Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Minnesota

[SmellyCat]

Flagrant? For that?

 

[Hungry Jack]

Martinelli is going caveman

 

[SDakaGordie]

This game is annoying as hell. We should be up by 20. Please win this, it would be so frustrating to lose this when we are so clearly the better team.

Minny’s tough D and our 16 turnovers are annoying, for sure.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

What on earth was Martinelli doing there lol

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Good Lord

 

[GatoLouco]

Case in point how aggravating this game is, we go up 7 and Martinelli slaps the dude in the chest

 

[SmellyCat]

What on earth was Martinelli doing there lol

Playing like the Vandy guy who fouled B-Mac when they were ahead.

 

[2388bb]

They look tired especially Barny

Cats playing incredibly stupid today.

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Martinelli- what is he doing? He got pulled earlier when he made consecutive offensive blunders. Glad the refs made it a common foul which was the right call.

 

[GatoLouco]

Minny’s tough D and our 16 turnovers are annoying, for sure.

I mean there are all sorts of explanations for this. Tiredness is probably #1. It’s just road wins are hard and we are so much better than these dudes. Win cats, please

 

[Deeringfish]

I've never seen so many guys slip like the floor is wet.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

These refs are just terrible.

 

[SmellyCat]

NU looks exhausted.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

This team would be unstoppable if we had anyone who could score in the low post

 

[AdamOnFirst]

A LOT of missed layups today, and the looks we like. Boo, Martinelli with the left, BB finger rolls…

 

[SDakaGordie]

Wisconsin beat them by 2 at Minny. Any sort of a win is fine by me.

 

[SDakaGordie]

Martinelli got mugged after that excellent rebound.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Awful call

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

These refs are just terrible.

Bears repeating.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Oh Christ

 

[2388bb]

The black ref needs to be investigated.

Cats deserved to lose. NIT.

 

[SmellyCat]

Why doesn't Boo get calls going to the rim? Don't understand.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Total choke job. Not not over yet

 

[2388bb]

Oh Christ

Matt and Barry terrible today.

 

[Deeringfish]

Why did Berry reach in? Automatic two for Minny. Let you D get a turnover.

 

[ballerog711]

Another game lanborg in game at defensive end instead of Martenelli and the opponent get the wide open 3 for the dagger.

Oh well, too many missed free throws at end of game.

 

[Deeringfish]

Matt and Barry terrible today.

Brooks has added very little.

 

[EagerFan]

cats seem really tired

 

[AdamOnFirst]

I picked a hell of a day to quit doing amphetamines

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

good. Minny didn't deserve to win that game in reg.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Cats deserved to lose. NIT.

Nonsense.

 

[PURPLECAT88]

40 minutes is never enough for these guys.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

cats seem really tired

They probably are. Back-to-back OT games will do that.

 

[TheC]

This is a tough loss to take. We really can’t afford to lose games against the bottom tier, especially since we don’t have any high quality games left to get metric moving wins. We just are one guy short on this team such as a guy with size and a little skill.

 

[2388bb]

Nonsense.

Complete collapse.

 

[Hungry Jack]

Out of gas

 

[SmellyCat]

This game...

 

[2388bb]

Nonsense.

Watch.

 

[PURPLECAT88]

Ran out of gas.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Having no post game just puts extra pressure on everyone else. Can't have Buie/Langborg/Barnhizer/Berry running marathons every game... especially on a quick turnaround after purdue.
