Second half thread for NU vs. PSU

[lou v]

Where has THAT Barret Benson been all year? My goodness. Seven points and six rebounds for the big fella. Collins gave him the start as a reward for the last game, I'm sure, and man, has it paid off.

I've also been impressed with NU's defense. They've forced PSU into some tough shots and very little inside. Tony Carr -- 15 points, including some tough shots -- is keeping the Lions in the game.

It's 30-30 at the half. Let's see who comes out and takes control in the first five minutes of the second half.

Didn't you watch the last game?

Sure did. But where was he for the first 29 games?

Honestly, Benson looked sensational! What’s up?

Barret, a.k.a. the Eraser.

Worried about wearing down in the second half...

 

[JournCat]

Defensive breakdowns ... no depth ... letting up a big run and not being able to come back ... it’s time this season ended.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Gaines looks great also

PSU not having any trouble hugging, hooking and holding our guys. Benson getting mugged at the top of the key trying to distribute.

NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND! That 3 was huge...

Hi Tap!

What has happened to Skelly this year?
They were rebounding over him like he was about 5 feet tall.

 

[mikewebb68]

Now the place is filling up! Mostly Rutgers now, tho. PSU letting us hang around critical juncture here with Pardon and Scottie getting a blow, though Carr is out now as well...

Boxing out for him has been a nightmare this year.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Man, we look good

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Give it to scottie

 

[mikewebb68]

Bryant REALY needs a blow. Ugh, at least we have the media timeout...

Lindsey looked to the bench after a shot and asked Collins to call a timeout, pointing at BMac and then his own shoulder, as if to say “he hurt his shoulder.” But it looks like BMac is gonna gut it out.

Yeah, tough kid, win or lose here...

 

[mikewebb68]

Crazy long stoppage for the clock here plays to our advantage...

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Pardon got fouled

 

[mikewebb68]

That shot by BMac, with one arm, was unbelievable.

Scottie fouls out although the guys was still moving his feet at the whistle

 

[mikewebb68]

I am on the end away from the action, was that call on Scottie legit? Ballgame.

50-50. It looked like Lindsey might have been in the air when the defender set his feet.

The guy was still moving.

Lindsey fouled out and PSU scored the next eight points. Ball game.

Might? He was not set

 

[mikewebb68]

Ref shouldd have swallowed his whistle then, no way yout give a guy his 5th on that. Still, was impressed by the effort, BMAC in particular.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Good effort

 

[Catreporter]

Great effort, but this is not last year. McIntosh missed a 1-and-1 before the Lindsay play that would have given us the lead back. He wasn't doing that a year ago! Oh, and Aron Falzon needs to find his shot again. It got lost this year.

Dude, he wasn't doing that last year because he was wasn't playing with one are last year. Watching live, I was amazed he was even on the court.

Good night for me despite the loss, though. We played well (much better than my prior MSG visit)and the game experience was first class. And I met a Board member (SimpsonElmwood), which is always good...

You could see them give him way too much space out on the line because they knew he didn’t have the arm to hit a three. He gutted it out, but was obv. running about 50%.
