BOO BUCKETS

 

[Alaskawildkat]

A win means 2nd place in Big Ten, right ?!!

 

[bjm989_rivals]

OMG Boo!!!

 

[GatoLouco]

Why is Martinelli in the game?

Because Beran is (insert whatever is appropriate for you)

 

[NUCat320]

NU’s now got four players in double figures. Well-balanced offensive juggernaut.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Terrible FT miss

 

[bjm989_rivals]

Terrible FT miss

Should have taken it to 16 pt lead

 

[freewillie07]

It’s bad how poor of a FT shooter Berry is.

 

[KelloggFireman]

As poorly as he’s played tonight: That last 3, which got a port-shooting Boo into double-figures, just earned him 1st team All-B1G. (Partly by default, due to Maryland’s loss today. How do you sideline the best player on the league’s 2nd-best team?!

(45-52 so far , coming into tonight.)

86.5% not enough for you?

 

[bjm989_rivals]

Berry could have taken the press break and gone to a 2-1 fast break. But gets fouled and goes 1-2. Think I’d rather he pressed it.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

My God, Berry shoots all three 1 and 1s and gets one point out of it.

 

[KelloggFireman]

Poor-shooting, not port-shooting. Boo is still a righty!!!

Sometimes you gotta make the pressing team pay, not just survive it.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Hanging onto the double digit lead with minutes to go?

Plane still on tarmac so maybe can share in the celebration,

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Just make your GD free throws

Will break 60. It's like seeing Godzilla plowing through a city.

 

[NUCat320]

I see you GL.

 

[NU Houston]

Make your free throws, Berry! Geez.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Will break 60. It's like seeing Godzilla plowing through a city.

What, ugly, destructive, physical, clumsy, and comes at the cost of thousands of lives?

 

[SmellyCat]

So the Rutgers fans are giving up. Will the Rutgers players do so as well?

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Godzilla karma!

Will be in Tokyo this week - nice analogy,

 

[AdamOnFirst]

FINISH THEM

 

[Titanium999]

Solid free throws down the stretch by Chase!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Ok, what the ****

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Score and time left?

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Not exactly sure why Rutgers gave up quite so quick but I’ll take it

 

[bjm989_rivals]

Score and time left?

Cats up 62-51 with 54 secs.

 

[GatoLouco]

What, ugly, destructive, physical, clumsy, and comes at the cost of thousands of lives?

Those movies are PG-13. So if no one sees the lives lost, do they really happen?

 

[freewillie07]

My God, Berry shoots all three 1 and 1s and gets one point out of it.

Like I said. Worst 86% FT shooter I can remember.

But we just can’t make a FT… wtf.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

I do not yet feel good here

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

I do not yet feel good here

Missing free throws, leaving the door open. Then fouling THEM on the other end and stopping the clock.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Cats up 62-51 with 54 secs.

Thanks. Plane departing now so will expect Cats to make it,

Congrats for 2nd place in B10!

 

[SmellyCat]

I do not yet feel good here

Free throw shooting has kept it close.

 

[freewillie07]

I feel good now.

NUMBER 2 SEED HERE WE COME WOW

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Missing free throws, leaving the door open. Then fouling THEM on the other end and stopping the clock.

They really tried their *** off to give Rutgers a prayer

 

[NUCat320]

Brick after brick from Paul Miss-cahy.

“Let’s go cats?”
Fuhgeddaboudit.

 

[GatoLouco]

I hear you Cats fans in the stands. Acting all like you own NJ

 

[NUCat320]

I feel good now.

NUMBER 2 SEED HERE WE COME WOW

Lose, and you open Thursday morning.
Win, and you open primetime on Friday.

Go Cats Go.

What a win! What a season!
