Minnesota vs. Northwestern game thread

[lou v]

It's Bye, Bye Boo Night at Welsh-Ryan. The student sections are full, as usual, but there are some empty seats sprinkled throughout the arena -- though fans are still arriving.

I'm working on a wonky dishwasher tonight, but will be watching from here in WI . LFG Cats!!

 

[SmellyCat]

I assume Langborg is good to go?

[EagerFan]

Cats warm up looked good. Although Boo’s left hand/thumb/finger is seriously taped up.

It will not distract you at all. As the recent announcer said, we know where you'll be.

GO CATS!

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Once again I have no feeling on how this one will go hoping the home crowd and senior night is the adrenalin shot we need for the dub

 

[lou v]

I assume Langborg is good to go?

Yep, he's in the starting lineup.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Students got sweet Boo T shirts

 

[SmellyCat]

I’m at home and it’s wrestling on BTN. what’s up with that?

tip off is 8:12 I'm assuming they'll switch over then

As the program alert at the bottom of the screen, says, they will switch over at the end of the wrestling event. You can watch the Northwestern game on the Fox Sports app until then. Takes 10 seconds to download if you don’t already have it.

 

[SmellyCat]

Yeah. I’m on it, thanks. I just assumed this was The Biggest Story in the Country and they’d have everyone talking about it for hours.

 

[CappyNU]

I see Earl Walton is one of the refs tonight, he's the guy who ejected Langborg at Rutgers?

 

[jne381]

I have the Fox Sports App, but it won't load. Ugh!

 

[IMC Cat]

Not sure what Hunger provides when he's on the court....

 

[EagerFan]

Physical game some far. Hunger got to the 14 minute mark before he picked up a foul.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Hunger getting abused

 

[GatoLouco]

We need to stop making silly mistakes on defense. The offense is fluid.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Blake Smith magic!

 

[SmellyCat]

I have to admit...that was a sick dunk.

 

[EagerFan]

Boo getting assaulted as usual, but he’s getting some calls tonight.

Cats shots are falling. Preston with some solid minutes.

Shots falling is an understatement the kids are en fuego right now

 

[CatManTrue]

BS blocking call on Martinelli there. The Refs are up to their usual tricks

 

[phatcat]

I haven't seen a charge called all year.

 

[EagerFan]

Nick got robbed there.

I need to point out that Brooks actually sat for a few possessions. I don’t know when I last saw that.

 

[CatManTrue]

Side note: these State Farm commercials with Caitlin Clark have become ingratiating

 

[PURPLECAT88]

Kendall Gill sighting in the players parents section. With his family.

 

[BosCat]

Why do NU defenders keep letting themselves get shoved to the ground?

I mute every commercial and don't look up.

100 %. If MN was not on (a smaller) fire too we’d have won this game already.

 

[EagerFan]

Where has this version of Preston been?

Oh oh. Is Tim Doyle in the building?

The Statue of Liberty is playing well

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Where has this version of Preston been?

Got buried in the rotation after MN started getting back into shape and Luke picked up his play. Still impressive though hope he carries it over to the next game.

This game is NOT OVER. This is the one they need to win

 

[DaCat]

12 point lead at halftime, let’s close this out strong in the second half!!

 

[CappyNU]

The defense needs to pick it up big time. We're not gonna shoot 75% in the second half. We should be up by 25 points.

My Varsity feed keeps turning off. WGN Extra, I can't even get. Any other Dave and Billy fans having similar issues?
