Game Thread: Dayton vs. Northwestern

[mshelton33]

Northwestern (1-0) hosts Dayton (1-0) at Welsh-Ryan Arena tonight at 7:30 p.m.

The game will air on BTN and could be the highest profile non-conference game at the new Welsh-Ryan Arena.

Good thing we had some beers in the lot. Beer lines obscene.

 

[mshelton33]

Not a sell out but it's going to get loud. Most purple I've seen in WRA for a non-con game

Here's a stupid question did signing up for B10+ give me access to streaming games on the BTN?

 

[EagerFan]

Students came out tonight, regular seats are still slowly filling up. Most folks probably in lines

 

[EagerFan]

Cats giving Dayton a lot of open looks from three. Need to ratchet down on that unless Dayton sucks from three?

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Boo with a hot start

I believe we faced a good Lon Kruger Oklahoma team at the new WR. Went into overtime.

Bruce Weber is making my ears hurt. Needs to STFU and let the game breathe for a sec.

 

[mshelton33]

Not sure if it's coming through on the broadcast but the student section broke out a "F--k Ohio" chant

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

MN has their point guard on him and just does nothing

 

[EagerFan]

Martinelli with a sweet move.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Gonna need some people to score in the post if MN isn't going to be more assertive this year

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

I grew up around an hour north of Dayton along the I-75 and have been a fan of the school’s long basketball history. The Flyers are always tough.

Nice 11-0 run at the last 3-1/2 minutes. Go Cats!

 

[PURPLECAT88]

Great 11-0 run to end the half. Langborg having a great game, and this might be the best half we’ve seen from Martinelli.

 

[its_the_sauce]

Correct me if I'm wrong but other than a put back rebound they did did not have a 2 point hoop...

 

[EagerFan]

I’m sure the pros will have better analysis. To me it seemed like once we got the switches and guarded the three more effectively, their offense stagnated.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Langborg looks like a reliable scorer that's gonna take some pressure of Boo this year

 

[GatoLouco]

NM giving us reason to wonder if he will not be in the starting five later in the season.

 

[Jonny2TheP]

Very nice end to the half. Buie is such a great weapon to have when we need a basket.

 

[PURPLECAT88]

Defense continues to be the calling card. Dayton has hit a bunch of 3s, but just about nothing inside, and we’re owning the defensive glass.

First two pointer was with 6:43 to go.

Dayton had six - SIX - rebounds in first half.

 

[ballerog711]

They have a nice 8 man rotation.

Hard with Clayton and MN on the court at same time. Two traffic cones on offense

 

[SimpsonElmwood]

Clayton will come around.

 

[its_the_sauce]

Fun to see WR full in November

 

[ballerog711]

Clayton will come around.

No doubt, give him credit for playing with that brace. Usually with a minor injury it's a knee sleeve.

 

[PURPLECAT88]

No minutes for Mullins thus far. I think he’s going to be valuable down the line, but Coach must think he’s not as ready for this level as Clayton. No sign of injury in his warmup.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Happy to report that we're NOT outnumbered by Dayton fans, but the ones here are certainly loud.

 

[SimpsonElmwood]

We have a new screamer.

 

[GatoLouco]

Berry can’t finish a fast break to save his life. I thought Barnhizer got fouled in the follow up. Would have been their big guy’s 3rd

 

[EagerFan]

We give them four wide open looks and it’s a tie game.

 

[PURPLECAT88]

Brutal cold spell for the Cats. Dayton catches fire. We’re still getting good looks. Not time to panic.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Dayton can shoot da 3

 

[ballerog711]

Open layups,......

 

[benoitdenizetl]

Brutal stretch. Nicholson looks lost out there on offense.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

It's early but MN does not look good so far

 

[PURPLECAT88]

Finally Preston makes one after he, MN, Brooks and Berry had combined to miss 725 consecutive layups.

 

[NCPurplecat]

MN got one in his range. Plus a nice block.

 

[ballerog711]

Now that how you finish at the basket. He will be a pro some day.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Collins subs MN immediately after the posterizer lol that can't feel good
