Game thread for No. 7 Northwestern vs. No. 10 Boise State

[ballerog711]

Rebounding has nothing to do with basketball ability. It just desire and wanting to outlook you opponent.

Come on NU control the boards the rest of the game.

Boo has Tim Doyle YMCA moves. He’ll dominate pickup games in his 60s.

Go clock go

Degenhart is greasy

Very Eastern Washington

Boo is elite mate, not to be mentioned in the same sentence as Tim Doyle. The cats got this!!

 

[stpaulcat]

I love they are spreading the shots around.

 

[mekCat]

Our 3 guards are all getting it done.

Berry showed the **** UP tonight

 

[GatoLouco]

They’ve had a bagillion offensive rebounds in the last 10 minutes but I only remember 2 second chance points.

 

[bjm989]

Cats just need to get the rebounds they’ve been giving away and we can pull this out.

Dude, he’s got Boo Buie moves, but he’s found old man double-hesitation, torso-fake, lean-in, roll-of-the-backboard game since January. It’s beautiful.

 

[Hans]

Very

Im calling it, game over thru got it. Handled an inferior team athletically and did what a higher seed is supposed to. Go cats

 

[GrandRapidsCatFan]

They’ve had a bagillion offensive rebounds in the last 10 minutes but I only remember 2 second chance points.

Only reason we're winning is because Boise has shot like ass in the second half

 

[zbag51]

Here’s an opportunity to open this up a bit. Let’s go CATS!!!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

HOW MANY SECOND CHANCES WILL WE GIVE THEM

 

[NUCat320]

Boise has 16 offensive boards. NU is shooting 49% from the field. Boise only has 9 TOs, hardly any in the second half.

Atypical!

 

[GatoLouco]

Beat UCLA

 

[Hans]

Beat UCLA

Bring on UCLA!!!

 

[phatcat]

I like this winning stuff

 

[GrandRapidsCatFan]

Northwestern about to remain undefeated in the first round of the tourney

 

[CatManTrue]

Beat UCLA

Bring on UCLA!!!

We’re only up 8… let’s finish this game.

Northwestern about to remain undefeated in the first round of the tourney

Fact, never lost first round. Nice narrative

 

[zbag51]

I know it’s very likely, should we not celebrate too early?

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Chase at the line like a baller. Calm down on the defensive side a little.

 

[Hans]

I know it’s very likely, should we not celebrate too early?

It’s a wrap!

 

[GrandRapidsCatFan]

These Idaho potatoes are baked!

 

[zbag51]

I watch on YouTube tv, which I’ve realized is a good 1-2 minutes slower than other providers

 

[GatoLouco]

We’re only up 8… let’s finish this game.

It’s not arrogance. It’s confidence

 

[CappyNU]

Phew

 

[NUCat320]

Berry has gotten called for four of the cheapest fouls I’ve ever seen today.

 

[GrandRapidsCatFan]

Cats 2-0 all-time first round
Boise State 0-9 all-time first round

The perfection continues

 

[ballerog711]

Great decision to go with the small lineup.

Berry had the biggest rebound of the game.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

yep

 

[Hans]

It’s not arrogance. It’s confidence

I swear I played these guys at the Y in 96. seriously we should have won this game. Glad we did

 

[NUCat320]

This is Chase’s first 20-point game since the Gophs.

And his most complete game, IMHO, since the win at Indiana.

Big-time players show up when the lights are brightest. (Conference tournaments excluded.)

 

[GatoLouco]

BSU=Bounced State U

 

[zeek55]

Phenomenal way to start the tournament. Go Cats!

Feel bad about BSU being 0-9 in the tournament; they'll get a win at some point, but thankfully not against us.

 

[ballerog711]

Boise state played their butts off, much respect
