Ty Berry looking buttery again is yuuuuuuge.

Boys are just out there having fun now. Great hard nosed, disciplined second half performance.

Honestly, while the first 10 minutes sucked, I feel like the comeback got the crowd engaged for the rest of the game, making it very fun until the end. Was great to see Ty have an excellent game, a few Nicholbombs, and Brooks being Brooks. Very fun overall, plus we’ll get home early enough to relax for the rest of this Sunday afternoon before work tomorrow.

85-60?? At the start of this thread it sounded as though NU was about to be blown out. What happened (I refuse to subscribe to Peacock)?

What happened is we are good.

We finished the game 81-43. Once NE stopped hitting 3s, we crushed them like grapes.

Cats extended their defense and forced them to go inside in the second half and they didn't adjust until it was too late and even when they did adjust, they kept turning it over, leading to a lot of nice offense from the Cats. They had to take off the press once we solved it, but this was GREAT prep for Penn State who pressed Purdue to death in a blowout win earlier this month. Entertaining game and a great crowd (big line of kids for post game autographs, too). This program has come a long way in three years. 2025 will be very challenging for this team and the one that succeeds it next year, but I think Collins has built something here that is sustainable.

Wow. A 25 point win over a mediocre team bumped us up 4 notches in KenPom to 45.

Definitely worth the (temporary) subscription fee.

Any idea if it works in Mexico? U Tube TV doesn't so I usually cancel when I leave in February and resubscribe in Aug. I just bought Peacock for these games but I see there is another March 8 I think.

Such a fun team to watch. The defense is tenacious and the offense is balanced and unselfish. They play the hot hand and any one of 4 players can be the game’s leading scorer. Go Cats!

I'm still scarred from paying for the Iowa Wrigley game in 2023 (shudder)

Here’s what I do. I subscribe to a VPN. Log in via a US server and access Fox Sports (BTN), Peacock and Wildcat Network as if am in the good old USA.

For some reason, I need to log out of the VPN to access certain sites, like the ESPN fantasy football site. Anyway, fiddling with the permutations gets it done.

Go Cats!
