NU-VT second half/overtime thread

[Straus2018]

The Wildcats have led for all but 18 seconds, and start the second half up 45-36. Northwestern is shooting 57 percent from the field to Virginia Tech's 36 percent, but the Hokies have ten offensive rebounds that have helped keep things close.

 

[Straus2018]

Scottie Lindsey picks up his third foul three minutes into the half. Lead cut to 45-41 after a Hokie three

 

[Ubermorgen]

Scoring always seems to be an issue coming out of the half. 14 minutes and VT almost in the bonus.

 

[VirginiaWildcat]

Foul, foul, foul... taking it out of the players hands again...

 

[VirginiaWildcat]

Olah is an offensive nightmare tonight. And people wonder why we don't feed him...

 

[DaCat]

Cardiac Cats in basketball too. Can't put VT away.

 

[Ubermorgen]

OT

 

[TejasCat]

Surprised Tap was in there on defense at the end of regulation, and I would have put Joey back in for pick and roll with Demps on last play.

 

[Deeringfish]

Isthmus on the radio anywhere?

 

[Ubermorgen]

Lid's on the bucket for the Cats.

 

[Straus2018]

NU's missed opportunities in the final minute and a half of regulation: (Demps missed floater, missed BMac layup, missed Olah FT, missed McIntosh FT, missed uncontested three from Taphorn)

Lucky tonight, but good win anyway!

 

[Ubermorgen]

McIntosh limping at the end.

 

[mekCat]

Lumpkin was excellent tonight. Check his Stat line, in cling a big 3 in OT as the game was slipping away from us. Plus his D at the end.

 

[TejasCat]

Whew, some awful possessions towards end of game, but BMac with huge layup!

 

[VirginiaWildcat]

That layup by BMac was unbelievable. But Sanjay's three is what saved us tonight. Down by four points, no momentum...of all people, Lumpkin rattles in a three to keep us in it.

 

[Ubermorgen]

Agree. Lumpkin had a great game!

 

[VirginiaWildcat]

Agree. Pumpkin had a great game!

I hope that's a typo. Pumpkin is not a good nickname...lol...which means it'll probably stick.

 

[Ubermorgen]

Fricken auto correct. Gotta find the edit. Don't want that to stick!

 

[Gladeskat]

Lumpkin is THE MAN tonight! Great scoring and great defense in the last possession! The "glue guy" gummed up the Hokies!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

McIntosh re hurt his ankle a bit on last play. Hope he is ok. Nice win

 

[spartcat]

We had the skills, but they had the quickness. Good contest. Good win.

+1. If Sanjay's 3 does not go in there, I believe we lose by 10 (or more) in OT....
