Minnesota vs. Northwestern game thread

[SmellyCat]

Barnhizer 16 points, but he somehow has no rebounds. Not that I'm complaining. Hard to get rebounds when neither team is missing.

Let’s put this away so I can unclench my butt.

Garcia is legit

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Preston got mugged

Hunger needs to be planted on the bench, he's bringing absolutely nothing right now

His D is...not as good as Nicholson's.

Quite good

A real liability on defense in particular.

 

[SmellyCat]

I'm not sure who my favorite non-NU Big Ten player is, but it might just be Elijah Hawkins. I find him impossible to hate.

Understatement!

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Go clock go

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Can we force a couple more shots pls.... ARGH

 

[GatoLouco]

We can’t find offense and we are way too stagnant. No motion. Thankfully MN also went cold

Wouldn’t it be great if Preston made these two free throws? Go Preston!

 

[PURPLECAT88]

Been a while since anyone scored.

Boo gets clobbered shooting a 3, no call. Preston gets brushed a bit at the rim, sure, we'll call that one.

Would love to see him in double figures in his last home game.

Agree. Looking very different from first half where ball was moving around much better. They gotta start that again and not just “slow it down”, if that means holding the ball too much and not getting good shots.

Feeling a bit better now

I'm feeling great. Butt is unclenched. Now I just want to make sure Boo and the other seniors get a big ovation when they come out.

 

[GatoLouco]

Guys I think we are going to cover the spread

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Legendary career.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

So cool. WE ARE IN

I guess that 12 and 8 prediction after the Illinois game I made does not look bad now.

Anything is possible

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Soak it up guys we might not see a run like this again for a couple of years.

 

[SmellyCat]

I'm smiling so much right now my face hurts.

 

[catcrazy]

Too bad for the injuries because with Ty and Nicholson this team would have won 14 games in the big ten and is a sweet 16 team

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

I just feel relief

 

[DaCat]

A great win by the Cats!

 

[catcrazy]

By the way we had one turnover the entire game and it occurred late in the second half. That is incredible

Anything can happen once you make the dance... but that still stings

Maybe is anyway.

From what I can tell, the last time we scored 90 points in a conference game that didn't go to OT was Feb 27 2016 against Rutgers when we scored 98.
