Northwestern (13-5, 4-3 Big Ten) hits the road to play at Nebraska (10-10, 3-6 Big Ten) at 6 p.m. on FS2. This marks the second of five games for the Wildcats as they make up for their COVID cancellations.

Already known for having a tight rotation this season, Northwestern will be without Julian Roper tonight, he has been ruled out with an ankle injury. Ty Berry has been designated probable, also with an ankle injury.

Chaseis sleep on both ends. Can't be the man with the early decision making. Hopefully he snaps out of it.

Berry is hot, find him

Nebraska had to have some of that good corn. They are hitting everything they throw up.

Baseline drive by Brooks was a dunk. Man up and throw it down.

Berry is obviously on 🔥

But shout out to my boy Matt for Copperfielding Derrick Walker.

Great first half esp the last 4min or so. Berry is on fire. Very impressive 1st half for the Cats to break it open and get a nice cushion. Go Cats!

Berry has had the best half as far as a complete game as any NU player this season.

I'd say NU as a whole played better in that half - especially the last seven or eight minutes - than in any game this year. Berry has been fantastic of course, but they tightened the defense down the stretch and the offense followed.

Very exciting half! I'm listening to WGN and it sounds like a game I wish I was at. Both teams are shooting at least 50%, how crazy is that?

Sounds like Nebby is trying to wear the Cats out for the second half grind.

Also sounds like Chase is pretty beat from the Wisky game.

Chase looks fine IMO, he’s just missed a few open looks. Nothing too unusual.

NU has played so much better than I thought we would this season. Very impressive. Please close out this game with the W. 5-3 at this point would already be 1.5 more wins than I expected in the B10 this season. Congratulations to these guys so far this season. I am very impressed by the overall toughness of the team and also the staff this season.

A few too many fouls for my liking, but building a 21-point lead is a good way to offset that.

If that full court blow by Euro step finish was tired Audige, I can't wait to see him with fresh legs.

I haven't enjoyed a game like this in a long time. Keep rolling, Cats. Berry with season high 21 at the half, and he still knocking them down for a career high.

He look tired after that Euro step?

It’s impossible to evaluate such things. But tiredness usually reveals itself towards the end of the half. He looked less active, less aggressive than usual. Who knows, he could be letting the game come to him. But that’s less aggressiveness than who he normally is. Again, it’s a guess influenced by the same sense seeing him against WI

Just listening to the radio, he's taken several short rests, which isn't standard Chase this year. And it's ok, he doesn't have to be on fire every game, Berry has him covered tonight and Boo's getting ready to draw fouls in bunches (I suspect).
