Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Oregon

[mshelton33]

Northwestern (13-11, 4-9 Big Ten) is still on the west coast and will play at Oregon (16-8, 5-8 Big Ten) tonight. The game has a 10 pm CT tip off and will air on BTN.

Ducks have had a rude welcome to the conference and have lost their last five straight games, but the Wildcats are without star players Brooks Barnhizer and Jalen Leach for the rest of the season.

This thing on?

Take care of the ball better and things would be amazing right now.

For those keeping track and who extrapolated so much out of 1 game by a guy who was being redshirted, for the first 5 minutes:

• 0-2 shooting
• 2 turnovers
• 2 brain farts on defense. One out of position gives a corner 3, the other, after turning over does not immediately run back on defense and gives up fast break

The point is not to crucify the kid, the point is that if he was 1/2 as ready as it seems the majority believed after 1 game, he would not have been red shirting.

I’d prefer seeing a freshmen learning from mistakes. But freshmen, more often than not, are just on a much shorter leash than others.

Martinelli limping at the last whistle now too.

Hunger should not play, ever.

God this offense

This game keeps getting worser and worser.

I will never give up on my Cats, but…

I’ve got work in the morning.

This is pitiful no offense at all. Martinelli tries to score against the 7-footer and gets blocked. Our guards shoot a bunch of bricks. Mullins back to reality 0 for two from three

I don't think next year's point guard is on this year's team.

 

[Baz=Heisman]

I don't think next year's point guard is on this year's team.

It’s going to be a grad transfer with KJ and Jake West as 2 and 3.

Or 5

 

[FeralFelidae]

FINALLY got a run going. Let's get this below 10...

 

[SimpsonElmwood]

Windham! Good for him.

 

[MC_Cat]

I like that he's not picking up his dribble 40 feet from the basket.

 

[rwhitney014]

I realize we the fans aren’t the primary consideration here, but four prime games on Peacock tonight as well as a 11/10 Central start cannot maximize the number of people watching Big Ten games.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Windham! Good for him.

He is playing well on offense. Much more aggressive.

 

[SimpsonElmwood]

Let’s get a stop here!

 

[SmellyCat]

He is playing well on offense. Much more aggressive.

I am ok with him being the guy trying to generate offense. Let’s see what he can do.

 

[GatoLouco]

Man the Oregon #3 dude is fast. Not just fast, really really fast.

 

[MC_Cat]

Offense light years better than 1st half but man the three and-nones are ugh.

3 chances to get it to 9 or 10 with an and-1 and they miss all 3.
