Official second-half thread for NU-Wake

[lou v]

What a half for Gavin Skelly -- 7 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and unquantifiable energy.

NU needs Lindsey and Law to stay out of foul trouble and McIntosh to find his stroke again -- he was 2-8 in the first half. It would also be nice to get Collins to pick up his third foul early for Wake. I'd go right at him to start the half.

I told you I was right about Jordan ash

 

[xxxbobxxx]

Uh oh, Mac hurt?

 

[xxxbobxxx]

These open misses are hard to watch. Need to work it inside.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

We need more presence underneath the basket

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

We just missed three open threes in a row by our best shooters

 

[benoitdenizetl]

Head-scratcher why is Ash first off bench in first half? Where is Brown? Other than our delusional poster, everyone knows Ash shouldn't be first off bench. Also, our body language is really bad tonight.

 

[lou v]

That Collins is impressive. He is so fast for a big man and has an array of spin moves. He can handle it too.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Collins is a one-man Wrecking Crew

 

[Hungry Jack]

Ugh. Just seems like one of those nights where we cannot buy a basket.

BMac looks lost.

I told you I was right about Jordan ash

The only thing about that is he is taking Brown's minutes. Brown went 0-4 with a turnover early and I think he's in Collins' doghouse right now. But Ash has yet to score in 10 minutes and is 0-2 with a steal.

 

[benoitdenizetl]

Anyone there know where Brown is? Or why our body language is so bad? With Pardon having 4 fouls, it's not looking good since we can't rebound today even with him.

 

[Hungry Jack]

We suck at drawing fouls

 

[JournCat]

With our current 3-point shooting, Skelly and Lumpkin basically need to play career games the rest of the way ...

 

[HawkCat]

Ugh. Just seems like one of those nights where we cannot buy a basket.

BMac looks lost.

Yeah, the shooting is just brutal. And not just the threes. We have missed a ton of layups.

 

[Hungry Jack]

Yeah, the shooting is just brutal. And not just the threes. We have missed a ton of layups.

Yeah. The misses inside are hard to swallow. Draw the foul.

 

[JournCat]

He once was lost, but NOW HE'S FOUND!!!!

(Gus Johnson message board impression)

 

[HawkCat]

Yeah. The misses inside are hard to swallow. Draw the foul.

BMac wakes up!

 

[benoitdenizetl]

Someone spiked BMac''s Gatorade! Hope he keeps this up.

 

[DaCat]

Hopefully Mac is back after that nice little run.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Nice play by Brian M! Ash has solidified himself as first guard off the bench. Ash has caused four turnovers. I'm friends with his mom

 

[Hungry Jack]

Rushing shots

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Law is ice cold

 

[Hungry Jack]

Is there some weird gravitational disturbance when we shoot?

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

We have missed 11 straight 3-point shots

 

[Hungry Jack]

Oh boy Collins out

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Wow Collins is hurt

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Ash in for Law! Jordan caused a turnover over again

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Ash is our best defensive player and he passes the ball real well

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

We need to put that ball in the paint now as Collins is hurt

 

[benoitdenizetl]

Ash in again. I hate to harp on this, but, Lou, can you look down at the bench and see if Brown looks alive? I get that he struggled early but that doesn't mean you bring in Ash this early.

 

[DaCat]

Is there some weird gravitational disturbance when we shoot?

We need to replace the rims.

 

[Alvious]

I can't watch, too nerve-racking. Go 'Cats!

 

[DaCat]

McIntoshhhhhhhhh

 

[JournCat]

This is a game we need to win.

 

[WoodersonCat]

That Collins is impressive. He is so fast for a big man and has an array of spin moves. He can handle it too.

Wait till you see Miles Bridges' spin move.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

We need Ash in there! He caused five turnovers so far. Lets go Cats

 

[lou v]

Tie game with 4:45 left. We'll see if they can close it out tonight.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Law is ice cold and slow on defense.

 

[lou v]

Wait till you see Miles Bridges' spin move.

Yeah, but Bridges is 6-6. This guy is 6-10.
