Second-half thread for Northwestern vs. Nebraska

[lou v]

Well, it was the Pardon & Brown Show in the first half for NU. Those two combined for 18 of the Wildcats' 32 points. They combined to score 12 straight NU points during one stretch. Pardon is working on a monster line: 9 points, 13 rebounds and a block at the half. The Big Three of BMac, Lindsey and Law combined for just 12 points.

Webster is the guy the Cats have to focus on stopping in the second half: he has 11 points and has been able to get to the rim repeatedly. He missed a few, too.

NU uncharacteristically has more turnovers (7) than assists (6).

Very fortunate to have Pardon tonight. We need to make some zhots.

TV timeout with six point lead. Will Cats go on a run or let Huskers bounce back ...... again.

Dererk Pardon is a MAN tonight: 13 points and 14 rebounds...and we still have 15:18 to go.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Pardon is hot!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Put Ash on Watson

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Webster is quick

 

[GOUNUII]

Put Ash on Watson

Lindsey in a fog all night. Showing his frustration too.

 

[bjm989_rivals]

Not a great game for Lindsey thus far. He needs some kind of play or series of plays to "snap into it". Get his head back together.

Anybody else notice the curb stomping Michigan is putting on Indiana? 32-16 in first half. Ouch!

 

[bjm989_rivals]

There he goes. Take a shot! Get into it!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Ash is our best defender. We need him in there

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Got to win this one! We need to contain Webster! He is a stud

 

[TheC]

Offensive execution is not sharp at all. Nebraska is playing very hard on defense. Yet, in what is a great sign, we are still winning at the moment. But long way to go.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Pardon is insane!

 

[Fitz51]

Dunks are fun.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

What a jam by Law!

 

[GOUNUII]

Miles is a hoot. Does slapping the floor get you a technical? That's one I would have let go.

 

[Pittcat89-90]

Per the stats I am looking at, Pardon has 17 points and 20 rebounds. Who was the last Cat to go 20 and 20?

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Cover Watson

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Come on Lindsay!

 

[TheC]

The fouling gets frustrating, but I think it comes with the hard nosed, in your face D that we play. Just need to keep pushing for four more minutes!

 

[bjm989_rivals]

Defense wins this game. Not a great offensive night overall but good D wins games!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Nice win!

 

[Deeringfish]

Nice win!

I think NU has really turned a corner.

 

[Kelly_32_rivals]

Pardon was a monster tonight. I was ready to throw up when he went down holding his ankle.

I thought McIntosh was really good. Nine points, nine assists, one turnover, two steals. Didn't shoot great but took a lot of tough shots late in the shot clock.

Law was really good on both ends.

Brown did a great job in the first half when our offense got stagnant.

 

[Ubermorgen]

Loved that CCC took Ash and Brown out of the game at the end. He doesn't tolerate not playing with intensity!

 

[catcrazy]

Is pardons ankle okay?

 

[Alan Smithee_rivals156293]

I think his ankle had eight boards and nine points tonight.

Fixed that for you

Absolutely, it is showing up the ref to everyone who can see. Plus he was 100 percent wrong that Pardon was out of bounds.

Pardon had gone out of bounds; While I'm unclear on the details of the rule, he was arguing that he hadnt fully re established himself in bounds.

And if you watch the replay, he could not have been more incorrect. Pardon was in bounds, and then jumped to catch the pass. Tim thought he was jumping from out of bounds, and no way did he see the play from where he was standing(horrible angle)

Thought he was injured when he was playing, and I was correct; he is battling back spasms according to Collins' postgame presser

He definitely had a foot in bounds before he jumped; I'm just not familiar enough with the rule to be certain that's enough.

It is. Tim was just surprised that Dererk jumped, and thought that it MUST have been because he was jumping from out of bounds. But we all know what happens when one assumes....
