Second-half thread for NU vs. Wisconsin

[lou v]

Well, Northwestern has its work cut out for it in the second half after putting up a season-low 21 points to trail by 16. It looks like the Cats are a little tired, playing their third game in three days and coming off of the late game last night.

NU had ONE assist in the first half and shot 26% (7-27) in the first half. That tells you all you need to know right there. They need to put together one of those runs they've had the last couple games to get back in it.

 

[Catreporter]

I thought we got some good shots early on in the first half but they did not fall and after that we just seemed a step slow and Wisconsin pounced. Regardless of the second half, great effort in DC by the Cats!

When was the last time Sanjay made a 3? Honest question. I'm struggling to recall it. He's in a slum with those. He was making them earlier in the year.

Get some rest for before the NCAA tournament

 

[NU Houston]

Happ is money from the free throw line. Go figure.

 

[Ubermorgen]

Rutgers on Thursday night, Sanjay was 1-1 on 3's.

Yep, get some rest for the one & done.

At least the Rutgers game. he hit a 3 from the corner as part of the 31-0 run.

That's what Iowa does as I recall.

 

[phatcat]

Well anyway that was fun.

 

[willycat]

hey hans, my boy, how are those DONE hawkeyes?

 

[DaCat]

Bad shooting + bad rebounding = blow out loss. We're on that path. Down 18 with 11 minutes to go.

 

[NU Houston]

Just not our day. Tired legs mean flat shots and poor rebounding.

The guys are tired. Understandable, given that they played late games the last two nights.

 

[TejasCat]

Put Charlie in

 

[Fitz51]

I'm in no way disappointed. It's been a fun week. Now, onto the first time Selection Sunday has ever mattered.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Not done, slim hope at NCAA (depending on how other bubble teams do). However, even with NIT they will likely be playing longer than mildcats. Now, don't you have a butt whooping to watch vs a team that Hawks beat recently.

My favorite part of this year game was sitting right behind Io-a bench when the students chanted just like Football. Go back to your own board Hans Christian Anderson.

People who go onto other team boards to troll are just stupid. I *really* hope no one here, even the worst of our posters, do it.

it's been a fun season and I'd rather take a regular season win over wisky then one in a tournament that means very little

Hey, do you happen to think that conference tournaments mean very little?

must be very little to do in corn fields this time of year. now go into your mothers storm cellar and watch porno.

Getting butts kicked in any fashion is not helpful for the program. These kids need their confidence. This was a nationally televised game. Nothing good from this, sorry. Michigan had an even more difficult schedule, but they had legs. Hopefully there is something to be learned from this, but overall this is not good.

the entire concept of holding a meaningless tournament is what's not good.

Yep, looked like Io-a today. Oh well, at least we didn't have to watch THAT all season.

Not trying to make excuses, but Michigan played the first game yesterday and we played the last. That game wasn't over until after 11pm last night, and then they had to be ready again this afternoon. Flush it, as Fitz would say.

Hans has left the house. Who is next? I am in a serious anti-troll mood.

 

[willycat]

Funny, you think I live in a rural area. You're such a pansy.

hey tough guy or girl, where were you the last couple of days? could care less where you live, you're still an A-hole.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

I'm so happy that was your "favorite" part. I'm laughing at the 30 point blowout!

Good for you troll. Tell me how many the mighty NIT bound hawks lost to NU this year? Let me help, 89-54. Moron. You are the worst type of Troll. You come here to gloat AFTER we get waxed and act like you team is actually competitive. Earth to Hans, your team sucked this year. Francis is an average coach at best, you lost in football in your own house, and you campus in the middle of God forsaken nowhere. At least have the decency to attack NU when you actually are respectable. Go have anther PBR in the can and wash that tobacco stained wife beater!

Perhaps you meant well, but I beat you to the punch.

It's ok to take some joy in where we are right now, you know.

Today was a garbage game. So what?

 

[D_C_B]

At least the Rutgers game. he hit a 3 from the corner as part of the 31-0 run.

Thanks. Delirium-induced memory loss for me, it appears.

Then I'm really stupid! I love to troll the Illinois fans on the Scout board. It's my calling in life.

I think there should be an exception to the rule for the Illini and Iowa boards. I only lurk, but both have some of the most delusional fans that I have come across. Stark contract to the other BIG fan boards, though they all have there share of Wrasslers and Felis.
