Slow start 2 of 7 shots.

 

[Straus2018]

UMass Lowell has yet to make a field goal 6 minutes in, but Northwestern's offense doesn't look much better (3-9 from the field). Score is 6-3 Wildcats

 

[Straus2018]

Back to back threes from the River Hawks cut the lead to 11-9. They went 0-7 from the field over the first 7:34 of the game

 

[Ubermorgen]

U Mass up. Cats are stone cold from the field.

 

[TheC]

UMass Lowell is quicker and better shooters than we are. Great.

 

[Straus2018]

Make it 0-10 from deep, 21-15 UMass-Lowell with 6 to go in the half

Don't know if they are better shooters. NU has just been ice cold so far to start, missing wide open shots. I expect the law of averages to kick in eventually though

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Nasty

 

[Straus2018]

Northwestern is also 2-8 from the line

Make that 2-10. 25-18 with 4:34 remaining

 

[Straus2018]

Lindsey goes to the bench with his second foul, Tap also with 2 in the first half

 

[TheC]

How did we have such strong D two seasons ago and now are D frankly stinks?

 

[Straus2018]

Northwestern ends the half on a 12-5 run to cut the lead to 34-32. McIntosh came alive with a nice floater and turnaround jumper at the buzzer in the final minute

Ugly half. Offense seems to be working fine though, we just aren't making open shots. 1-13 from 3 and 7-16 from FT line. Just relax and put them in in the 2H.

 

[Ubermorgen]

I don't think D has been terrible. U Mass hitting some tough shots.

No Ash. I assume Demps ran point when Mac sat? Did he play next to Lindsey in a bigger backcourt?

 

[Straus2018]

Yep, Demps and Lindsey were the two guards when BMac was out

 

[Straus2018]

An Olah hook shot and a Demps three help the 'Cats pull ahead 40-37 with 15:55 to go
