No. 2 UCLA vs. No. 7 Northwestern

[bjm989_rivals]

The put campbell on berry and he is not worried.

That was a charge

Complete BS. Gotta support the blue bloods. Barnhizer was there for a day.

 

[GatoLouco]

We look a bit worn out. Several possessions with little movement off the ball. Timeouts will hopefully be our friend.

 

[NUCat320]

Let’s not go nuts

If Berry’s not doing his one thing, Martinelli is his equivalent or better at the others. And he’ll pass up the shot. (Beran’s not getting in anymore.)

 

[TheC]

How much more set can Barnhizer be?

In the circle

 

[Jonny2TheP]

I’m so proud of this team. No matter what. Fighters.

 

[NU Houston]

In the circle

Yep

 

[bjm989_rivals]

In the circle

I wanted to go back and look during the commercial, but just decided to stew about it.

 

[NUCat320]

In the circle

I thought maybe. Didn’t see for sure.

 

[GatoLouco]

I did not see any replays and assumed he was in the circle

 

[zeek55]

I’m so proud of this team. No matter what. Fighters.

Agreed; 100% heart this 2nd half.

My wife also came in and said stop yelling.

 

[NUCat320]

3 minutes to consider moral victories. LETS WIN THIS THING

 

[ballerog711]

I would subMartenelli for Berry.

 

[zeek55]

Block turning into 3 the other way, that's tough.

 

[TheC]

Can’t keep losing that guy

 

[bjm989_rivals]

Not over yet but that late back and forth hurt a bit. Blocked at the rim and a three. Not over!

 

[NUCat320]

Block turning into 3 the other way, that's tough.

Great UCLA d. Barney was spotted but he’s not making his shot today either.

 

[lunker35]

**** these refs.

 

[bjm989_rivals]

Cmon Cats!!!

 

[GatoLouco]

If Berry’s not doing his one thing, Martinelli is his equivalent or better at the others. And he’ll pass up the shot. (Beran’s not getting in anymore.)

I think that should have happened earlier. This late, no. Would be putting a freshman in when he has not played at all in this half.

Overall, very well coached 2nd half IMO

 

[bjm989_rivals]

I’m fine with BB taking that shot.

 

[NUCat320]

Gosh I love this team

 

[TheC]

Just a play short.

 

[Hungry Jack]

Barney’s singular focus in the paint is a liability.

 

[bjm989_rivals]

Double Campbell and don’t let him catch the inbound

 

[Fanaticat98]

They gave us chances. They miss 2 free throws and we can’t make a shot to tie it up.

 

[bjm989_rivals]

Barney’s singular focus in the paint is a liability.

He was 4 ft from the basket there. I’m okay with the shot.

 

[NU Houston]

I’m fine with BB taking that shot.

Nah, he should have passed it back out to Boo or Chase.

 

[ballerog711]

Martenelli has a knack for getting a cheap basket on offense.

 

[The Purple Knight]

Just a bit short.

 

[zeek55]

Nah, he should have passed it back out to Boo or Chase.

Yeah resetting the offense would've been nice at least. But he got the rebound and got close enough.

 

[Username Not Available]

Victory is possible, but we need ookla to mess up some

 

[NUCat320]

Barney’s singular focus in the paint is a liability.

When he’s off, he loses his shot everywhere… against PSU he was hitting that one, along with his threes.

 

[ballerog711]

Has nothing to do with freshmen, etc...

 

[bjm989_rivals]

Nah, he should have passed it back out to Boo or Chase.

I’ll watch the replay. I was just fine in real time.

 

[Cheech210]

These refs have been hot garbage. Missed the foul call on audige and then UCLA drills a three while he’s down. 5 point swing there

 

[NUera]

I’m so proud of this team. No matter what. Fighters.

With respect to the team that one that title way way back, this is the greatest NU team ever. Let’s pass the NIL hat and run it back!

 

[Fanaticat98]

That wasn’t actually a foul, they should take it back.

 

[bjm989_rivals]

Hate to see such a bad injury there. My ankles were bad and that turn was really bad. But it wasn’t a foul.

 

[NU Houston]

I thought the guy twisted his ankle and fell down prior to the foul. Refs were too quick to call it.
