Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Indiana

[bringbacktherantboard]

We're getting some open looks but they aren't falling.

 

[PURPLECAT88]

Boo needs to keep shooting, and I’m sure that’s what CCC is telling him.

 

[drewjin]

On D, we need to pack the paint!

 

[GatoLouco]

Buie really thought he could sneak a steal and a fast break basket on the backcourt. Almost got himself his 3rd

 

[NUinIowafan]

It seems as tho Buies shots are all
A bit off balance today. Seems very off- losing his balance several times Hoping he is able to get back his normal shooting soon!

 

[DaCat]

Buie is not off by much, just gotta get them to fall

 

[SmellyCat]

That dunk by Ware might have had the greatest downward velocity I’ve ever seen.

 

[drewjin]

Boo needs to keep shooting, and I’m sure that’s what CCC is telling him.

No!!! This is how we lost at Minny. When they double Boo, someone else is open.

 

[zbag51]

Kopp is there. Now we really need to win

 

[ThatadultfromHolland]

Who needs team rebounding when you Mart!

 

[SimpsonElmwood]

Left hand slam. Beautiful!

 

[IMC Cat]

Borg swishes. Mart offensive boards. Nicholson running dunks. These are a few of my favorite things.

 

[GatoLouco]

Would be neat to stay concentrated and in control through the rest of the game.

Galloway is a mystery. It feels like one of those sacred cows that does something decent and that automatically earns him another 10 minutes on the floor. Overrated

 

[DaCat]

Riding the Nicholson train back to a 10 point lead! Great sequence by the Cats, double doubles for Nicholson and Mart!

 

[NUinIowafan]

Kopp is there. Now we really need to win

Who was sitting next to Kopp? I recognized him but cant place

 

[cometclear]

Kopp is there. Now we really need to win

I've officially come around to the board's consensus on Kopp: screw him. Glad that he will witness NU beating IU in person. Barnhizer's three times the player he was.

 

[GatoLouco]

Who was sitting next to Kopp? I recognized him but cant place

Trayce Jackson-Davis?

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

They really need this win. Gotta close it out

 

[ballerog711]

MN and NM very impressive today

 

[NUinIowafan]

Trayce Jackson-Davis?

Yes i think thats him!

 

[PURPLECAT88]

Trayce Jackson-Davis?

Yup

 

[GatoLouco]

It’s pretty weird they carved out specific reviews like a hook and hold. And, if you blow a call in the last possession of a game, play on.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

I'm starting to like our chances.

 

[Hungry Jack]

This team has balls. I love how tough they are.

 

[PURPLECAT88]

No!!! This is how we lost at Minny. When they double Boo, someone else is open.

Yes!!

 

[ballerog711]

What a difference Lanborg makes. NM and Brooks look like different players with him in the floor for spacing.

MN is the anchor

 

[zbag51]

The win is most important. But if Boo could stop at 16 or 17 points, that’d be great. I’ll be at WR on Thursday

 

[GatoLouco]

This team has balls. I love how tough huge they are.

FIFY

 

[zbag51]

Come on cats, don’t let them back in it

 

[drewjin]

Yes!!

Only too happy to stand corrected. Hope it holds.

 

[SimpsonElmwood]

Laphanso Ellis didn't even go to IU and the guy is the biggest homer. He is overtly rooting for them.

 

[TheC]

Missing shots down the stretch again and getting screwed by the refs. Not a good recipe.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Good grief.

 

[TheC]

The fix is in. These refs are horrible.

 

[zbag51]

Not liking this momentum

 

[GatoLouco]

Laphanso Ellis didn't even go to IU and the guy is the biggest homer. He is overtly rooting for them.

I don’t think he necessarily likes IU but my man is unbearably influenced by the brand name and perhaps the building.

 

[zbag51]

Alright, time to put this one away! Let Go Cats!

 

[GatoLouco]

If I’m IU I am hack-a-Nicholson here

 

[zbag51]

I don’t think he necessarily likes IU but my man is unbearably influenced by the brand name and perhaps the building.

Definitely sounds like they are more pro-IU

 

[GatoLouco]

Definitely sounds like they are more pro-IU

He just praised the possession of IU on defense where they left Barnhizer with a wide open, as open as it gets, look.
