Game Thread: Northwestern vs. No. 17 Wisconsin

Ah. Important distinction. FWIW, it was 0-0 during that stint for about two minutes.
Really could use those 2 points back from that unnecessary technical foul from earlier. We never have those types of moronic plays.
Hurts to be at such a height disadvantage as well. Looking forward to all that height coming in next year who knows if they will play but we fortunately As Time Marches On will have some good height on this team for the first time in a while.
Probably a game over at this point now that they're hitting their shots but we sure put up a good fight given how under man we were and how much height Advantage they have and three-point shooting advantage
This is probably Nick's 4th or fifth game in a row shooting well under 50% for two-point shots. I don't know if it's cuz he plays too much or because teams know how to defend him but it's a world of difference from where he was earlier in the year.
A *lot* of bricks.
But it's not (just) his fault. Our opponent started hitting everything and NU stopped hitting anything. It unfortunately seems to happen every game.
Thank God we've got leech on the team he's having a a great game passing shooting Etc.
Is...is Leach our best player right now? With Barney hurt and Nick seemingly figured out, Leach might just be the best Wildcat.
Leach is a strong offensive player, and as long as he isn’t facing a top point guard, he’ll get his numbers.
the refs called a lot of shooting fouls on us, and very few shooting fouls on them. That’s how it’s been going.
NU was up 8 with 13 minutes left and had a wide open three. Less than a minute later it was tied.
So correct. Other teams have more and better players who make key shots to maintain / gain back momentum when needed.
I think we can put this talent debate to bed. We clearly don't have the talent level other BIG teams have.
A few of you guys are just pathetic.
Our best player is out injured and you choose that game to compare talent?
Thats what we call a loser move.
It took a career game from Carter Gilmore to beat NU today.
120 games played. 18 of 80 from 3 point land.
His career high was 8 points. He used to be terrible.
Today 15 points on 5 of 7 shooting. 3 of 5 from distance.
Credit to his coaches for turning that kid into a decent bench player.

What this team truly likes, and what we miss so dearly with boo, is a player who can break a defense. That player doesn’t have to be a guy who can dribble penetrate against a man defense. It can be a wing who reliably hits an outside look when the opponent doubles somewhere else. It can be a big who is damn near impossible to defend in the paint because once he gets the ball, it’s basically over. We don’t really have a guy like that on this roster.
I choose every game to compare talent. Do you think we could ever see a guy come off our bench and do that? When has that ever happened? And why do so many of our board members ask why other guys have great games against us?
Well certainly in today's game he was. Going forward he might be as well with Barney gone
I do this to argue a point with which you disagree, PWB. But I don’t call a fellow board member pathetic while doing so. I’ve put you on ignore before and it’s time again.
Correct. 46-38 and Wisconsin was not playing well at all. The open 3 missed was a real change in momentum for them. Make that 3 and it's 49-38. The place would have been electric.
Since I just did compare talent, I assume you aimed this at me. I think you made my point exactly.... every team we play has different guys who seem to step forward and take over in addition to their star players. (Or their star player is just at another level from our stars as in the Rutgers game). And though you focused on one guy for Wisconsin, they had multiple guys today who made big plays along the way to get them the win. We may get bright spots from individual players at times, but they don't get enough support from everybody else. In the end, you are what your record says you are and our record says we are pretty much where the pundits predicted us to be.
