These media commercials are like a Kentucky Derby long. They rival the length of time between pitches in MLB

This is the most balanced NU has been all season. Seven have scored. Only Verhoeven hasn’t.

If NU can clean up getting to the 50/50 balls. Game would be easier.

Chase is pressing a little.

Team looks good, finger crossed they finish first half with a nice run.

Between the bank in shot and the lose balls going right to Boise, I think that NU is really controlling this game more than the score indicates. If we didn’t get super nervous on transitions and rush shots this would be a 14 point lead.

Does it seem like BSU is getting a lot of last second baskets which are quite “lucky” after good D by our crew?

Our passing has been sloppy - very sloppy. This is a team that we should be dominating now that both Chase & Berry are hitting 3s.

I agree. If we keep defending like this, they won't keep hitting difficult bail out shots. But tip your cap to them on a few difficult scores as the clock was winding down.

This is going well enough, nowCats have to keep scoring in the second half. I like the success inside. I’d like more defensive rebounds. Maybe after the game we can stat their second chance or more points.

I thought we played pretty well that half. Boise had a few last second “just get it off” shots that went in, but good defense for the most part and I love how we’re attacking the rim.

Will be interesting to see if Shaver comes back. Hope he’s okay, but that would be a big loss for them. Looks like he stirs the drink on offense.

Jay Wright should not be on TV. You are not supposed to look that good when retired

NU is dominating what looks like a dangerous team. Can they keep making shots and finish?
