NU vs. Indiana first-half thread

[lou v]

Well, this is likely the Cats' best chance for that Dance-clinching win in their remaining games. Jay Bilas said this morning that NU is already in, regardless, but you'd hate to go in losing four in a row and seven of nine. This is a big one and will make our Selection Sunday a lot more relaxed.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Are you in Bloomington?

 

[DaCat]

I'm going to assume we will win so just gonna sit back and enjoy.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Just caught Collins on WGN. He is expecting the Hoosiers to come out fast.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Senior day for Indiana, but they have no seniors to honor and the one on the team is not playing.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

First steal of the game by the Cats and on to score! Tied at 2-2.

 

[SmellyCat]

I doubt anyone has kept track of this, but surely Pardon has the NU single-season record for dunks.

 

[julescat]

we are a turnover machine.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Pardon tied the game at 4.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Good news, Mc back.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Mac is tough! Nice layup

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Scottie is back! I can feel it! We are dancing in two hours

 

[willycat]

we are a turnover machine.

Did you happen to notice that Mac got hit in the face and no call?

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Cat's first lead - 6 to 4. 15:08 to go and Collins has to be happy that Indiana was not able to get off to the early lead.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Did you happen to notice that Mac got hit in the face and no call?

Left eye with blood per WGN.

 

[Catsfan34]

Pardon came to play

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Pardon on his game. Now 8 to 6 for NU.

 

[willycat]

Pardon tied the game at 4.

And he was fouled twice.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Great to see NU answer with Cats own 3 to tie the game. Now Cats up again 13 to 11.

 

[TejasCat]

5 on 4 and we turn it over. Doh.

 

[julescat]

Did you happen to notice that Mac got hit in the face and no call?

yep. that was pretty bad but it's still a turnover.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Pardon me! Kid is a stud!

 

[Alaskawildkat]

11:16 to go in first half. NU 13, Indiana 11.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

5 on 4 and we turn it over. Doh.

Be patient and score there!

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Pardon me! Kid is a stud!

Memo to Indiana: "Pardon the interruption."

 

[DaCat]

Skelly alley oop slam from Law was excellent!

 

[eastbaycat99]

I like the way the Cats look so far. I think they will end up on the upside of this game. This is the best they have looked since Lindey went out.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Lindsey scores!

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Brown adds points - now 17- 14 NU.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Blackman gets 2nd foul.

 

[Catsfan34]

Scottieeeeeeeeeee

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Lindsey now has 6 points, more than all of last game. 21-14 now for the Cats. Biggest lead of the game for either team.

 

[ubercat]

Lindsey's game looks really healthy.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Scottie is back! We are dancing! I'm telling you know! What a difference a healthy Scottie makes! Can you say,Big Ten Champs and sweet sixteen! We are going far!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Did their center get hurt? He is good. What happened?

 

[TheC]

Long way to go, but we certainly look better tonight. The effort on D is much better.

 

[lou v]

Scottie is back! We are dancing! I'm telling you know! What a difference a healthy Scottie makes! Can you say,Big Ten Champs and sweet sixteen! We are going far!

Scottie is back and Wrassler is back!

 

[DaCat]

Lindsey is feeling it. Just what we needed!

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Lindsey's game looks really healthy.

A week of rest certainly had to help.

I have to admit that I didn't appreciate Scottie's smooth athleticism at the beginning of his career, but those last two dunks just illustrate how athletic he is. Everything he does is smooth so it doesn't look like he is trying that hard. He looks great tonight.
