Game Thread: Chicago State vs. No. 25 Northwestern

[CappyNU]

Always gotta love the refs calling two different games each half. Might've called 3 or 4 fouls on CSU in the first half and now we're in the bonus the rest of the way.

Boo keeps finding him. Veteran leader.

That was some crazy shot

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Barnhizer doin' the dirty work again.. wish Nicholson could match his energy in the paint

 

[NUCatswin]

need to box out

 

[Hungry Jack]

There is some physical talent on this CSU team. Athletic teams give us fits.

 

[TheC]

We’re going into a lull again. Need to keep up the effort.

 

[DaCat]

Let’s see Buie take over down the stretch! Need to put this game away, been farting around too much.

 

[ballerog711]

Free throws.........

 

[SDakaGordie]

Buie really playing poor defense.

 

[TheC]

Bad call.. offthem

 

[TheC]

CSU is the team taking over down the stretch.

 

[Alvious]

If we lose this game Collins should be gone. This is ridiculous.

 

[TheC]

Being completely outplayed. We are not an NCAA tournament team.

 

[ballerog711]

Last two buckets for Chicago where on Boobeing lazy

 

[SDakaGordie]

If we lose this game Collins should be gone. This is ridiculous.

What if we win by 1?

 

[TheC]

Why haven’t we done that all damn night!!!!

 

[mekCat]

FTs. We should be ahead

 

[TheC]

Boo had a wide open layup and he pulls up and misses a floater. He just looks so out of sorts the last several minutes.

 

[DaCat]

Head scratching turnovers and just lazy play is killing us. Gotta get our shit together, time is running down.

 

[Fitz51]

What ranked team doesn’t lose or barely win against KenPom’s number 335?

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

CSU came to play credit to them but teams are coming for us every game now that were ranked

 

[ballerog711]

Right now CHI is 14-16 from the line. NU is 9 for 16.

 

[TheC]

What if we win by 1?

If we do lose, they need to burn those gray uniforms.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Boo doin' Boo things

 

[SDakaGordie]

Boo doin' Boo things

Needs to make up for his poor, poor defense.

 

[TheC]

Another opposing guard eating us alive

 

[SDakaGordie]

Another opposing guard eating us alive

Maybe we could use Audige…

 

[TheC]

Matt… you’re 7 frickin feet tall!! How are you not getting every damn rebound??!!

 

[TheC]

I can’t believe this. It’s so Northwestern.

 

[Fitz51]

I can’t believe this. It’s so Northwestern.

This.

 

[ballerog711]

Chi St. Will be ranked 25th next week

Season ender

 

[SmellyCat]

I've said a lot of wrong things the last few days. A lot.

 

[ballerog711]

That's a group of players that were believing there hype.

This is the best thing to happen to them to make them focused.

That might be overreacting, C. Hopefully, we can use it as a learning experience and motivation. Let’s do well in the league and we’ll be fine.

 

[timbfischer]

Every time Northwestern does something to which I say, "This is the most Northwestern thing ever," I need to start remiding myself that there is probably no limit to that.

 

[TheC]

I disagree. With no quality out of conference wins, unless we blast through the BIG season, this loss will keep us out of the tournament.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

I can’t believe this. It’s so Northwestern.

Yep pretty much this. Why we still get so intimidated by athletic teams is an ongoing theme
