NU takes a lead into the second-half looking for its first back-to-back win sequence in the Big Ten.

Gotta defend the home court.

 

[azimmerman_1]

Where did this NU offense come from? 3-for-5 from the field to start the half including a 3 from Turner.

 

[EagerFan]

It looks like the same offense to me, but now with more buckets.

 

[Titanium999]

Falzon and Law are solid

 

[TheC]

Making shots is fun!

 

[EagerFan]

Hola Crap Falzon?

 

[Titanium999]

Hola Crap Falzon?

Six threes already! Thought I heard the screamer!

 

[Noah121]

11:45 left and it's 55-40. Downtown Evanston is aflame!

 

[SmellyCat]

How many times over the years has some scrub at the end of the rotation had a crazy career night against NU? It's nice to see a Wildcat do it for a change, although Falzon isn't even a rotation guy these days. Maybe he should be!

 

[Titanium999]

Close out the deal!

 

[Noah121]

My commercial just played!

 

[Noah121]

Hopefully these clanked free throws don't bite us.

 

[scru]

Over 3 mins now without a point scored. Not good. C'mon guys! Gotta step up.

 

[Deeringfish]

Falzon and Law are solid

Are you kidding Law has missed a ton of shots

 

[Deeringfish]

Pardon needs a new mouth guard. He can't breath. Takes the damn thing out every chance he gets.

 

[scru]

Now 4 mins. What the F?

 

[Deeringfish]

My commercial just played!

Which commercial?

 

[Noah121]

Which commercial?

The commercial with the basketball student sections.

Oof. 55-47 at the 8 minute timeout.

The commercial with the basketball student sections.

Oof. 55-47 at the 8 minute timeout.

I'll go back and look at it after the game.

 

[TheC]

Gulp... getting nervous. Need DP to sink these FTs.

 

[go cats go_rivals310290]

We've been stuck on 55 since the Taylor 3 with 12:11 to go. Need DP to knock down these free throws!

 

[Deeringfish]

Law needs to drive and pick up a foul

 

[JournCat]

I worry that CC is going to try to bank the lead here with an all-defense lineup and hope to run out the clock

 

[Noah121]

Cats need to calm down and use the clock more wisely.

56-50 with 6:45 left...

DANG! Another and one for IU.

 

[NUCat320]

Taylor made a bad defensive play then forced a three to make up for it. Ugh.

 

[Deeringfish]

This is terrible

 

[scru]

Run the damn offense, move off the ball, get an open look and make the shot. Jeez. Sometimes it is really hard to figure out what is going on with these guys. Total mental collapses?

 

[Hungry Jack]

Has Taylor hit a shot that really mattered?

 

[NUCat320]

DP DP DP DP DP DP

Feed the big dog.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

He didn't call that bank shot.

It shouldn't count.

 

[Noah121]

ROOOOOOOOF! Nice block by Falzon.

Missed Hoosiers alley oop and fastbreakf Cats free throws.

60 to 53, 6 minutes left.

 

[NUCat320]

This feels good. NU has been lockdown since that banked and-one.

 

[Noah121]

4:24 left, 62 to 56 after 2 IU FTM.

Just jacking up threes for the Cats... Way away from the goal.

Pardon the interruption!

 

[Deeringfish]

Law needs to quit shooting deep and drive

 

[Noah121]

Time out on the floor. Cats shooting two after the break.

64-58 with just under 3 minutes.

 

[fkfootball]

The officials in this game have to be Northwestern alums.

 

[Deeringfish]

Law needs to pick up fouls an get to the line.

 

[Noah121]

IU nails a triple to pull within 5.

Two empty possessions.

Cats get fouled on offensive glass! To the line, and made 1 to go up 6 with 100 ticks.

 

[NUCat320]

Law needs to pick up fouls an get to the line.

Excellent advice.
