Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Dayton

The offenssive foul call on Big Matt was questionable… The call on Martinelli was an absolute joke!
Maybe because they both missed a ton of time and are getting back into the swing of the game? Not that hard to figure out.
Look, it's clear and obvious what this team doesn't have: Boo.
They are playing tight and sloppy and just don't have an obvious leader...yet. Martinelli is doing his best, but when Brooks is hurt and Berry/Nicholson are still getting up to speed, it's not enough. Cats might steal this one yet, but they really have struggled in the second half.

Yeah, didn't like his hero ball that lead to jumping in the air with nowhere to go except a turnover. That was painful.
One man offense isn't going to win much. UIC could be a tough out Tuesday if we don't find some more scorers!
Zero mental toughness when things started going against them (the ticky tack offensive foul calls). Skittish and boneheaded under pressure. The good news is the first 25 minutes happened. Let’s hope they use this game to prepare for the rest of the games this season especially with Barnheiser coming back.
First half looks pretty good the second half was not very good at all. Dayton defense was astounding though I think the referees let them play way too close
Do you think the refs were missing contact? I thought the D from Dayton was good, but some of the fouls on NU were questionable. But I don't think they were letting Dayton hack the 'Cats.
I do like how aggressive he was from a standpoint of not being afraid in his second game ever. He also has to play well when he does that. I have faith that he will get there.
Not worried, I think our team is good and kind of felt like we let this one get away. We need to work on breaking the press.
Looks like NU will be the first Big Ten team to lose this year that I noticed.
Ballhandling in general was so shaky, right from the jump. Passing was off too, lots of indecision and then bad decisions.
Martinelli is next level now. Ciaravino is superb; his athleticism demands floor time but his awareness and shooting will mean major minutes.
KJ was good but made freshman mistakes. He showed he belongs. Berry and Leach just really struggled no two ways about it. Mullins did a lot of good things but his shooting was way off. If that improves he'll play a bunch this year.

I don't care what they say; UCLA isn't in the Big Ten. They're in California.
