Second-half thread for NU vs. TT

[lou v]

Other than Scottie Lindsey (17 points) and his 3/4-court shot at the buzzer, let’s just forget about that first half.

If we start this half like the last one, I'd like to see a heapin' helpin' of this lineup. Let 'em get real minutes without fear of getting pulled immediately.

1 Brown
2 Ash
3 Gains
4 Rap
5 Benson

1 point from our starters not named Scotty.

Watching BMac warm up for 2nd half. He's not making anything.

Bench scoring illness apparently contagious.

Nice to see falzon playing with some intensity.

Not a lot of movement without the ball. Fatigue?

The intensity differential between these 2 teams is pretty stark. TT definitely deserves this game.

‪We are at the under-16 timeout of the second half and BMac is still scoreless. He’s 0-5 from the floor with 3 assists and 5 turnovers.‬

Didn't he make a couple FTs?

You’re right. Thanks. I meant that he didn’t score a FG. He finally got it on a floater with 11:57 left in the game.

Am here at arena and it’s a tough game to watch. Very little energy. Shots not falling. Lots of fouls. Terrible officiating (both ways).

 

[benoitdenizetl]

Falzon may be injured? We need him on floor this half.

 

[benoitdenizetl]

Oh, here he comes.

 

[JournCat]

I worry that a game like this provides the template for others. Sell out on McIntosh with size and speed, and assume no one else can create their own shot.

 

[VirginiaWildcat]

For crying out loud...what are we accomplishing leaving the starters out there??

I turned it off! Nasty \plain nasty

 

[TheC]

A$$ kicking.

 

[WildcatfanChris17]

Flush this one down. Move onto Sacred Heart.

"We want to win championships."

Sounds far-fetched right about now.

Would you prefer he didn't say that?

 

[freewillie07]

Would you prefer he didn't say that?

No, that's fine.

But I've been critical of Fitz stating his goal of competing for championships and falling flat early on. So that criticism goes toward Collins too.

I'd prefer it not to sound so far-fetched.

 

[Hungry Jack]

Welcome to the big time, Cats.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

As I said two weeks ago, we fans were way over our ski’s with predicting final eight and a lot of B1G routes. We will rebound, but our D is putrid and we have zero off the bench so far.

 

[CatManTrue]

No, that's fine.

Hopefully the basketball team responds as well to being unranked or having expectations reset as the football team has this year. This does not even look like a NIT team at this point.
