Only 10 points but we need to get our stuff back together. We were looking very good. IU has hit a lot of hard shots and gotten hot. Good D can shut that down and turn the game back to our favor. Not over by a long shot.
NU vs. Indiana first-half thread
- Thread starter lou v
- Start date
Un-believable. Can't believe I'm saying this, maybe the goat curse has moved north a bit.
Honestly,never seen anything like that total switch of luck! Started with Brown missing the three!
Psychologically speaking,when you miss the long ball like Brown and Lumpkin, you let the other team back in there! Work the ball in the paint! Stupid play,stupid coaching! Play defense!
What's most concerning is the lack of toughness shown over the last couple of weeks.
Too many jump shots leading to long rebounds. We haven't been able to set out D and have gotten killed because of it.
Was watching the end of the half on mute on my phone as I was watching my son fall asleep. Let's just say he's awake now, though fortunately he has not learned any new words...yet.
Double digit lead reversed in last 5 minutes. Nothing like it in WGN's coach's memory. Did note though that the 50 footer was out of the ordinary and would not otherwise have been expected.
Some guys have to wake up. Are Lumpkin, Skelly Tap, Law & Brown listening? Collins needs give them a real dressing down.
Law's offense has really been poor; playing great defense. We need him to hit something.
That 3 point heave at the buzzer was sick, or made me sick since it capped a 22-0 run by the Hoosiers. The Cats were playing so well until the last 5-1/2 min and just collapsed before the half. They now need to dig out of a big hole.
This game sums up the season - just when you thought things were in control, choke city against some poor competition
No way the Cats are going to start the second half complacent as they might have but for the Hoosier's stunning run.
Per WGN - "NU did have control of it." "Plenty of time." "Need to come out strong."
Just like the little girl with the curl in the middle of her forehead, when we are good we are really really good, and when we are bad we are horrid.
Let's get back to being good. (WGN notes that this is the first game all year that the Cats did not have a free throw in the first half. More going to the basket suggested as a recipe for success in the second half.)

When you are going back to the drawing board in game 29, you're in big trouble.
No one was saying that when we were up 12. We had control. Games swing back and forth. We can still come back if we man up on D.
Hopefully someone puts the Heimlich maneuver up on the drawing board - that's what they need
Let's not overreact. He meant the drawing board for this game plan.
Foul on Indiana. NU finally getting some free throws. Now the lead only 40 to 36. 15:47 left in the game.
Collins and the Cats doing what they had to do. Now just keep it up.
