Second Half Thread vs MSU
- Thread starter DaCat
- Start date
MSU really stepping it up on the defensive end. Hard to do this with Pardon out, but would like to set up in the post a little more. Not getting much going right now.
Thanks for starting the thread. I was too giddy from that first half to think about it.
NU has missed nine straight shots, MSU has closed to within 15, and Pardon and Skelly have four fouls each. NU badly needs a bucket. The MSU fans are roaring right now.

Fortunately, Benson has played pretty well on the defensive end. Might need to see a little more of Brown to get the offense moving.
such ********. refs call a tight game when we only have 8 players. Taking Pardon out and completely hamstringing us. Ridiculous...
Benson is getting boxed out on both ends, and the guards have missed at least two dishes inside to him. Need to get a basket.
I haven't seen too many questionable fouls. Cats needed to play like the only had 40 fouls to give from the beginning of the game and Skelly and Benson in particular did not do that.
The refs did a real number on us. Two of Pardon's fouls were absolute BS. Totally took him out of the game.
You're blaming this on Collins!? Worst coaching job you've ever seen? What the hell is wrong with you?
Are you out of your mind. CC has nothing to do with it. Look at the shooting percentage you fool.
Coaches aren't to blame for losses! It's the refs fault!!! The refs cost us 22 points!
Agree.
Jonny called it earlier, but gotta pound it inside. That garbage 4th foul on Pardon was a killer.
I don’t understand our offense. Shot clock winding down and no one is moving to try to create an opportunity. Law has to try to drive and force a bad shot and no one is there to rebound. ???
This was the best half I’ve ever seen followed by the worst half I’ve ever seen. 4 points in 15 minutes?

Coaching has nothing to do with shooting percentages! Or defensive efficiency! Or free-throw shooting! Or rebounding! After all, the coaches aren't out there missing shots or not playing defense or not boxing out!
To be fair, some of the fouls called on Bridges were pretty questionable too.
Seems like we were a little careless on fouls in the first half which got us into trouble in the second half. When we had such a big lead I wondered why our guys were being so reachy and giving up cheap fouls.
A team reflects their coach. Collins whines and moans when things get tough and his team copies him. Where is the toughness??
Anytime you have only 8 scholarship players, those extremely questionable calls (especially regarding Pardon, our most important player by far) are simply killers.
