Depaul vs NU - 1st Half Thread

[vmloza34]

Anthony Gaines is sitting out tonights game with an "upper body injury".
Ive noticed since the beginning of the season he's had his shoulder taped. Could be something that lingers the entire season.

I will comment when the new starting lineup is announced.

 

[vmloza34]

New Starting Lineup:
PG: Boo Buie
SG: AJ Turner
SF: Miller Kopp
PF: Pete Nance
C: Ryan Young

Freshman Boo Buie with his first start!
AJ Turner replacing the injured Gaines.

3-1 nu on wgn

6-3 cats

Charlie Moore does not like to play defense

 

[Alan Smithee_rivals156293]

That's Jitim behind the Cats bench, isn't it?

 

[GatoLouco]

We were on pace of allowing 54 per 40 minutes. So, naturally, we switched to zone

 

[GatoLouco]

Zone lasted 2:30, allowed 8 points. Good decisions

 

[Mr Wickerpark]

Please stop zone. How many times has collins played zone and got us blown out?

 

[torque-cat]

Boo has looked like out best player since the BC game. Who’d a guessed that?

 

[GatoLouco]

Collins seems more interested in looking like a mad dog barking at the players

 

[LansingCat_rivals315357]

We had a long scoreless streak there and it was Bouie who broke it . Go Boo!

 

[bjm989_rivals]

Beautiful no look pass by Boo

 

[Titanium999]

Bouie is insane!

 

[bjm989_rivals]

Buie is killing it. Wow. Fun to watch.

 

[Alan Smithee_rivals156293]

Buie is killing it. Wow. Fun to watch.

He might just get some playing time.

The other freshmen Jones is also putting together a great night !

Agree. He had a really nice drive and score for someone his size.

Jones is such a nice athlete, can really run the floor and use his body to take contact.

 

[NURoseBowl]

Whether or not we win tonight, even a dolt like me can see the upside this team has as it matures over the next couple of years. Hope PBJ and Christie are taking note.

 

[bjm989_rivals]

We gotta start D-ing up and rebounding.

 

[bjm989_rivals]

They seem to be calling cheap fouls both ways.

 

[Alan Smithee_rivals156293]

That was a ridiculous, reckless, risky and perfect pass from Buie ahead to Kopp.

 

[Alan Smithee_rivals156293]

Really good response after being without Gaines, down 11(!) and Nance in foul trouble the whole way.

 

[DaCat]

Solid half by NU. Stick with the man defense please. 18 for Buie and 12 for Kopp at the half.

DePaul is big and athletic underneath much like MSU. Our young guys are overpowered down there but also we don’t do a good job of boxing out. Buie is making up for a lot of our weaknesses. I haven’t seen an NU player create his own offense like this since Juice late his senior year or Geno in mid-90s.

 

[bjm989_rivals]

Jones needs to watch the ball into his hands a bit more. He’ll get there.
