Minnesota-Northwestern first half thread

[Straus2018]

The Wildcats travel to Williams Arena to take on the Gophers in what many consider a "must-win" game.

I do. Gotta beat the 0-3 Gophers.

15-11 Northwestern at the under-12 timeout. Falzon with nine points on three early threes, Demps with four points in the paint

Falzon and Mac seem to be on, and thankfully Demps has seeming changed up his game with more cuts and drives to the basket. Interesting lineups with skelly and pardon on the court with lindsey, mac and demps.

Having said that, this offense looks to be the offense of old with little off ball movement. Despite Falzon having a hot hand, I'm tired of watching anyone not named Mac stand around on the offensive court, sometimes for 5-10 seconds at a time...

So far, Minnesota is doing a pretty good impression of Northwestern v OSU, hitting 33% from field and 14% from 3.

27-18 NU at the under-four timeout. Falzon has 12 points on 4-6 shooting from deep. Gophers shooting 14 percent from deep, 33 percent from the field. Eight turnovers so far for Northwestern, seven for Minny

 

[Straus2018]

32-26 NU at the half. Northwestern has matched its season average with 10 turnovers, but holds a 19-11 edge in the rebounding department

Demps is much less of a ball hog today. Unfortunately we are determined to travel with the ball. Almost all of our turnovers have been unforced; without them we might be way ahead.

The comments were quite predictive on your part. 2 second-half turnovers equaled blowout.
