Game Thread: Michigan vs. Northwestern

[ballerog711]

Hey coach a little sense of urgency

 

[GatoLouco]

Second chance to take control of the game, up 7.

 

[DaCat]

Langborg getting it done!!

 

[EagerFan]

That was a nice series of Cats play. Solid defense from Blake and Boo.

I like Boo tried giving Matt a dunk, recovered the ball, and gave it to Ryan instead.

When a bad team keeps hitting their threes, scary things can happen

True, but I'm hoping the "scary" thing will be their luck running out. Come on, 8-for-10 is unreal.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Managing the minutes for Boo/Lang/Barnhizer going forward is going to be crucial

Second chance to take control of the game, up 7.

Put a guy on Burnett and don't let him get an open look. He's the only thing they have this half.

Well, they DO get extra rest after tonight, so I'm all for playing them as much as they need to secure the win.

As long as no one gets hurt... Pardo has pointed out all 3 of them limping at some point!

We’re pressing Burnett now. I wonder if we’re trying to tire him out a little. Smith is being the good kind of annoying.

 

[SmellyCat]

Barney filling the boxscore again. Welcome back! 13 points, 9 boards, three assists, three steals, one block.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Boo Buie with one for the GRAM

 

[NU Houston]

The old NBA on NBC music still weirds me out a bit on FS1. I'm looking for Hakeem, Barkley and MJ out there.

And now a Hakeem reference on the broadcast! Partying like it's 1995.

Barney filling the boxscore again. Welcome back! 13 points, 9 boards, three assists, three steals, one block.

Dear coaches: please sit Barnhizer the rest of the second half!

If we can’t beat this shitty Michigan team without him up 11 with 8 minutes left, then we don’t deserve to dance.

 

[CatManTrue]

Ho boy. Buie is limping hard and in visible pain. We’re F’ed.

 

[IMC Cat]

Our "bye" this weekend is much needed. Just gotta survive these last 6 minutes

 

[EagerFan]

Boo limping after the play.

The injury bug has me shaking in my seat.

Great assist to Nick tho.

Also, Blake giving good minutes tonight.

 

[SmellyCat]

I can't read lips, but I could've sworn Boo said, "I'm alright" right before the commercial break. Or maybe I just want to believe that.

 

[freewillie07]

Buie is back out there. Wow. Surprised.

 

[SmellyCat]

Buie is back out there. Wow. Surprised.

I'm not surprised, but I'm nervous.

Bardo is really good

 

[Hungry Jack]

Boo is as pert as a ruttin’ buck

 

[CatManTrue]

Buie is back out there. Wow. Surprised.

WTF is he still out there up 17 minutes with 3 minutes left to play???

God damn it CCC!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Michigan is bad.

Northwestern is good!

Hard-hitting analysis.

 

[SmellyCat]

"Chicken is like gold or bitcoin to college students."

Love you Bardo.

 

[CatManTrue]

Boo is as pert as a ruttin’ buck

Stop being racist

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Boo is as pert as a ruttin’ buck

Whoa. THAT'S pert.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Would it kill Langborg to smile once in a while

 

[gradeck]

20 point lead, time to pull the starters, Chris.

 

[Darren72]

This game is turned into men versus boys.

 

[bjm989]

He should absolutely get subs in.

Ryan Langborg went to Princeton. He knows the artificial world of a basketball score is merely a created world, an invention of our perception, merely a flicker of shadow on the wall of a cave we all agree to enter together for two hours. The shadow tells us we're winning. The shadow tells us we're losing. Joy, intensity, focus... all is just a matter of how we choose to react.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

First back to back conf 10 win seasons weeee

 

[DaCat]

Nice win for the Cats, with some time to get rested and healed before the next game.

[TheC]

Boo Buie is a Northwestern legend. He’s the best player on the best multi year teams in program history

So weird it must be truth

Ryan kinda has resting sneer face.
