Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Wisconsin

[mshelton33]

After a win over 12th-seed Minnesota, 13th-seed Northwestern takes on 5th-seed Wisconsin today at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The warmup clock is rolling and on pace for a tip at 1:37 pm CT. The game will air on BTN.

The key question heading into this game... did our guys get any sleep last night?

 

[GatoLouco]

Collins talking to officials already after a questionable call in Martinelli.

 

[Deeringfish]

I thought this was going to be on Peacock too. Any ideas on how to watch or listen?

[SmellyCat]

Berry seems to be rushing his shots a little.

 

[rogerkim]

on BTN now, I think. I'm listening on the Varsity app to Dave Eanet's radio broadcast

I’m watching on mute- Why is Martinelli wearing 66?

Wardrobe malfunction

His jersey got ripped

 

[GatoLouco]

Way too many 2nd chance pts

 

[DaCat]

More ticky tack fouls called on us by the refs. Wiskey already in the bonus after 10 minutes.

 

[DaCat]

Our rebounding sucks

 

[Deeringfish]

I'm reading the play by play on the yahoo sports NU page. Reads like the Cats are playing pretty sloppy but it is tough to tell.

 

[lunker35]

Gilmore gets away with a ton. I wish they called him a bit tighter. He's very physical but really could have 3-4 fouls right now.

At least they didn’t call his flop against Mart

 

[FeralFelidae]

It's really refreshing, again, to have announcers that actually like the 'Cats. They've had lots of nice things to say about the 'Cats all tournament.

 

[SimpsonElmwood]

They are letting them play in some instances and calling it tight on others.

 

[Deeringfish]

Watching the ESPN Game tracker. It's a tiny bit better than the Yahoo one.

 

[DaCat]

Those last two minutes of the half were ugly. The game might have gotten away from us there. Very frustrating to watch.

 

[2388bb]

Offense looks dead today.

 

[SDakaGordie]

Free throw attempts are a key difference.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Gotta get Clayton in there more.

I find official one to be pretty good: https://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=584074
(unfortunately, it notes things like 0 pts last 2:57)

 

[Catreporter]

Other guys gotta make shots. They were doing it for awhile but Wisky is all over Berry and Martinelli and daring other guys to beat them.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

You can’t play Mullins if he bypasses wide open looks. Take the shot

 

[lunker35]

WHAT IN THE WORLD WOULD DID NICK DO TO GET AN F1 FOUL!?!?! I'M SO SICK OF THIS ABSOLUTE TRASH!!!!!!!!!

 

[FeralFelidae]

These refs...

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Garbage call. Dude literally ran off the bench and provoked it further.

 

[lunker35]

Something has to be done. This can't keep happening.

 

[Arlcatsfan]

Total B.S. If they want NU to leave the BIG just say so.

 

[IMC Cat]

I'm not watching, what happened?

 

[EagerFan]

Cats just look tired, their shots are flat and their feet are slow. The refs are eating them up.

 

[EagerFan]

Yup, refs put WI in the bonus for the rest of the game. I expect half the starters will "foul out" before the 4 minute mark.

I wonder if Collins is getting the message?

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

KJ needs to take care of the ball better!

 

[SDakaGordie]

Well…Klesmit traveled before his “step-back” 3-pointer…lol (that traveling means much anymore).

 

[Deeringfish]

What did Crowl do to be T'd up?

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

I am ok if one of our players puts him in the front row on his next drive. What a bunch of asses on this Whisky team

 

[SDakaGordie]

What did Crowl do to be T'd up?

Acted like an ass.

 

[Arlcatsfan]

What did Crowl do to be T'd up?

Said a derogatory remark directed at TY after his block on TY'S shot
