Northwestern-UCLA Game Thread

- Start date
Bruins haven't lost at home yet this season. They will try to make us shoot a lot of 3s, but if we can get to the rim they've really struggled stopping those shots. Somehow they are even worse at defensive rebounding than us, so hopefully we can make some hay out of our missed shots as well.
Tough game on the road. Really like the classic purple unis with white trim, not a fan of the Gothic black ones. Playing well so far. Go Cats!
Won't have to worry about that for the rest of the half. 0 Reid-West minutes tonight...
3s from Tre, Clayton and Green in the same half? Didn't know that was allowed.
We just have to hope we can retain these young guys and wait couple years for us to be a veteran team.
UCLA was 6-9 from 3 point land in the first half and hopefully they cool off in the second half. We hit two cold spells, being outscored 10-2 and 10-0, all too common for us. Martinelli seemed a bit off but still managed 10 pts in the first half. Even though we’re down ten, it feels like we’re not out of it yet.
We literally have 4-5 guys at almost all times outside of the circle. That would be fine if any of them could shoot.
Collins obviously calling time out and ignored by the ref. wtf
We had a mini-comeback to get it to 6, but then gave up a wide-open 3 and got screwed by Larry Scirotto not giving us a timeout.
Collins screaming timeout there, after not getting the timeout on the previous possession, and then staring down the ref was pretty great. The fact he didn’t get a T is 100% the ref realizing he screwed up.
Lol Collins just did it again yelling "timeout" with his hands in a T held high to make sure Larry could see it.
I’m pretty surprised he didn’t get a T for that one. There’s a line, even if it was a bad call, and that probably crossed it.
UCLA went cold but our offense couldn't take advantage of it. Also strange that our team this year treats the ball like it's covered in vaseline or something, never seen so much fumbling and mishandling. At least Nick got his 20 points, about 6 of them when the game was pretty much over.
At that point I don't think he cared. There isn't another Coach or team in the B1G that gets less respect from the zebras. Game in and game out we get the worst officiating possible.
I was at the game, halfway up the lower level behind our bench. When he screamed TIME OUT!! after not getting the TO previously, it was super loud. I was also surprised he didn’t get a T.
It’s crazy to me that UCLA is averaging only 5500 a game. And their student turnout is pathetic. They almost had more band members and cheerleaders of various types than normal students.

Criminal lack of support. The arena is amazing, it's on campus, and the weather is not an impediment.
Refs knew they blew the time out call so they had to take the sarcasm. Wish we had the time out instead.
There’s a lot to do around there. My daughter doesn’t live that far from there and take forever to get there in traffic. It did look dead on TV.
I think we had gone through a 10 minute (or more ) stretch without a FG broken by the 3 that got us back to within 6. Only some FT during that stretch. D kept us in
