Northwestern (10-3, 1-1 Big Ten) kicks off the new year with a road game at Penn State (11-2, 1-1 Big Ten). The game will tip off at 6 pm CT and air on Peacock.
 
Already two fouls on Ty.
0-for-3 quickly too. Is this one of his bad games? He's not going to score any time soon. Already Windham/Mullins in after Leach had two turnovers to go with Berry's two fouls.
 
Slow start but hopefully they'll settle in
 
Sweet block, but nothing else is going right yet.
 
Refs are really giving PSU the go ahead with their out of control drives into contact on offense and reaching in and arm grabbing on D. Gonna get old if they don't start calling that crap.
 
Barnhizer hasn't even been close to the basket this game. He got in the paint once and traveled. PSU's defense is GOOD.
 
Is it just me, or are these refs travel happy? Not complaining, as it seems to be favoring us so far

Other than the two on Brooks.

There was a lot of talk about pace and who will dictate it. Certainly looks like NU's pace so far. Just gotta get to the half with no more fouls on Leach, Berry and especially Barnhizer.
 
Bad TO by Windham, but I'm still liking his game tonight. He doesn't lack confidence.
 
Angelo killing it offensively, but the way the refs are favoring PSU I think we run out of players ten minutes in to the second half.

It really is a missing piece. If we had a guy who could knock down 3s, it would just transform our offense.
We do. He's on the bench with three fouls (yes, I know he's part of that 2-for-13).
 
Nice contribution by Jello. Need to minimize the ball handling by Leach. He should be a strictly catch and shoot player.
 
This game could be much worse than a 3 point halftime deficit given the foul trouble, the turnovers, the frosh PT and the poor shooting.
Don't forget the team not shooting well either!

Honestly, it was a pretty terrible half by most accounts, but they were lucky that Penn State wasn't particularly good either.
