NU-Dayton second-half thread

[lou v]

You know, NU turned in a half like that against DePaul. It's just DePaul, we thought. But tonight. Wow.

The Cats have FIVE guys with at least 5 points, led by Lindsey, Lumpkin and Taphorn with 8 apiece. Dayton's Charles Cooke, who averages 20 ppg, has ONE at the half. Dayton is 4-for-28 from the floor, and it ain't because they're off tonight -- NU is playing ferocious defense.

 

[Deeringfish]

They are killing us in the Free Throws and steals

 

[Deeringfish]

I will be satisfied if we coast and win by 10.

Why exhaust yourself and not play the second string. The Second string are BB players too.

 

[DaCat]

You know Dayton will make a run at NU. Let's see how well we weather the storm.

 

[lou v]

Dayton is getting hot from 3. After watching the DePaul and Chicago State games, I gotta admit I'm getting a little nervous. Though I usually feel like that, regardless.

 

[Deeringfish]

I'm not nervous, I have spell check and Gin.

 

[TejasCat]

2 horrible fouls calls on Skelly. Clean block and a very questionable moving screen

 

[TheC]

Dayton is expending a ton of energy here. If we can keep up the D and rebounding and keep a 14+ point lead, they will tire out and we'll stretch things back out.

Ticky tack calls. Hope refs aren't getting rabbit ears from the obnoxious Dayton fans.

 

[Deeringfish]

Yeah TAP

 

[TheC]

Couple 3s in a row for Dayton. We need a bucket and then get back to playing D.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

We have excellent Shooters I can't wait till Derek is healthy and gets back

 

[Fitz51]

We're in the midst of the Dayton run. Uncontested threes. Best to just cut this off right now.

And there's a botched inbounds and a foul on a three. Ugh.

 

[Deeringfish]

I don't believe that Dayton can get back in this.

 

[julescat]

I think that was just McIntosh's 8th turnover. Not a good game for BMac, again

 

[DaCat]

Lindsey is having a bit of a struggle. He needs to get untracked.

 

[TheC]

We still can't break the press. How about trying a different press break?

 

[Fitz51]

Ok. Now I'm worried.

 

[Hungry Jack]

This is not going well. Standing still on offense

 

[Deeringfish]

Dayton has way more fans in the crowd

 

[julescat]

gagging

 

[TejasCat]

We have to attack, way too passive on offense, and wait until 5 on shot clock

 

[Deeringfish]

They are f=getting inside and that is their game.

 

[DaCat]

Feels like an away game.

 

[lou v]

NU's offense is completely out of synch. Scoochie is giving BMac fits and everyone else is standing around.

 

[KnottSlim]

Apparently Dayton doesn't foul.

 

[Deeringfish]

Ca n't hit the free throws.

 

[julescat]

why is mcintosh crying for a foul on that missed scoop? nobody within 4 feet of him. bad.

 

[Fitz51]

Feels like an away game.

Per my other thread, I'm here, and crowd is about 90/10 Dayton.

 

[TheC]

I don't understand why we can't make an adjustment to their defense. We are playing so passive.

 

[DaCat]

Per my other thread, I'm here, and crowd is about 90/10 Dayton.

Got to crush them and send them home crying.

 

[Deeringfish]

Law got failed

 

[CatManTrue]

We simply can't finish at the rim in the second half. Dunk the daggum ball, Law! You've got the hops.

 

[julescat]

This would be the all-timer.

 

[TejasCat]

why are we throwing the ball to BMac in the corner with 2 guys on him?

we aren't gonna lose this game?

 

[Fitz51]

Oh, man. This would be one for the NU ages. And we have a lot in that bucket.

 

[Deeringfish]

That was a terrible not call. Law got killed there. Two times in a roll.

 

[DaCat]

Frickin spineless refs! Letting Dayton fans influence them.

 

[CatManTrue]

Law got failed

Yes he did. And the short comings of the spellchecker are exposed.

 

[Deeringfish]
