DePaul-Northwestern first-half thread

[lou v]

Northwestern begins its Post-Pardon Depression (clever, huh?) tonight with a game against crosstown rival DePaul. The Blue Demons lost to Rutgers (!), but last year NU had to go to overtime to get the win behind a strong game by Aaron Falzon.

Hopefully the Cats take care of business tonight. We'll get to see what Barret Benson can do with some extended minutes. He starts tonight.

Lumpkin shooting with confidence! Benson wants the ball! Two good signs...

 

[lou v]

Not a bad start for Benson. Two jumpers for four points, with one turnover on a charge and one foul.

We have some really good Shooters are Center looks good

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Lindsay draining the threes

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

What a friggen pass!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Lou,if we win,the headlines are "No Post Pardon Depression for NU! "

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Slow start for the Wildcats if we made a couple baskets we'd be winning

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Law is a badass going to the rim! This team can win the Big Ten

 

[lou v]

NU is putting on a clinic offensively, shooting 70%. They are red-hot from 3, getting fast break points at the rim. Everything is falling.

 

[LansingCat]

Wow! Just wow! What a great way to introduce Benson to the starting lineup .

 

[nucatnap]

This has to be the deepest NU team I have ever seen, Ever.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Lindsay has an amazing shot! I love this lineup! Loaded with great shooters like Law,Taphorn,and Sanjay! Bryant is passing the ball well and not pressing his shots!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

McIntosh got hurt

 

[Kelly_32]

Just his pride. He'll be fine.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

How about our defense man we playing tough defense

 

[lou v]

Dave Leitao is wondering what would happen if the Blue Demons just ran to the busses and left at halftime. Good god.

 

[Windy City Cat Fan]

36 point halftime lead has to be an all time record I would think.

 

[Fitz51]

Well, it's nice to be on the right side of a half like this!

 

[LansingCat]

That's a half for the ages. That's a great start and great minutes for the new center Benson. Lindsey is the player of that half. The hard question is, how do you maintain intensity when you're ahead by 30+ points ?

Nah. Remember we've had Mississippi Valley State on our schedule for several years now....
