Second-half thread for NU vs. Illinois

[lou v]

Well, it wasn't a pretty half -- a combined 26 fouls and 20 turnovers -- but these teams are getting after it.

NU is shooting 33.3 percent. Law and BMac are a combined 7-12; the rest of the team is 2-15. Lindsey finally hit a basket after 14 straight misses over the last two games, but at least he made 5-6 FTs. NU is getting to the line tonight: they shot 5 FTs total vs. Georgia Tech but had 14 in the first half tonight. NU also got eight points off the bench after getting 5 against GT.

NU's offense looked lost, but they found a groove at the end of the half.

By the way...Georgia Tech lost to Grambling tonight. Grambling. Yeesh.

We need Law the rest of the game! Pardon is non existent! What’s up with him? Try Benson!

Illinois is athletic! We need to play better defense and move the ball around on offense! Come on Vic Law! We need u

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Law is amazing! No more fouls!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Law is an NBA player

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Mac misses the three,gets burned on a layup, then turns the ball over! Yank em

 

[DaCat]

Officials missed a travel by Illinois

 

[Gladeskat]

Officials have missed a lot of traveling.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Illinois is a decent team!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Scottie looks much better today! We are playing decent also! Solid athletes on both teams!

 

[Gladeskat]

Fecal basketball continues.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Illinois has quick athletic guards and forwards

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

They are just running around us, time and time again! Get Ash in there!

 

[CommodoresAndCats]

Underwood got his make up call. Come on Collins, get in there and give the officials an ear full

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

What a joke! Their guard blows by us every single time! Get Ash on em or we are in trouble!

 

[catcrazy]

When are we going to play like men. This bs and dribbling 25 feet out bs is crap. Thus far coach Collins has coached like crap this year. We are perhaps the worst shooting team I’ve seen. Let’s exert our will against crooked underwood

No ball distribution! Skelly is too dam slow!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Our offensive guys stink at defense except for Law

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Mac turns it over! Same as last time! Nasty

 

[Windy City Cat Fan]

Our offensive guys stink at defense except for Law

Kind of stink at offense too

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Kind of stink at offense too

This isn’t basketball! I’m tired of Mac blowing it! Ruined the last game also! Collins is killing us! Where are the passes?

 

[WildcatfanChris17]

Mac turns it over again

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Mac another turnover again! Nasty

 

[Windy City Cat Fan]

Mac turns it over again

Not even close either - two straight passes right to Illinois

 

[WildcatfanChris17]

Another turnover

 

[Windy City Cat Fan]

Not even getting shots up - yuck

 

[Hungry Jack]

Terrible offensive sets

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Get brown or ash in there now

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

They will break our press! Get Brown or Ash in there! U need two guards

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Ridiculous! Mac turns it over three friggen times! No ball distribution

 

[Hungry Jack]

Brutal

Can Lathon dribble penetrate?

 

[WildcatfanChris17]

Another turnover, I feel like I'm typing that a lot lately.

 

[HawkCat]

Inexcusable. Turnovers on the last four possessions. We flat out suck.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Mac is overrated! He doesn’t pass the ball! We are not playing well right now! Lucky if we win this one!

 

[catcrazy]

We are really terrible this year. We need speed. Illini has some quicks and we do not

 

[cat inkansas]

Another turnover, I feel like I'm typing that a lot lately.

10 turnovers between Mac and Falzon

 

[SmellyCat]

I don't think NU is terrible. They're just what they were before last year's magic. An ok team that will win some games, lose some games, and will have trouble against superior athletes.

 

[WildcatfanChris17]

Mac another turnover

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

No one helped Ash there!

 

[WildcatfanChris17]

Law just fouled out, not looking good for the Cats.
