Second-half thread for NU vs. Michigan

[lou v]

Well, Michigan got off to a 10-0 start, but NU showed some fight and clawed it’s way back into the game. Then, the roof caved in. Michigan got hot and NU didn’t help matters by turning it over 10 times.

When you don’t have Vic Law and Jon Teske has 17 points at the half, it’s gonna be a long night.

Just get through the next 20 minutes and get back home.

BTN just mentioned that 17 is already Teske's career high. Glad he could have his unicorn game vs. us....

We have no speed and no defense. Agonizing horrible.

Collins' message at the half was clearly to attack the rim. Turner and Gaines have driven the ball to the hole the last four possessions.

Better 2nd half so far, but wonder how much of that is because Michigan has checked out.

NU has cut the lead from 24 to 15. I like the fight they've shown. Defense has been strong, they're attacking the rim and playing hard. The game's pretty much over, but that's a positive they can take away from it.

Boy, Nance has a long way to go.

First game in a while I’ve turned off early

Then you missed TINO time! Can't blame you, tho.

Surprised how unprepared Nance is to play at this level. Do like what kopp is showing however.

I think that's what kept him from being a top 50 recruit. He has incredible size, length and a very high ceiling with NBA bloodlines, but he is skinny, not physical and needs a lot of work.
