Game Thread: Northwestern vs. DePaul

[EagerFan]

Mullins didn’t look comfortable shooting either of those, but they went in dadgumit!

 

[SDakaGordie]

Mullins to Nicholson - squared!!

 

[SmellyCat]

I feel better with Mullins dribbling the ball/facilitating than I do when Leach does it. Leach has been a bit shaky today.

 

[TheC]

Win these next four minutes and then let Brooks sit down

 

[MC_Cat]

Thus probably deserves its own thread but...I appreciate Justin Mullins bigtime.

DePaul can shoot

DePaul having success on the fast catch and shoots.

Leach is pretty solid on the drive, but he definitely struggles when static and guarded by an actual guard on the perimeter.

DePaul is going to win some games shooting like this. That’s good for us as long as we hold on here.

What a finish by the Cats!!

 

[NUCatswin]

nasty foul, glad Brooks isn't hurt

 

[EagerFan]

Things getting a little chippy. Nick kept talking to that guy while the guy walked away.

Now they’re trying sweet Caroline to maybe engender some softer feelings?

 

[EagerFan]

That foul stunk and the refs agreed.
Fragrant foul!!

 

[FeralFelidae]

Pretty good.

 

[EagerFan]

A satisfying end to the game indeed.

 

[NUCatswin]

winning by 20 should be good for the NET

 

[SmellyCat]

Leach, Barnhizer, Berry, and Nicholson combined for 14 steals!

 

[TheC]

Give some love to Big Matt today. Really nice game from him today.

Five dunks, I believe, with a sixth basket that was one of his best moves of the season.

A satisfying end to the game indeed.

DePaul got to within 8 with their three point shooting, then the Cats just snuffed them out and won going away. Solid veteran leadership wins out.

Of his career!

Loved the look on CCC’s face after the flagrant on Brooks! He’s looking out for his guys!

I was going to say "It's the sauce" and then I saw who I was talking to.

In my opinion their slogan should be "it's the links"! They're outstanding
