History is on NU’s side.

Cats go to East Lansing not having lost a B1G opener since before the world went through a pandemic.

MN get clubbed in the back posting up, foul is called. I understand a foul, yea for us.

MN should have walked thru the kid so the refs had to separate, show some roughness.

He is playing well.

Team is better when berry hits his shots, opens up space.

At the half, and I'm really impressed with how we bounced back from that Pitt loss. While I don't know if we can maintain the physicality (like, ouch Robbie's shoulder) - but we're getting deflections out there and making Sparty work.

Like hunger and Dixon for the final minute
Nicholson was tired and raised his arm so Collins would take him out.
Some coaches don't like that!

Good to see Roper back, playing with some swagger.

Beran has not officially taken a shot, but he does have 2 free throws...

Not sure why we are automatically doubling a couple of their bigs when they post up. Those guys aren't looking too dangerous. MSU has several baskets on drive and dish when our center leaves his man to challenge the guy with the ball.

Are we watching the same game? Two missed layups and a foul. Brutal.
He’s playing better than the other option at 5. Don’t let posters affect your opinion of him.

The post isn’t his game and he gets gassed easy leading to some bad plays. Overall though he’s a fine player for NU.

Ugh, that rebound of a missed FT has to go in. Those are the kind of buckets you need to steal to make this upset happen.

Gotta keep going to the rack and draw fouls.

My gosh, that drive from Roper. Just seeing him assert himself on offense like that just gives me hope for the season.

'Cats giving it everything they got right now. Tough to play defense when they're now calling it tight after letting it run all game.

I was getting mad that Collins was going to have Buie wait and go one on one and not start into the offense. We started the offense earlier and got a good shot. Great approach versus last year of running down the entire clock and then jacking a shot

The little trick was berry went and screened beran man, then beran went and screened for boo. Easy layup. Screen the screener
