Second-half thread for NU vs. Minnesota

[lou v]

Well, NU can't be too upset about being down 40-34 at the half. They withstood a virtuoso performance by Nate Mason (17 points on 6-8 shooting and six assists) and the Gophers' red-hot shooting from the outside (6-10 on 3s).

Offensively, NU got off to a good start but a period of three turnovers in four possessions allowed Minnesota to go on an 11-2 run and take the lead they haven't given up.

BMac has 11 points and Law 10 for NU. They need to find a solution for Mason -- he is torching that zone.

What is the solution? I’d put Gaines,Scottie,or Ash on him

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Law looks tired! We need him in second half

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Nice play by Skelly

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Stupid move by Pardon

 

[catcrazy]

The foul on Pardon was BS. Totally terrible call. They also goaltended in one of their outback’s. The reffing blows. We need to turn it up and beat these guys and the rape protector Richard Pitino

Yep, that was an egregious call.

They're getting frustrated. Keep at them. Win.

Mac getting destroyed on defense

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Ash got us back to a one point deficit! Keep Ash in there! We can win! Get Pardon and Gaines,Law,and Lindsey in there! Mac is getting hammered on defense! Bench em

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

This game threads are Wrassler talking to himself. Back to the game.

 

[Hungry Jack]

Yep, that was an egregious call.

Pitino is a weasely little $h!t

 

[Figrating]

Dog fight city.

 

[TheC]

I hope Collins recruits a lights out shooter next year. This team would be so much better if it had a guy that could make shots.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Ref screwed us there! Ash was playing tight defense! What a joke

Uh, have you seen Miller Kopp?

It was bad defense and a dumb foul 25 feet from the basket with the shot clock winding down.

 

[freewillie07]

Minnesota in the bonus with 11:43 to play. Home cooking. Awful reffing.

 

[TheC]

Uh, have you seen Miller Kopp?

Not yet.

Life has been so much better for me since I put him on ignore and no longer have to endure his Andy Kaufmanesque performance art routine. I know some people think he is genuine, but I don’t buy it. It is trolling.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Solid defense! Falzon looks better on defense.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Not yet.

We fought back! Get Pardon the ball in the paint!

Exciting game! Sorry for the intrusion! Let’s party and git the win! I’m jacked up

 

[TheC]

Fun game. Better job defending this half and consequently we're in front now.

 

[Figrating]

Just GO CATS!

 

[DaCat]

Cats are showing some toughness on D. One of the biggest drawbacks of watching NU play vs Minny is having to watch Little Pitino prancing around the sideline. Worse than Chase Daniels’ Mom.

Mac looking good

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Scottie got fouled there! Just like the Purdue game

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

I’m ticked off! Scottie got fouled! Big swing there

 

[Figrating]

Good thing the ref was looking at Pardon.

Wrassler is real. NU alum. Hard core fan. But he is crazy and def trolling. Have you seen his biceps?

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Dang! Law got burned!

 

[Figrating]

DO IT, CATS!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Way to go Falzon

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Smart play down the stretch!

 

[NU Houston]

Nice win!

 

[freewillie07]

THERE WE GO. GO CATS.

Time to enjoy First Dance.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Nice win!

Mac was clutch down the stretch! We played smart ,poised hoops down the stretch!

 

[Fitz51]

Hey, hey! Up from 90 to 89 in KenPom!

 

[NU Houston]

Hey, hey! Up from 90 to 89 in KenPom!

Hey, a win's always better than a loss. The Cats played a nice game tonight. I'll take it.

Yep. Always nice to get a road win. The team is definitely playing better the last few games.
