Game thread for NU vs. Georgetown
- Thread starter lou v
- Start date
Cats are getting looks - they'll fall. They're also getting deflections and touches. Just stay on it and curb the fouling.
This is a rough watch. With the veteran team we have, we should not have an issue against a team of all new faces that is playing their third game together.
Roper has a little chemistry with Nicholson. That drive and dish was nice. Other guys haven't worked out how to do that yet.
The guards are terrible at anticipating. Nicholson was open on the roll last 4 plays
Size is bothering NU

Barnhizer's got a tough assignment tonight, but he's staying in front of his man. Very nice stroke from the corner. He's showing some tools.
Win or lose, nice to see them getting after it. Some dumb plays, but they move onto the next play instead of sulking
I think this team will be a lot better next year if they can find someone to handle the ball.
Overall, a very frustrating first half. Buie needs to stop forcing it (I don't know if he knows how to do it) and they need to feed it to Nicholson. So many sloppy possessions trying to do too much.
We're only down 3 and Boo hasn't had any points? Yeah, I'll take that.
I'm trying to get my head around all the times the 'Cats have deflected and dove for the ball, only for it to bounce to a Hoya for a breakaway. That should even out over the long haul, but it's annoying.
Man, I missed Julian Roper. He's so smooth out there.
Nicholson is definitely first half MVP. 9pts, 8reb, 2 blk, 1 ast, and only 1 TO and no PFs? Wow. Tremendous.

Wish NU could score on the three 50/50.
So tydus should come out and play his butt off so he doesn't lose time to Matt. If he doesn't that's a problem. Matt is getting better and showing it
Does Boo know what time the games starts

Also, Beran needs to work on finishing when he drives. He is being too hesitant and that's leading to blocks on almost all of his attempts.
Their guy Akuk Akuk presents a matchup problem. Beran has to step up and guard him. So far he seems a bit intimidated.
It was a wild first half. Both sides playing aggressive defense.
Nicholson is getting position on the offensive boards whenever we give him the time to get there.

I told the guy I am watching with this with that Verhooven getting the 2nd foul will be a good thing as Big Matt will be forced into more min. If he continues this he should start by B1G play if not sooner.
Beran has played the opposite of intimidated imo. Night and day compared to last year. Aggressive offensively even tho he his missing shots. Solid as ever definitely.
