NU vs. Indiana second-half thread

[lou v]

NU was up 26-14, Scottie had 9 points and looked like his old self...and then the roof caved in. Indiana went on a 22-0 run to close the half up 36-26. These scoring droughts are becoming a nightly occurrence as NU didn't score over the last 5:30. The offense just stopped moving the ball. IU is 6-12 from 3, while NU is 2-11.

We'll see if NU can get off the canvas and launch a comeback.

Man, Vic is struggling. He's 1-6. When is the last time he looked good offensively?

 

[Figrating]

Getting closer. Make a few more FTs and we're w/in 1.

 

[Alvious]

I hear March Madness is overrated anyway.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Cats back to playing their game.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Cats down 4 with Cats having the ball and now draw the foul on Morgan to give Cats chance to get within one. Now 40 to 39.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Great defense by Cats. Indiana turnover number 13. Cats have a chance to tie game.

hopefully you'll eat those words.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

40-40, now Cats lead 41-40 after Law's free throws.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Cats lead by 3 again. Cats with the ball. 11:58 to go.

 

[ubercat]

First the Hoosiers, now us. This game has a case of the runs.

 

[SmellyCat]

I think Cats are in the bonus now. I count seven fouls by Indiana. Let's take it to the Hoosiers and make those uncontested freebies.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

10:53 to go and NU fouled again with the lead still 3. Crowd sounds once again muted. Cats can pull this one out if they play smart.

Sounds like my stomach when watching this team.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Nice comeback! Be patient

 

[Alaskawildkat]

47 - 42 NU with 10:50 to go.

 

[TejasCat]

We are in the bonus, gotta be aggressive on offense

 

[Alaskawildkat]

3rd foul on Lumpkin. Now 49:42 with Cats up by 7.

9 and one half remaining with Cats now up by 6.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

3rd foul on Skelley now. Indiana edging back in at 49 - 45,

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Mc finally gets a 3 to go back up by 7, only to be answered by indiana.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Solid defense all second half! Come on boys

 

[Alaskawildkat]

54:48, Thanks to Scottie, Cats up by 6 with 7:12 to go. Now 6:56 to go with the time out. This one is headed to the wire.

 

[DaCat]

Indy shooting poorly. We need to get more separation. Love the way we have responded so far.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Go Dererk

 

[TejasCat]

Collins paying the starters heavy minutes this half.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

4th foul on Lumpkin. Staying in.

 

[ubercat]

Collins paying the starters heavy minutes this half.

shhhhhh...

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

I love Pardon in the paint

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Lindsey still playing with energy. 4th foul on Morgan now.

 

[ubercat]

Make 'em, Dererk.

 

[Hungry Jack]

Smart move by Skelly. IU vulnerable inside.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

55:48, 5:03 to go. Cats now lead by 5.

 

[ubercat]

I think I'm running out of bourbon.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

6 point NU lead with 4:20 to go.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

That was a charge

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Mc gets Cats up 8!

 

[TejasCat]

So,it's ok now to just barrel over someone to the hoop? Horrible call

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Ref missed it

I've been posting by myself on the first half thread and thought everyone else had gone to bed.
