Second-half thread for NU vs. Michigan

[lou v]

Well, NU got off to a great start and then...pfffft.

The Cats ran out to a 14-5 lead with SIX players getting on the scoresheet. Michigan, meanwhile, hit just 2 of its first 11.

Then NU had two LONG scoring droughts: first 4:48, and then the last 7:06. It's awfully tough to win like that.

Lindsey leads the way with 7 as the Cats are shooting just 33.3 percent from the floor and have as many turnovers (eight) as field goals.

Luckily, Michigan isn't much better shooting the rock at 36 percent.

Ash needs to be in there quick

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Michigan likes to rotate the ball! We need to continue to play good defense and be patient on offense and score with some monster jams!

I believe Charles Matthews was teammates with Law in high school. Good looking player

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Benson had an easy jam and didn’t break for the basket. Nice pass by Ash

About to get out of hand

where Is our offense?

Put Gaines in there

Shooting 37% didn’t help; scoring 40 points in a modern day basketball game didn’t help.

Agreed. If this game was played in 1942, we’d have a better chance. 40 would probably be enough to win and Wagner would be on the other team in a different type of battle.

In 1942 Wagner's team would have been kicking butt.....I'd rather play in 1944.

Law and Mac and Scottie ain’t making any shots. All three are playing thirty minutes a game,but can’t score

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Mac didn’t do anything down the stretch. Missed free throws and layups. Just nasty offense. We will beat em at Rosemont

 

[freewillie07]

BMac has missed a bunch of looks at the rim late in the game. Could be a 5-point game with 1:11 to play instead of a seemingly insurmountable 9.

He hasn’t done much the entire game. Got burned on a three early on! We need Ash to start,but Collins won’t have it! Mac was terrible today!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Mac and Law were 5-18 with six turnovers! They shoot fifty percent and limit turnovers and we win!

You taking some time off now?

I miss caring.
