Game Thread for NU vs. Penn State

[lou v]

We've got the rare early Friday night tipoff (6 pm CT) for NU vs. Penn State. We'll see if the Cats can exact some revenge for that AWFUL loss to the Lions back in early January at Welsh-Ryan and stay in the hunt for...a first-day bye at the Big Ten Tournament.

 

[Jonny2TheP]

Win this one and a first round bye in the conference tourney is well within reach. Let’s go boys!

 

[SDakaGordie]

Chase Awgeez…

 

[jensberg]

If Chase only played defense we could probably win this game if he shoots were toast

Looking good! Go Cats!

Cats are missing good shot after good shot.

Cats are missing good shot after good shot.

Story of the season, really.

 

[Jonny2TheP]

Audige, per your usual, needs to be way more selective with his shot selection. Doing a nice job on defense though.

 

[12375CAT]

Cats > Lions @ the 1/2.

 

[drewjin]

Loved the line-up from 4:30 to 1:30 mark. Wish we would have stayed with it. Would love to see it again in the second half.

 

[Arlcatsfan]

NU played good defense this first half.Have to keep it up and keep moving the ball on offense and get shots within the offense.No hot dogging.

 

[SDakaGordie]

Please, please get Beran out of the game.

 

[mekCat]

They made some nice adjustments at halftime. We did not

 

[MCC_Cat]

Thank God Beran's out, he's awwwwfullll today. What's up with all the dumb fouls too? Geez, at least get your money's worth!

 

[TheC]

Wish my confidence level was greater than 5%

 

[TheC]

Uggh… the dreaded lazy zone where our guys still have no idea how to cover

 

[SDakaGordie]

It was working unusually well for a while. Then we came back to the sad reality that we can’t find guys.

 

[TheC]

We don’t have that guy

 

[jensberg]

They are 4 of 5 from 3, we r 1 of 5 2nd half so far.

 

[BarefootCat]

Beran is lost on defense. Why is he playing?

 

[TheC]

Game over. A Chris Collins production.

 

[12375CAT]

Cats can still W this thing. C'mon Cats!

 

[SDakaGordie]

I agree that Collins messed this up by putting Beran back in. Believe it or not.

 

[MCC_Cat]

WTF Beran back in idiot coaching. Notice the ball movement, drive and dish PSU is using against our zone. Take notes Chris, it's not that hard.

 

[TheC]

They are 4 of 5 from 3, we r 1 of 5 2nd half so far.

Because their shots involve a guy who is set and wide open. Ours are off balance while on the move.

 

[GatoLouco]

Young was, without a doubt, our best player in the 2nd half, if not the game. And has to sit on the bench because somehow putting him in means taking Nance out in CC’s mind. So Beran is out there looking lost as hell.

 

[Arlcatsfan]

Hate to say it we falter down the stretch again.Beran is such a disappointment, and Audige is lucky he is hitting the backboard.

 

[TheC]

I laugh to keep from crying. We don’t have BIG level players.

 

[GatoLouco]

I also want whatever Harrar takes. Dude plays as hard as I’ve ever seen anyone play.

 

[bu77]

I know you guys are upset but I need to ask a stupid question What color are those uniforms and why do they look black and gold?

 

[BarefootCat]

We have BIG level players, but sadly, we also have Central Suburban League coaching.

We’re incognito. That’s not us out there…

 

[BarefootCat]

Are Robbie Beran and Hunter Johnson roommates?

 

[jne381]

Sigh.

 

[GatoLouco]

Anyone questioning if our players are more capable than in the past just see us pressing and giving them a scare. We did it several times this year. I don’t remember us ever having the athleticism to do it.

 

[TheC]

Our leadership should be embarrassed at how bad this program is. No excuse to be this bad every goddamn year.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Lol

Tell me about it when it makes a damn difference. Good athletes who can’t shoot or understand the game don’t excite me.

 

[wildcatpn]

Lol

The coaching is atrocious.

 

[MCC_Cat]

When announcers said, "Ryan Young sits down but he'll be back, he's the one keeping Northwestern in the game" I though, you're wrong, he'll never see the floor again. And sure enough, he didn't! Thanks CCC!
