Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Indiana

[EagerFan]

Now what will they call this foul? Berry gets off the shot as IU shoves Nick backwards into Berry.

 

[NTCAT]

We need to continue to go at Goode if they are gonna leave him on the floor. He is not strong or quick enough to keep Nick or Brooks away from the bucket.

 

[Arlcatsfan]

Keep it up TY. Another 3.

 

[CappyNU]

Announcers mentioned that we are going at Mbakgo specifically when we're on offense.

 

[SmellyCat]

Did you see that glare from Collins at the timeout? I think that was at Hunger, but I'm not sure what he did. The turnover was on Barnhizer.

I went to UNC Greensboro at Indiana. Live it’s so evident that Goode can’t stay in front of most players.

Got burned on D that left Martinelli alone down low and opened up Goode for a 3.

Definitely glaring at Hunger. Maybe he was out of position causing the turnover.

 

[SmellyCat]

Leach picked a great time to start making shots.

 

[EagerFan]

Cats are a different team when they can hit wide open threes.

 

[ThatkidfromHolland]

There have been some missed calls and bad calls both ways. I still find it funny that they know they got it wrong and still scolded Collins for being outside the box complaining. Missed call further juiced the cats and crowd.

 

[Arlcatsfan]

Jalen Leach sighting. Two 3's in a row
10 2nd half points.

 

[EagerFan]

Their bugs leave their feet defensively a lot. I feel like that could be exploited more than is happening.

 

[Arlcatsfan]

It's raining 3's at Welsh- Ryan. The energy level for the Cats this half is off the charts.

 

[CappyNU]

 

[GatoLouco]

4th on Nick was BS

 

[bjm989]

Brooks really needs to get back to hitting his free throws. My goodness.

 

[CappyNU]

Barnhizer might as well be Nicholson right now at the free throw line, he can't have the ball in his hands in end of game situations.

 

[Medill '03]

Brooks really tightens up on FTs at the end of games. That one looked all wrong.

 

[bjm989]

Ok Brooks - hit these and put the game away.

 

[CappyNU]

Good Lord Brooks, he might've just broken his nose.

 

[EagerFan]

Yeah that’s a lot of self-inflicted blood right there. I hope he’s ok.

 

[bjm989]

Oh man. Hope that’s not a broken nose. Feel for the kid. Great way to put it away except that fall.

 

[GatoLouco]

Brooks might personify going too hard

 

[CappyNU]

5 wins in a row over the Hoosiers for the first time in 110 years 😂

 

[Arlcatsfan]

Oh man. Hope that’s not a broken nose. Feel for the kid. Great way to put it away except that fall.

That's what I am thinking. Last time he had a dunk against Maryland he tweaked his ankle. Just lay it up. Safer.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

You see why Berry has to be on the court because no one else can do what he does.

 

[Arlcatsfan]

This is the game we all wanted to see from Ty Berry. Clutch all night. We don't win this game without him. Leach had a great 2nd half. G

 

[DaCat]

That face plant by Barney was scary. Hope he’s okay.

 

[SDakaGordie]

We’re still a 5-man rotation.

 

[12375CAT]

Can the Wildcats win again @ Baylor. It's on ESPNU right now( 👍 ).

 

[SDakaGordie]

Big Matt was also particularly awesome in the second half.

 

[SmellyCat]

BB might have missed a bunch of free throws, but don't let that distract you from a great box score:

21 pts (8-14 from floor)
8 rebounds
6 assists
6 steals

 

[Hungry Jack]

BB might have missed a bunch of free throws, but don't let that distract you from a great box score:

21 pts (8-14 from floor)
8 rebounds
6 assists
6 steals

And 1 face plant

 

[Arlcatsfan]

Great energy also after halftime. Big win. 5 in a row against the Hoosiers. 1913 to 1915 the last time we beat them 5 in a row. Somewhere Bobby Knight is rolling over in his grave.

Can’t complain about the calls today!

 

[TheC]

Wow! Did we get that 3 point shooter in the portal I was asking for at halftime?!?

 

[Gatabowl]

This is the game we all wanted to see from Ty Berry. Clutch all night. We don't win this game without him. Leach had a great 2nd half. G

100%. And a lot of it was just hitting open looks. He got the opportunities and knocked them down. Leach bounced back in a big way in the second half. We don’t need to hit 13 or whatever 3s a game to win, just have to be better than we’ve been doing.

 

[TheC]

And 1 face plant

Wonder if we'll see face mask Barney next game.

Whatever CCC said at half worked.
