18 minutes before game time the students are filling up but the rest of the seats are pretty empty.

Not a lot of Michigan colors in the crowd… other than my wife. 👎🏻
Here’s one in purple for you. Go Cats!

Cats area little jittery and need to settle down. Nice assist from Mullins to Hunger.

Anyone who thought we were going to blow out Michigan must be a brand new NU fan

Nicholson passing and rebounding well. Let's see this team start shooting well though!

[well, he missed one easy offensive rebound, but still, three rebounds already]

Martinelli has five offensive boards already. Good thing he tipped one of those in, but he's keeping NU in it otherwise.

All things considered pretty damn gross start on both sides and hot shooting a bad Michigan team isn't usually capable of... and still being up 3 feels not too damn bad.

A’right, we played like 💩. So many mistakes on defense. Still up. Let’s grab this.

Nick Martinelli turning Northwestern into an offensive rebounding powerhouse is weirding me out

I really enjoy Stephen Bardo, and I have to say I laughed that he remembered full well that Dukes of Hazzard was on Friday nights.

And after saying Shannon was playing "downhill" about 20 times last night, he's kept that description down to I think only one instance tonight.

Yeah, I could see all the cats had jitters and tried way too hard at the start. They settled down by the end tho, so keep it up for the second half please.

The old NBA on NBC music still weirds me out a bit on FS1. I'm looking for Hakeem, Barkley and MJ out there.

We’re killing them in every area except shooting percentage. Keep it up, and we’ll win going away.

When a bad team keeps hitting their threes, scary things can happen
