Angelo trying his first career start, Hope he pops off.

Great assist, poor shot. He’ll get there.

 

[PURPLECAT88]

Good energy to start. More empty seats than usual, but looks like a 90% purple crowd.

 

[ThatadultfromHolland]

Great assist, poor shot. He’ll get there.

a little amped up on that shot. He’ll settle in.

Three pointers not falling again for us

Three pointers not falling again for us

Hard to get ‘em to fall when they’re not touching the rim….or the backboard…or the net.

 

[DaCat]

Sluggish start. Berry missed a wide open bunny at the basket.

Three pointers not falling again for us

We earn / they give us turnovers, but we can’t capitalize - same old story. And Berry has been truly awful on D and O thus far.

 

[TejasCat]

Same story again, they make open 3s, we miss (airball) open 3s

 

[CappyNU]

The 'Gelo and-1 was excellent, but lots of sloppy execution on offense otherwise.

Same story again, they make open 3s, we miss (airball) open 3s

Some word that starts with a T is the difference.

TyBerry?

 

[ThatadultfromHolland]

Something that might be going unnoticed: Ty and his experience on those out of bounds plays. Dude gets open and makes some nice cuts. When he’s hitting his shot makes you respect those cuts more and opens things up for everyone.

Reese is not afraid of Fitz.

Nor should he be.

Plays defense like the wacky inflatable tube guy

 

[DaCat]

Ty warming up now, two 3 pointers in a row

 

[SmellyCat]

Shocker in Minny - Minnesota beats Michigan in OT.

What is the Hunger injury, does anyone know?

 

[TheC]

I’m so sick of these BIG refs making us play against 8 guys!

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Maryland defended perfectly on that possession and should've had the stop but the 'Cats got a lucky bounce then passed it into a corner for an open 3. I love those sorts of points.

 

[SmellyCat]

Glad they called that travel on Queen - 9 times out of 10 that's a foul on NU.

He literally took 5 steps! But I hear you.

 

[SimpsonElmwood]

What is the Hunger injury, does anyone know?

Collins said it was a minor foot thing. He said Hunger might play today during the Sunday postgame press conference.

 

[SimpsonElmwood]

He literally took 5 steps! But I hear you.

That’s what I counted too.

 

[catfans5]

Maryland perfect on free throws. CC has to play a lot of players. Maryland rotates a ton of players. Reese never stops bitching. I thought Queen was going to belt him.

Big Ciarvino contingent here tonight. Half time show sucks. Where is Red Panda when you need her?

 

[DaCat]

Amazing 38-37 lead at halftime. Berry is our leading scorer with 10.

 

[PURPLECAT88]

Shocker in Minny - Minnesota beats Michigan in OT.

It’s never a shocker to lose on the road in the Big Ten.

 

[SmellyCat]

He literally took 5 steps! But I hear you.

Sure, but part of you thought they’d call a foul anyway.

 

[PURPLECAT88]

We’ve gone 9 deep, but no Mullins so far. Hope he’s not hurt.

 

[SmellyCat]

I could've sworn we saw a minute or so from Mullins, but I always get 20 and 24 mixed up and maybe I was seeing Windham, who of course definitely played.

 

[DaCat]

Sure, but part of you thought they’d call a foul anyway.

Yep. I’m still having PTSD from Penn State.

 

[DaCat]

Definitely no Mullins in the first half. I’m guessing an injury.

"Nicholson is not a great free throw shooter".

[DaCat]

Barnhizer seems off the last couple of games.

 

[CappyNU]

He looked pretty ok on that dunk!

 

[SimpsonElmwood]

Barnhizer is definitely not right.

 

[DaCat]

Nice slam.
