Coming out of the locker room, the Wildcats hold a 32-26 lead that could have been much larger. Nearly half (12) of Minnesota's points have come off of 10 Northwestern turnovers

Very nice to him taking most 3 point shots. Looks like Lumpkin is glued to bench. Has Demps hit an outside shot?
Just hit his first one, a touch turnaround shot from the baseline at the end of the shot clock, has to early runners as well
Defense and rebounding, presumably. 'Cats have a a 24-14 rebounding edge (JVZ and Lumpkin lead the team with 4 apiece) Also Pardon has struggled big time today, he hasn't attempted a shot and has zero boards
I haven't argued with a single one of Demps' shot attempts today. He'll never be an assist leader, but I like his decisions today!
The Wildcats look good in this game against Minny on the Gophers home court. I like how they extended their lead in the 2nd half. Fallon was on fire in this game. They just need to keep playing like this.
Well he looks a bit skinny but in a 20 point plus blowout, isn't this the time to see a little more of him.
The Cats are leading a B1G opponent by 25. We don't say that very often.
Very impressive performance by NU today. Yes, it's Minnesota, but I love the response after two straight demoralizing home losses in which they couldn't hit water if they fell off a pier.
Especially with Minny desperate for a win and knowing we had lost two in a row. These are the types of games that have ended poorly for us in the past....
I was at the game, and this is a good NU team (certainly the best NU team I've ever seen). Not quite top 10 yet, but not far from it.
Ash played 8 minutes 7 more then Charli Hall and mostly in garbage time. Demps played 38 and Mac 32 in a 25 point blowout. These two guys will not last to the end of the season playing all of these minutes. If you don't trust Ash, then use Lindsey, almost exclusively at the 2 and also give Tap time there. That lost schlorship is really hurting the Wildcats depth, especially with Law out for the season.
Ash played in the middle of the first half and the second half. He did not play "mostly" in garbage time. He gave BMac valuable minutes in the bench and will continue to do so. You can keep trying to bring up a player not on the team, but know that you are clueless, wrong, and annoying.
Ignore Willy. None of us know how fit Jordan is after recovering from his staph infection. Maybe 8 minutes is all the docs said he could play. Whatever.
Coillins said on the WGN post game show that McIntosh looked gassed the last ten minutes against Ohio State and said that was on him. I believe Ash will be used more strategically going forward. Lindsay spelled Demps a couple of times, didn't he?
