NU-Missouri second half thread

[Straus2018]

The Wildcats were in total commanded for most of the first half, lead 38-24 at the start of the second.

Mizzou opens scoring the first 5 and CC calls a quick TO.

9 point game

Not in total command

 

[Straus2018]

That's an 18-7 run going back to the first half for Missouri, only seven points in the last nine minutes of game time for NU

 

[TheC]

Once we get tired we miss 3s and then there is no other offensive option.

 

[LansingCat_rivals315357]

Don't like our approach out of the timeout. Nothing going towards the rim. Three 3-point attempts. The ref is calling any little bump - drive the lane and shot two (or a bonus)

Lumpkin hits a three to get us back to double digeis 41 - 29

 

[LansingCat_rivals315357]

Lindsey tries the three form NBA range plus

 

[TejasCat]

We are letting a horrible Mizzou team back into this game. Get Skelly back in. Need some energy.

 

[LansingCat_rivals315357]

Mizzou is playing better right now - Tre finaly drives the lane, but misses the floater. At least someone is willing do do something other than set up for a long three. Need an energy injection - Skelly?

Clinging to an 8 point lead with 11:10 left in regulation

 

[LansingCat_rivals315357]

BMac sits with 4. 10:00 left Lindsey on the point

 

[LansingCat_rivals315357]

They call a foul with every drive - perhaps we should do some driving? Lead down to 6 at the 9:55 mark

 

[LansingCat_rivals315357]

Frustrating, but we retain the lead at between 6 and 9 points.

Skelly is getting schooled on D.

Tre, and JVZ are keeping us in the game

Lindsey sis have one awesome drive and dish to JVZ

Just can't seem to pull away

58 - 49 6:47 left . . .

 

[LansingCat_rivals315357]

Lead down to 5. We look a step slow . . .

5:00 left

 

[TejasCat]

UNC would be up by 30 on us with this effort.

 

[LansingCat_rivals315357]

BMac fouls out on a phantom call

Leading by 6 with Mizzou on the line.

4:26

 

[TejasCat]

I know Olah made one, but I am not a fan of him shooting 15 foot baseline jumpers

 

[TheC]

We still don't have Power5 athletes... or at least enough of them.

 

[LansingCat_rivals315357]

Down the stretch with the game on the line is not when we need Olah for three!

Clinging to a 4-point lead.

Tre just dribbles for 15 seconds, then when he passes someone throws up a prayer.

Who can settle this team and stop the Mizzou point guard? Ash?

I would send Ash out and tell him to stick to Billups like Glue!

 

[LansingCat_rivals315357]

2:38 5 point lead with the ball

 

[LansingCat_rivals315357]

4 points lead with the ball and one minute . . .

 

[LansingCat_rivals315357]

Frustrating, but a win

Senior Tre Demps saves the win

 

[TheC]

That was the last place team in the SEC that took us to the wire. We are going to struggle this year unless guys like LIndsey and Falzon grow up quickly.

Do you ever have anything positive to say? Must suck being so negative all the time.

During a game -- usually not. Nervous habit.

Understood. Thanks for being honest.
