Second-half thread for NU vs Minnesota

[Deeringfish]

Kopp misses a wide open three that would have sealed the win. Totally changed the momentum.

It would have

 

[GatoLouco]

Expect zone. Last games we switched to zone for the last couple of minutes

He misses lots of shots.

 

[Deeringfish]

It would have

Kopp has really wilted over the season.

 

[TheC]

While I hope we win, it really doesn't make that much difference. This team is just awful.

 

[corbi2961]

Buie just needs to take a permanent seat on the bench. I would not play him.

 

[NUinIowafan]

Rebounds are never happening. We just run away. So frustrating

 

[SDakaGordie]

He misses lots of shots.

Yah way too many

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, BUIE???

 

[Deeringfish]

too late

 

[ParisCat_rivals]

Kopp is 4-17. Are you kidding me?

 

[JournCat]

Honestly ready for this season to end and focus on the NFL Draft full time ...

 

[Titanium999]

Boo doesn't got it

 

[TheC]

I'm resigned to another season of this crap next year. But then there better be some changes.

 

[SDakaGordie]

I stand by my statement of games ago, as a Collins supporter - if Buie starts game one next year, Collins should be fired on the spot.

 

[cedricmelons]

12-0 "run" by minnesota to close the game. We have no one who can make a play and get a bucket in the crunch.

 

[NU Houston]

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, BUIE???

Misses two FTs and then fouls on a 3 as the shot clock is expiring. Then turns the ball over on the next possession. Terrible. Glad this season is over.

 

[NCPurplecat]

Truly lived up to a 12 vs 13 seed game. Good news is our players won't declare for the draft after this one.

 

[cat inkansas]

These players aren't very good for this level of competition.

 

[DaCat]

Buie just lost the game for us.

 

[NCPurplecat]

Good Job LADY CATS. Got one today.

 

[TheC]

Buie just lost the game for us.

He was far from alone. Outside of Gaines' defense, the whole team sucked today.

 

[lunker35]

We suck. This season sucked. I really have so little positive to take away.

 

[cat inkansas]

Kopp and Nance were 7/28.

 

[NUCat320]

We suck. This season sucked. I really have so little positive to take away.

Those ten days where we thought NU was good were fun.

 

[TejasCat]

Easily the most pathetic full game I have watched since my girls played grade school hoops

And it’s a mentally weak team with no moxie. Either the incoming frosh class better have some *** kickers or something drastic has to change during the off-season.

 

[SDakaGordie]

Kopp has lots of moxie. He just can’t make shots or play D. And that’s not on Collins.

 

[TheC]

And it’s a mentally weak team with no moxie. Either the incoming frosh class better have some *** kickers or something drastic has to change during the off-season.

Next year will be awful again. Collins will still be here. The same guys will still be making the same mistakes. It's Northwestern basketball. It is what it is.

 

[ParisCat_rivals]

We suck. This season sucked. I really have so little positive to take away.

The only positive was that I didn’t have the chance to buy season tickets to watch this debacle in person.

 

[jne381]

Unfortunately, this seems like the appropriate end to this season.

 

[cedricmelons]

Boo really needs to work on his ballhandling over the next 6 months. Way too loose with the ball. If he had a tighter handle, which seems possible to attain in the off-season, he might be able to be a quality lead guard for us.
