I GOT MY T SHIRT TODAY!!

 

[TheC]

Not rebounding

Cats against the world 51

Do these announcers know the difference between Kropp and Martinelli?

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Not rebounding

That was a problem at times in the previous game, too.

 

[IMC Cat]

To be fair, they do resemble each other

 

[HawkCat]

Do these announcers know the difference between Kropp and Martinelli?

Obviously not. Getting it wrong both ways.

 

[TheC]

Giving up too many offensive rebounds to DePaul

 

[HawkCat]

That was a problem at times in the previous game, too.

Yep. Rebounding is killing us so far.

 

[ThatadultfromHolland]

Giving up too many offensive rebounds to DePaul

Been an early season trend

 

[zbag51]

Giving up too many offensive rebounds to DePaul

So many

 

[TheC]

Page is really good!

 

[ThatadultfromHolland]

Clayton needs stick em. Thats 3 dropped boards.

 

[IMC Cat]

this is the first game I’ve watched this season, and it's early, but I must say I’m not too impressed with Reid. He plays fast but seemingly out of control tonight.

 

[HawkCat]

Defense is bad tonight. Definitely could lose this one.

 

[ThatadultfromHolland]

Got away with a reach in there

 

[ThatadultfromHolland]

Defense is bad tonight. Definitely could lose this one.

There’s a difference between Dunn hitting very difficult shots and opening everything up and bad defense.

 

[TheC]

These refs are horrid

 

[HawkCat]

Page is great again. Huge addition for us.

 

[IMC Cat]

I will never tire of watching Martinelli go into his bag of tricks

 

[wildcatpn]

Maybe you should watch more games.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

Weve missed like 2 shots and are ahead by 1. Scary

 

[TheC]

DePaul is a little more athletic and it's causing problems

 

[TheC]

Just a parade to the line for them

 

[ThatadultfromHolland]

This first half was lost on the defensive glass

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

3 missed wide open threes in a row. Sometimes that happens, but it's a bit unlucky.

 

[TheC]

Is Reid hurt?

 

[TheC]

Terrible

 

[HawkCat]

They are way more physical than us.

 

[ThatadultfromHolland]

Missing Tre on the defensive glass. Hopefully we see a better effort in the 2nd half rebounding. Defensively and offensively they’ve played pretty darn well.

 

[HawkCat]

Defensive rebounding is horrendous. It has caused us to shoot lights out and still be behind. I am worried about whether we will be physical enough for the B1G season.

 

[Hungry Jack]

We got our hands full tonight

Depaul is looking good. Officials not helping. Bunch of ticky tack fouls and couple going wrong way on Singleto One was a charge that was called a block., Clearly in place did not move and outside of circle. I mean they have already called about 14 on NU

Got to get better on D boards. They are killing us

 

[BenoitNU]

Singleton missing much of half in foul trouble really hurt us on boards. Bummed he has 3–we need him in there in second half.

 

[TheC]

These refs are a joke!!!!

 

[TheC]

We really can't do anything without Page.

 

[cat inkansas]

These refs are a joke!!!!

Kropp might not be ready. See a lot of hunger
