Second-half thread for NU vs Ohio State
- Thread starter lou v
- Start date
Probably more driven by Beran’s 4 fouls than a move to not get killed on the boards.
Really nice to see, regardless of outcome, the team never stop fighting. Gutsy
My wife just asked me if I was ok when she heard me screaming like a school girl after the Audige 3
We got a decent shot there but I don’t like us waiting until 10 secs left and holding the ball. Move it around and find a good shot instead of sitting on it. Don’t like that.
The offense looked awkward to me with the two of them in there. Tried to play a high low post game but it did not seem comfortable. Again, I haven’t watched these guys like you guys have but based on my initial impression it seems like Young at the 5 with Beran playing a stretch 4 and Kopp, Audige and Buie on the perimeter would be the best lineup.
Was that 9 stops in 10 possessions at the end of the game? And the one was a shot you live with, even if Liddell - a badass - hit it over Young.
Also happened to be when we came back.
My grievance is more with Young not seeing much playing time than with lineups. Kid is, in my opinion, a really good player
He is for sure but couldn’t defend #32. That man ate him alive. OSU had a quick undersized center that’s not young’s game.
No doubt. I saw that within a couple of minutes of watching him play. The team is better with him on the floor.
A little exaggerated. I thought Young did a decent job on one of the better players in the B1G.
Agreed. The OSU player made a very though jumper late in the game with Young guarding him but Young did a very good job of moving his feet, keeping him in front of him and closing out on the jump shot. The kid just made a very tough shot.
If we had had a second half like we had today last Sat against dOSU, we would have won that game too
We are not better with him on the floor. He is a very good rotational player. But our offense and defense both function at higher level when the starters are playing together. He is not nearly as good a help defender as Nance or Beran and I think the offense flowing through Nance up top is our most efficient offense. Young was definitely a big part of the win today. And I am sure he will be in other games as well.
I agree the 5-Out sets flow better, but get used to seeing Nance and Young on the floor together as we face off against bigger and bigger teams. At least that’s what CCC said in his presser.
