[mshelton33]

Northwestern (11-16, 3-13 Big Ten) is on the road at Indiana (17-10, 8-8 Big Ten). The game is set to tip at 6 pm CT and will air on FS1.

Any body home?

 

[SDakaGordie]

Guard Wilkerson, g…mit!

 

[jensberg]

Wilkerson 4 for 4 from 3. Currently their entire offense

 

[SDakaGordie]

I’m done with the double teams. We can’t recover. Let them struggle 1-on-1.

Except when the defender is Jayden Reid.

 

[SDakaGordie]

Just so sleepy on D.

 

[SDakaGordie]

Amazing how teams with good shooters do better.

 

[SDakaGordie]

Reid getting abused on D - again and again.

 

[Skunkpilot]

We continue to play this D scheme that doesn’t work. Great adjustments. Not

 

[CatManTrue]

Page is keeping us in this game @Baz = Heisman

 

[SDakaGordie]

We can’t switch or double properly. So many easy baskets let up.

 

[TheC]

So that's not a foul? I hate these BIG refs.

 

[SouthportCat]

Shooters stretching the floor is everything. West hitting a couple is promising, but we need a sniper for next year. Dunno if we have one in house.

Any body home?

Don’t worry they’ll be here before the night ends.

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

I winder if the Nick Bobblehead can shoot?Would be a welcome addition to NU’s tepid offense if he can.

 

[ThatadultfromHolland]

Page is a very good passer at the center position. Very physical this game as well. Hopefully this level of play continues for him.

 

[SDakaGordie]

What an idiotic foul by Gelo.

 

[CatManTrue]

Airball on a WIDE open corner 3.

 

[SDakaGordie]

His shooting is a bit off too. But he’s playing great otherwise!

 

[jensberg]

Gelo with 2 airballs. But otherwise playing quite well

 

[Skunkpilot]

Two air balls and a missed free throw for him. Playing great?

 

[CatManTrue]

Martinelli looking like his usual self

 

[CappyNU]

Man, you would have no idea we've been winning for the last 5 minutes based on the posts here.

 

[CappyNU]

Page had a sequence where he threw a bad pass, but hustled back on D to break up an alley-oop attempt, then got the ball on the offensive end and made a beautiful pass to the corner where Martinelli hit a huge 3.

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Bad turnover then foul. Crap.

Too bad he isn’t a center and is lazy

 

[ThatadultfromHolland]

Thank you refs! Wow NU benefited from a horrible call!

 

[CappyNU]

I'm sorry, WE got the benefit of a bad no-call by the refs at Assembly Hall against an IU team trying to hang on to a tourney bid?? Wow.

There’s a first time for everything!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Hell yeah!

 

[ThatadultfromHolland]

Weird how much less active these threads are during wins lol. Some people are noticeably absent.

Not what I had on my bingo card

 

[its_the_sauce]

I'll take those calls. I had the Cats on the +350 moneyline lol

 

[12375CAT]

Great win from (another) Wildcat here( )

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Cats luck out for a road win. Two stupid Cats fouls/no calls by the refs. Lucky for the Cats that Martinelli got hot at the end and Indiana was ice cold in the 2nd half. This home loss to NU may have knocked Indy out of the Big Dance. Nice comeback by the Cats after drooping in the 2nd half in prior games.

Aye, the bad vibes are tough to compete with sometimes.

 

[NUcats92]

What’s even more impressive is Northwestern has won six in a row against IU when is the last time that’s happened even though these have been some pretty mid IU teams, but still.

 

[SmellyCat]

Cats dominated on the boards too.

 

[Arlcatsfan]

The refs gave NU a big time break tonight. Unheard of. NU outplayed the Hoosiers in the 2nd half. Very good win on the road against a team that desperately needed a win tonight. Collins has Indiana's number.
