Me thinks the other Spencer with this Spencer’s shot and craftiness would be an NBA level player.

Man is it fun to watch entertaining basketball again. These guys have a lot of fight in them.
As Audige scores and we take the lead I screamed like a school girl. So loud my wife’s tushy levitated from the couch
Of all players, how do you let Spencer have THAT shot on that possession?
They lost the game in possession before that. Can’t wait around and take a terrible shot.
Terrible defense out of that Rutgers timeout... you're up 2 with 14 seconds left, why would you simply let them inbound with zero pressure and get into exactly the play they want to run??! Pressure, maybe you disrupt, maybe you get a steal, maybe they have to pass it in to... someone other than exactly who they want to, letting them run a play they just drew up
Disappointed, to be sure, but this team will win a lot of games this year. On to Michigan.
Thats the old boo for you. I've said it for 3 years, Buie is terrible with the ball in crunch time. He needs to be on the bench under 2 minutes. He has been consistently unreliable and loose with the ball when it really matters. The ridiculous play could change the whole season. Awful.
Great effort to come back by the Cats. Incredible run there to go up by 4. Man I thought they had it. They’ll get the next one!
Problem was in the pick and roll and the strong side defense. If Audige closes too aggressively on Spencer Omuruyi has an easy dunk
And a new generation of students is properly initiated into Northwestern fandom.
Are you kidding me with this take right now?
I'd rather give up a dunk than give Spencer a wide open 3.
Kid made a mistake. It was one of many turnovers in the game. Just happened at a bad time. He needs to be on the court in crunch time and they need to have a play that gets the ball into the paint.
This kind of comment is so lame. Coaching had a lot to do with their coming back in the 2nd half.
What's wrong with it? I was watching on my phone, so perhaps I missed a flagrant foul. Looked to me like he ran right into traffic and gave away the ball. And it's not the first time. Not mad at him. Just not surprised.
One of the most entertaining games in years, proving that we belong with the upper half of the conference, and people are rushing to crap on everyone immediately. Amazing.
I just get so ticked when they have our guys wait to initiate the O until only 10 seconds are left in the shot clock. Let’s be honest, we got a prayer answered when Roper banked the three pointer. That should have been a wasted possession. It was a bad shot delivered by a bad offensive plan in crunch time. Then we had another after it where we waited for the shot clock to run and Audige has to take a really tough shot. It seems so obvious to work the ball for longer to find a better shot, but they are not being asked to do that.
Without Buie we're not even close to being in the game to win it at the end.
It was interesting that Berry didn’t play much in the 2nd half. He must have not been cutting it on the defensive end.
