You know, NU turned in a half like that against DePaul. It's just DePaul, we thought. But tonight. Wow.

The Cats have FIVE guys with at least 5 points, led by Lindsey, Lumpkin and Taphorn with 8 apiece. Dayton's Charles Cooke, who averages 20 ppg, has ONE at the half. Dayton is 4-for-28 from the floor, and it ain't because they're off tonight -- NU is playing ferocious defense.

I will be satisfied if we coast and win by 10.:)

Why exhaust yourself and not play the second string. The Second string are BB players too.

You know Dayton will make a run at NU. Let's see how well we weather the storm.

Dayton is getting hot from 3. After watching the DePaul and Chicago State games, I gotta admit I'm getting a little nervous. Though I usually feel like that, regardless.

2 horrible fouls calls on Skelly. Clean block and a very questionable moving screen

Dayton is expending a ton of energy here. If we can keep up the D and rebounding and keep a 14+ point lead, they will tire out and we'll stretch things back out.

Couple 3s in a row for Dayton. We need a bucket and then get back to playing D.

We're in the midst of the Dayton run. Uncontested threes. Best to just cut this off right now.

And there's a botched inbounds and a foul on a three. Ugh.

I think that was just McIntosh's 8th turnover. Not a good game for BMac, again

Lindsey is having a bit of a struggle. He needs to get untracked.

We still can't break the press. How about trying a different press break?

NU's offense is completely out of synch. Scoochie is giving BMac fits and everyone else is standing around.

I don't understand why we can't make an adjustment to their defense. We are playing so passive.

We simply can't finish at the rim in the second half. Dunk the daggum ball, Law! You've got the hops.

Oh, man. This would be one for the NU ages. And we have a lot in that bucket.

Frickin spineless refs! Letting Dayton fans influence them.
