Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Iowa (Billy McKinney Night)

[GatoLouco]

I swear the Iowa roster looks like they all came directly from the farm. Even the black guys somehow do.

 

[NUCat320]

Martinelli doesn’t need to *look* for his three. Get on the baseline.

 

[TheC]

I don't think we can climb this mountain too. Just awful luck.

 

[EagerFan]

Looks like Matt left the game after limping off the court.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Iowa definitely playing to wear Cats out.

It's a good plan. If Langborg is capable of playing any minutes, we're really pressing our luck here.

 

[DaCat]

Looks like Matt left the game after limping off the court.

Non-contact injuries worry me. Hope he’s okay.

 

[jensberg]

Yeah that looked like a foot injury and that could be serious

 

[TheC]

God, I hate Iowa.

 

[T_Levine]

The word pop came out of nicholson’s mouth. Don’t know if it was heard a pop or no pop.

He’s in the locker room.

 

[TheC]

Too much fouling

Michigan kid. Pretty sure he just wanted to make sure that there was a Faygo ready for him.

 

[NUCat320]

Boo might need 30 today. It would’ve helped if he got that foul called.

 

[zbag51]

Man, this is gonna be hard to come back from.

 

[TheC]

Don't see us coming back. Just not enough horses

 

[jensberg]

How has Iowa lost so many games. They have a fabulous offensive team just about everybody on the team can shoot

 

[FeralFelidae]

I think Iowa's going to win this one.

 

[EagerFan]

cats threes are not falling and it hurts.

 

[jensberg]

I'm more worried about the next couple games. If Nicholson's out for an extended period and Langborg doesn't come back we're in big trouble for the next two games as well.

 

[TheC]

Why is Mullins getting no action? We can't have Brooks and Nick play 40 minutes. We just don't have the energy out there.

 

[jensberg]

If we lose all three of our last games we're no longer in the tournament unless we do well in the Big Ten Tournament

 

[SmellyCat]

My Hulu has been freaky tonight. It stops and a minute later Iowa has five more points. What are they saying about Nicholson?

 

[DaCat]

I think Iowa's going to win this one.

Never give up on the Cats!

 

[DaCat]

If we lose all three of our last games we're no longer in the tournament unless we do well in the Big Ten Tournament

Good grief.

 

[Hungry Jack]

We will tough this one out

 

[SmellyCat]

If we lose all three of our last games we're no longer in the tournament unless we do well in the Big Ten Tournament

It’s not true. Come on.

 

[TheC]

Good grief.

The concern is how bad the injury is to Matt. If he's done for the year, we're in huge trouble.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Like everyone else in the big10 lost a bunch on the road and had one or two boogie man teams they couldn't beat like Maryland

 

[NUCat320]

You’re incorrect, and also it will be immaterial.

 

[TheC]

How does do nothing Perkins get calls and Boo gets nothing?

 

[NUCat320]

I feel the same way as Butch. This team has done it time and time again. Belief until proven otherwise.

 

[NUCat320]

That’s not a Eurostep, that’s a BlueBellPAStep.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Plenty of time left boys keep up the defense!

 

[TheC]

These refs are atrocious!!

 

[NUCat320]

Boo hurt his non-shooting hand when bracing himself.

He’s gonna match Billy Mc’s jersey number today, at least. Go Cats.

 

[TheC]

Has the charge just been taken out of the college basketball game?!? It's terrible

 

[EagerFan]

Now I’m worried about Matt’sfoot and Boo’s wrist. That foul call on him was insane.

 

[SmellyCat]

Is Hurlbut going to play tonight?

 

[zbag51]

Is Boo the least fouled player in the Big 10 or what?!

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

These refs are atrocious!!

That's a tough one... but Boo beat him to the spot and the Iowa player was lowering his shoulder I would've leaned towards an offensive foul for sure

 

[zbag51]

That guy just grabbed Nick’s arm!
