Game Thread for NU vs. Purdue

[lou v]

There's gonna be a lot of Gold & Black in the building tonight, but the NU student sections are already full, more than 20 minutes before tip.

Can’t afford a Boo offensive foul in the first 15 seconds…

 

[NUCat320]

It’s unsurprising, but still frustrating that Beran won’t even consider putting the ball on the floor when being guarded in the corner by Edey.

 

[The Purple Knight]

Get Audige out of the damn game!

Put Greer in there! Too many turnovers

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Purdue couldn't be shooting worse, but neither could we.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Nice assist from Ryan to Ryan.

 

[SDakaGordie]

Nice assist from Ryan to Ryan.

He got beat badly on D shortly thereafter, but it was a great pass!

Speakers are out for the second time in 4 games in the upper deck. Nothing like building a $100M stadium and having stuff that consistently doesn’t work. Can’t hear the announcers at all from up here.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Robber Baron for three!

 

[The Purple Knight]

Why do you break up the lineup that’s got it going? Keep Nance and Audige on the bench.

He has no idea what he’s doing with his lineups.

 

[SDakaGordie]

Do you ever see other coaches just leaving guys in all game? They sub as well; the game is intense - guys need a rest once in a while. Leave in tired guys and you’ll see what happens. And just because you get hot does not mean you will stay that way.

 

[Titanium999]

Yank Williams! Killing us!

We’re doing a’right on defense. But offense is reminiscent of the IL game.

We feel pressure and we start rushing everything and getting into crazy offensive sequences. We end up settling down a bit, but after so much sloppiness

 

[SDakaGordie]

Buie is hurting us on both sides of the ball.

Agree! But Williams is doing nothing

Why do you break up the lineup that’s got it going? Keep Nance and Audige on the bench.Nance is playing well! Chase not so much

 

[SDakaGordie]

And he was removed after two mistakes.

 

[NUCat320]

First half stats incredibly even.

Both teams have 11 field goals, Purdue 2-9 from deep and NU 4-12. Both teams with four offensive boards, 8 TOs for Purdue and 7 for NU.

Difference is at the foul line — 8-8 for Purdue, 2-2 for NU. (6 fouls for NU, 5 for Purdue.)

Painter seems to be sticking in Edey whenever Nance is in for the Cats. I wouldn’t mind Nicholson in there against Edey.

 

[Arlcatsfan]

Only down by 4 at the half so we are still in touch.Have to settle down on offense.Buie and Audige have not scored a point yet.Lets see if we can get a marquee win tonight.

Game day is so broken here. Half the speakers are off today for some reason.

Agreed. Nicholson needs some minutes.

We can win this, but realistically it's going to take someone getting hot from 3. Wish we could unleash those three-straight 3s that Boo made in West Lafayette when the game was out of reach.

No idea why they can’t have rebound stats. I thought NU had an electrical engineering major. Where is the lite brute scoreboard when we need it

 

[Zootcat]

Boy oh boy. Audige…..

 

[freewillie07]

Audige probably cost us the game right there. Unacceptable play.

 

[freewillie07]

Meanwhile Ju Roper is a damn good defender. Wow.

Unfortunately we came away with exactly 0 points off those steals.

 

[jensberg]

If we could just shoot LOL

 

[jensberg]

Nance can't make a shot this is several games now

 

[catfans5]

A guy just proposed on the video screen. She said yes!

 

[GatoLouco]

How many times have we failed to defend a cut when Williams has the ball?

 

[Hungry Jack]

A guy just proposed on the video screen. She said yes!

Surprised Chase didn’t foul him before he got the question off

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Starting to get away.

 

[freewillie07]

The shots are there for us. Just gotta hit them. Purdue is too good to miss for this long.

 

[catfans5]

Roper just missed a 3. This is 2nd time where one more pass and Beran had a wide open three in the last three minutesI mean he had no one with 10 to 12 feet near him. I do not know if Robbie would make it, but you make the extra pass when you can. Their last 3 was a blown assignment and Beran had to close out.

 

[catfans5]

A student just made a half court shot!

 

[NUCat320]

Me? I’m just impressed by that pizza box throwing contest that BTN showed coming back from a commercial.

 

[HawkCat]

Can’t shoot 35% and beat the No. 5 team. We are reasonably athletic but continue to shoot too poorly to win consistently.

 

[Arlcatsfan]

They hit their 3's we don't.Just can't make a shot or two to make it interesting.We get good looks but just draw iron.
