R u kidding me? Audige really screwed the goose there!

Aren't we supposed to be the smart ones? What an incredibly stupid play by Chase.

 

[ballerog711]

How stupid was that by chase and they should tell him so

 

[DaCat]

This could have a bad ending, but hope not.

Call it a hunch, but in a decade we’ll be remembering this one as The Martinelli Game.

I was wrong. Kudos to Big Matt for not picking up that fifth.

Dumb foul and what’s happened to Audige’s shooting touch?? Bricked a lot of good looks. Congrats on the win!!

OMG did the ref actually try to call a foul on the rebound? The crowd is displeased, but the failure to start the clock - game over.

Good win! Not our dreaded end of game performance

I think he lost his legs a bit around the ten minute mark.

I think the foul call, if it held up, would've been on the Wisky rebounder against Nicholson.

Legitimately excellent performance, including down the stretch!

 

[DaCat]

Cats gutted out that win. Haven't seen this kind of win in the past 3 years or more.

 

[Hungry Jack]

These refs are anal retentive

 

[TheC]

Did Boo and Chase play the whole game? Studs!!

Definitely, but let it go ref, the game’s over.

These guys really really wanted to call fouls tonight.

NU was 16-18 from the line. Wisconsin was 9-16.

NU has always been on the wrong side of both of those stats. Always.

This is a good team.

 

[mekCat]

Also outrebounded them

 

[Arlcatsfan]

What a terrific gutsy performance tonight. The guys as usual busted their collective butts and came out on top at home in a close game.
Gotta be proud of our team. What a big win this is. Now get the guys some rest as they are back at it Wednesday night.

MN 5 for 6 from the line. If he goes 3 for 4 instead of 0 for 4 against Rutgers, maybe a different outcome.

Great job fixing an issue, hopefully he keeps it up.

Am I correct that his FTs tonight had a higher release point than he's used before?

 

[ballerog711]

Looked like more arc on his foul shot.

Now if he can learn a drop step it's on to the tourney

Morning after the game, just reading thru the comments...
Strong effort by all who posted - could actually replay the game in my head based on the comments.

Solid win for the Cats, but losing Roper is a big concern as of right now.
Martinelli is probably going to have to play in the days ahead... Get him ready.
(the kid has size and looks pretty fluid, with decent instincts)
