Game Thread: Nebraska vs. Northwestern

[lou v]

Can the Cats take down the Huskers for the third time, or will this be the last game for this 2021-22 squad?

 

[GatoLouco]

I don’t know. But I saw MN shoot threes and it’s a thing of beauty. Still could not spot an elusive RY dunk.

 

[JournCat]

Tonight’s NU warm-up shirts say in block letters “NO QUIT.” Thinking of adding a comma to one shirt and sending it to Collins’ office.

 

[jensberg]

Horrible shooting display so far but we're still tied which is positive

 

[GatoLouco]

Every single shot we have taken was open. Every. Single. One.

 

[DaCat]

Glad it's Neb but we gotta step it up.

 

[JournCat]

Hummel is destroying our defense and it’s hard to refute any of his criticism. We rarely look this out of position.

Yeah we’re totally lost and doesn’t seem like we came to play at all.

 

[Arlcatsfan]

Better stop turning the ball over.Some of these passes have no hope.Nebraska much more aggressive than we are.

 

[DaCat]

Buie must still be feeling the lingering effects of the flu, cause he is playing awful. Turnover machine.

 

[GatoLouco]

We complain about missing layups, and bunnies specifically. UNL has missed three very very bunny shots

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

It’s looks like we’ll lose by 20. Visions on the last football game of the year where we clearly packed it in.

 

[EagerFan]

This is sounding terrible on the radio.

 

[GatoLouco]

It feels that way. No intensity whatsoever

 

[catcrazy]

Looks like we are tanking. Do we get a high draft pick for this (LOL)

 

[Vassar69]

It’s Nicholson time, baby. If Collins would just play him, maybe he wouldn’t be getting his brains beat in on the Wednesday night game in the Big Ten Tourney

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Nope, putrid on both ends so far.

 

[JournCat]

We may be lucky to get to halftime down 20. Just a lifeless, embarrassing performance.

 

[catfans5]

Depressing. I think going out and filling the gas tank will cheer me up!

 

[purplejustice]

Turnover after turnover. Terrible.

 

[DaCat]

This game is a complete indictment of Collins. There should be no remaining doubt that he needs to be replaced.

 

[Arlcatsfan]

Buie has been taken completely out of the game by the physical play.Lackadaisical and lazy play on both sides of the ball.Just terrible.We will be lucky if this game isn’t over by halftime.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Looks like playground ball on offense. No idea what we are trying to do.

 

[SDakaGordie]

Our guys can’t get open on offense and can’t stay with guys on defense.

 

[peatymeanis]

Our guys can’t get open on offense and can’t stay with guys on defense.

The vaunted Nebraska talent advantage is too much

 

[SDakaGordie]

Perfect example of why we suck - Verge just creates offense by himself and is too fast for our guys.

 

[ParisCat_rivals]

This will be our 5th straight one-and-done in the BTT. Disgraceful.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Our guys can’t get open on offense and can’t stay with guys on defense.

Effort often determines the Victor in games between two poor teams. Pete isn’t coming off the court until he fouls out if I am the Coach.

 

[SDakaGordie]

Ask Wisconsin if Nebraska has any talent.

 

[HawkCat]

We are playing like a team that wants it all to be over so it can go home.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Perfect example of why we suck - Verge just creates offense by himself and is too fast for our guys.

Went right past Beran with ease. Then RY is getting destroyed on the pick and roll. No interior defense at all. Try MN, nothing to lose. Boo is struggling to keep anyone in front of him and on O we stand around the perimeter with lazy cuts and weak screens.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

The vaunted Nebraska talent advantage is too much

You are right Meaty. This is all about effort and Nebraska isn’t deep enough to destroy us on talent. Illinois is. Weak weak weak first half. We’ll see if any pride is left or they have in fact packed it in.

 

[lunker35]

This will be our 5th straight one-and-done in the BTT. Disgraceful.

And outside of the tourney year CCC has not made any post season. Time to move on.

 

[GatoLouco]

Effort often determines the Victor in games between two poor teams. Pete isn’t coming off the court until he fouls out if I am the Coach.

I was thinking the exact same thing like 5 minutes from half time. Nance is staying in there until he pukes if I’m the coach.

10 rows up. Very close to the court. It’s very obvious that there’s no effort.

 

[lunker35]

Ask Wisconsin if Nebraska has any talent.

Their best player didn’t play.

 

[PurpleWhiteBoy]

In our 7 conference wins, our halftime scores have been

+17, +6, -4, +18, +18, +5, +3

In our 13 losses, we've been

-19, +6, -16, -4, -14, -5, -3, -12, -6, +0, -12, +5, +7,

 

[peatymeanis]

Ask Wisconsin if Nebraska has any talent.

Do you think NU has the worst talent in the conference?

 

[ubercat]

We have more turnovers than baskets

 

[Vassar69]

Guys, I am starting to think Chris Collins’ Northwestern tenure might not have been a great audition to be K’s successor at Duke…

 

[SDakaGordie]

Their best player didn’t play.

Right - for both teams.
