Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Maryland

[SDakaGordie]

Barnhizer is definitely not right.

I agree. He winced hard after coming down from that dunk.

 

[DaCat]

Announcers had no clue

 

[CappyNU]

Fitzmorris got a block*!

*Barely deflected the ball but got enough of it

 

[Arlcatsfan]

Ty knocking down 3's tonight. A sight for sore eyes. Keep it up.

 

[CappyNU]

I agree. He winced hard after coming down from that dunk.

He's definitely hobbling around a bit but nailed that 3!

 

[SmellyCat]

Ty knocking down 3's tonight. A sight for sore eyes. Keep it up.

Barnhizer knocking one down is a sight for sore eyes too. Team is shooting well tonight. Keep it up for 11 more minutes!

 

[SmellyCat]

I have to admit, "Young...to Rice...that's an old 49ers play!" is a good line.

 

[zbag51]

4:09 to go, keep it up, Cats!

They’ve had some good lines. The Ben Gay Icy Hot banter was clever.

I have not been this tense watching a game in a while. We really need this one.

Seems like we have gathered a million defensive rebounds where it seemed they were going to get the ball and somehow, miraculously, we got the ball.

We have also fumbled away just as many rebounds that we should have grabbed.

 

[CappyNU]

Well this is not good...

 

[NU Houston]

Free throws....

 

[SmellyCat]

What does Barney have to do to get them to call a foul when he shoots?

 

[DaCat]

Just shot ourselves in the foot.

 

[CappyNU]

I have no idea how Brooks is still in the game after that spill.

 

[GatoLouco]

Barnhizer got clearly fouled, not by Reese on the shot but before, on the dribble: pushed.

 

[NU Houston]

What does Barney have to do to get them to call a foul when he shoots?

Those weren't fouls. Conversely, he needs to hit the FTs when he has the opportunity.

 

[NU Houston]

One FG in the final four and a half minutes of regulation. Can't do that.

 

[DaCat]

Maryland trying their best to give us the game, but we’re having none of that!

 

[CappyNU]

Nicky buckets!!

 

[BosCat]

 

[SDakaGordie]

What a great game. Our effort is so amazing.

 

[NU Houston]

Nice win! About time NU gets one at the end.

 

[GatoLouco]

There was no need to get me this close to a heart attack

 

[12375CAT]

Should have won it in reg.

 

[CappyNU]

This was a much better game to attend than last year's Chicago State game

 

[SmellyCat]

Sport Marty!

 

[BosCat]

Easy peasy...

 

[Darren72]

Cats magic! What a win.

 

[SmellyCat]

Those weren't fouls. Conversely, he needs to hit the FTs when he has the opportunity.

Honestly, the way the refs called it tonight, the one at the end of regulation I guess is not a foul, but I think the one he shot like a minute before that was definitely a foul.

 

[Arlcatsfan]

WOW. What a great inbounds play to win it. Martinelli with the shot. Barny might need crutches and a oxygen tank after this game. Big team win.

 

[DaCat]

A win is a win! Add that shot to the highlight reel for Martinelli.

 

[Arlcatsfan]

Honestly, the way the refs called it tonight, the one at the end of regulation I guess is not a foul, but I think the one he shot like a minute before that was definitely a foul.

The refs tonight called it pretty even both ways. Let the guys play on both ends. Unlike the travesty in state penn. If you don't call it on one end you don't call it on the other. That state penn game is a big loss for no reason other than you had three refs who should not be reffing 10 year olds.

So any intel if Mullins is hurt? Did he participate in warmups?

He did

 

[rwhitney014]

Had to have it. Got it. Dubya. We’re onto Michigan. I’m tired.

Towards the end of regulation my wife was starting to get antsy to head home. But she was a trooper and didn’t complain (too much) when we had to stay through OT!

 

[Hungry Jack]

I swore an oath to Odin when Barney missed the front end of the one on one.

They’ve had some good lines. The Ben Gay Icy Hot banter was clever.

They had some good lines but overall Bardo was just brutal to listen to. Totally not objective and just poor analysis the whole way through. It seemed like nearly every foul call on either side I was just thinking “you seriously must not be watching the same replay that your camera just showed.” Pretty disappointing given how good of a game it was. I’m not sure if he’s over the hill, or just… bad at his job.

PS the refs tonight were not perfect of course but I thought they did a good job. Especially toward the end they made the decision to just not call a foul unless it was egregious and they were consistent on both sides of the play. I appreciated that, and I bet the players did too.
