Game Thread: NU vs. Nebraska

[lou v]

My game analysis: Gotta win this one. Period.

 

[DaCat]

Let's do it!

 

[GatoLouco]

9 shots from 3 at the 5 min mark. A pace of 72 per 40 minutes! Good looks too

 

[DaCat]

Just got to make them

 

[mekCat]

Good advice

 

[DaCat]

Good advice

They listened!

 

[SDakaGordie]

I’d rather give up a 2 when somebody gets beat vs. having “help” defense get beat and give up a kick out 3. Needs to be better.

 

[DaCat]

Hope Berry broke out of his slump, hitting his first two attempts.

 

[DaCat]

Berry lost his man both times for the kick out three.

 

[mekCat]

I like this lineup

 

[ThatadultfromHolland]

Nobody in the same area code or even on the way for that 3 from Greer

 

[Arlcatsfan]

Greer,Berry carrying the Cats.Keep it up boys.

 

[DaCat]

I like this lineup

More ammo for @PurpleWhiteBoy except no Nance

Helps when you go against the opposing teams bench. Northwestern has good depth. Will make our bench +\- look good.

 

[mekCat]

Boo is going. So we look good

 

[Hungry Jack]

Huge lead again. Why I am scared?

 

[CatManTrue]

We’re not playing great, but Nebraska looks terrible so far.

We currently have a 21 point lead. Maybe we can hold on to it for just this once…

 

[catcrazy]

Is Simmons hurt? Have not seen him play last few games?

 

[SDakaGordie]

Nance is first on the short list of guys not playing great.

 

[mekCat]

Good ball movement by us

 

[SDakaGordie]

Nance is first on the short list of guys not playing great.

Add Ryan Young to this list.

 

[Hungry Jack]

Berry’s shot does not look right

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Buie is in top form today.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Nebraska made it look easy beating the zone on that play...

 

[SimpsonElmwood]

Wow.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Great, putting us on the line with 0.1 s left.

 

[SDakaGordie]

Nebraska made it look easy beating the zone on that play...

After 4 years, not sure why Nance doesn’t understand he needs to guard a guy in the lane.

 

[mekCat]

Berry’s shot does not look right

It looked great on his first three

 

[DaCat]

22 point lead at halftime. What will the final margin be, over or under 22?

 

[T_Levine]

Nance’s shot is still incredibly flat. From outside and from the line.

 

[Hungry Jack]

Tre Demps looks even more like Lenin today

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

22 point lead at halftime. What will the final margin be, over or under 22?

Under. NU will cool off, and it's a road game, so I expect the home team will have a run at some point.

I do hope and expect NU will win by double-digits, though.

 

[Arlcatsfan]

Good 1st half.If MN is healthy I want to see him get 10 mins.Rest Nance and Young not playing well get him in there.Just play good D and move the ball on offense and don’t let them back in the game.I can’t take the drama let’s have a laugher for once in league play.

 

[Hungry Jack]

I don’t think UNL can defend like RU, but the margin should close. We should score 80 today.

 

[BosCat]

Do you realize what it means if we win this game?

No 10-game losing streak this season!!!
(going into this one, could have lost last 9 conf games and BTT game)

 

[mekCat]

They will press us is the only sure thing for half two

 

[DaCat]

I don’t think UNL can defend like RU, but the margin should close. We should score 80 today.

No lead is safe for a Collins team.

 

[Alvious]

I feel confident that this will be a stress-free second half.

 

[Arlcatsfan]

Let’s not get into bad habits.Hustle and play heads up ball.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

I don't know about that foul on Young. He just looked like he was standing his ground. That looked like a "call a foul on the big guy" foul.
