Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Rutgers

[CatManTrue]

Martenelli needs a face up game. They are making it tough on him.

We knew this, and the game reinforces it again. Still love his effort and spunk.

 

[SDakaGordie]

He could have broken Mullins ankle!

 

[DaCat]

How is that a flagrant one but Langborg is flagrant two?

That’s a flagrant 5

 

[Jonny2TheP]

Pretty confused how that is a flagrant 1 and Langborg’s was a Flagrant 2. The guy on Rutgers was so much more intentional

 

[TheC]

How is that a flagrant one but Langborg is flagrant two?

My guess is they felt Langborg was going for the jewels

Guess NU found the backup for Martenelli. Mullins.

I must be old, whatever happened to the pull up jumper. Everyone tries to drive through 5 guys or jack a three..

 

[SmellyCat]

One key aspect of Berry's injury: other teams are forced to game-plan for Martinelli. They're ready for him now. I'm glad he stayed under the radar as long as he did.

Clayton needs work.

 

[SadCat]

The future is bright. Clayton looks like he could be the next star and lead the team to even greater heights!

 

[ballerog711]

Clayton needs work.

One thing I like is he gets pissed when he screws up and tries to make up for it. They whole team is like that. Nice to root for them.

 

[ThatkidfromHolland]

I’ve never seen a 7 footer have so many dunks blocked.

 

[GatoLouco]

Clayton is unplayable tonight

 

[bjm989]

Once again another great reason to DUNK the ball every time you can!

 

[ballerog711]

Clayton and MN missed dunks can't do that.

 

[cat inkansas]

Clayton needs work.

Not Matt's best effort tonight.

 

[PURPLECAT88]

Nicholson has to go up stronger.

 

[bjm989]

Clayton and MN missed dunks can't do that.

They should be cleaning William’s broken forearm out of the net right now.

 

[cat inkansas]

Clayton and MN missed dunks can't do that.

With exception of Mullins, our supporting cast hasn't helped much

 

[SadCat]

With exception of Mullins, our supporting cast hasn't helped much

It’s been a valiant effort against a much more talented Rutgers team on the road.

 

[SmellyCat]

Ugly ugly game tonight.

 

[zbag51]

Offense is falling apart. Can’t do anything

 

[Overly_Invested_Cat]

It ain’t over. This team has heart.

 

[GatoLouco]

We are going to lose this game on offense. Defense showed up, regardless of roster issues.

 

[nu greek]

NIT

 

[SadCat]

NIT

The NIT is nothing to sneeze at…unless you happen to have seasonal allergies.

 

[zbag51]

Still time. Let Boo do Boo things.

 

[GatoLouco]

That Hyatt 3 felt a lot like Christie’s 3 in Minneapolis.

 

[Gatabowl]

Ugly ugly loss.

 

[DaCat]

Damn refs

 

[ballerog711]

Boo was open and you had two timeouts, bad shot. He did it again.

 

[IGNORE2]

This one on the refs. We beat this team in the big conference tourney.

 

[ballerog711]

Hunger should sub Matt, Cliff might foul him on the 3.

 

[cat inkansas]

Ugly ugly loss.

Great effort. But, very winnable game. Needed everyone on the roster needed to contribute!

 

[Secho99]

Boo was open and you had two timeouts, bad shot. He did it again.

It's wild how good Brooks is at shooting a ball perfectly online and a foot short. And it's not even a late-game legs thing, he does it from the opening tip.

 

[SmellyCat]

Um. No foul?

 

[Gatabowl]

If Boo isn’t getting that call…

 

[JWalsh795]

There are no words other than the refs fixed this game.

 

[zbag51]

Was Boo fouled on that last shot?

 

[SDakaGordie]

We were cursed for that game. We had to play against Rutgers and the refs without our full team.
