Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Rutgers

[Hungry Jack]

It was a brief sighting.

Kinda blurry too. Like Sasquatch.

 

[CappyNU]

Why is that not goaltending!!

Of course Mullens can't make FTs

Didn't it hit the backboard?? Couldn't tell from my seat. Got free shake shack thanks to Mullins missing though. Would rather have the points.

Yes, it clearly did. The only argument I can see is that the shot didn't have a chance of going in, but the refs usually give a lot of leeway on that call.

 

[BosCat]

Rutgers is playing great FT defense

Only if you live in New Jersey..

 

[TheC]

Is Nick going the full 40 tonight?

 

[CappyNU]

Good thing I do.

He sat briefly in the first half.

 

[CappyNU]

Time for the refs to even things up...no call on West, foul called on Clayton.

That was pathetic.

 

[TheC]

Reed with more failed hero ball as the game winds down. That is a big part of why we lose these close games.

 

[CappyNU]

The Rutgers crowd is no longer quiet and defeated...

 

[TejasCat]

Interesting going without Page last 5 min of game.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

No idea what this end of the game line up is.

 

[CappyNU]

Page coming up limping after that scramble...

 

[NUcats92]

Good thing I do.

I work in Jersey, but live in Philly

 

[CappyNU]

Screwjob incoming

 

[zbag51]

What is happening ? My espn game cast is stuck at :08

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Geez, that is our inbound play?

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Overtime! Yay, bonus basketball!

 

[BarefootCat]

67-67. On to overtime.

 

[catcrazy]

Why are we the biggest choke artists this feels like early Boo years

 

[BosCat]

Geez, that is our inbound play?

What - you want more than 1 guy going to get the ball?

 

[CappyNU]

Tie game at 67, my kids are losing their minds.

 

[nu greek]

WTF is wrong with this team? I love Martinelli, but come on....

 

[CappyNU]

It's real frustrating watching Reid get blown by on defense over and over.

 

[CappyNU]

Free throw shooting decides this one...

 

[evanston09]

This broadcast is so bad. at all levels. The production, the camera work, the lack of any commentary thats even remotely intelligent... Just really bad.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

WTF is wrong with this team? I love Martinelli, but come on....

Hideous guard play and overall defense enough for you?

 

[AdamOnFirst]

It's real frustrating watching Reid get blown by on defense over and over.

He’s just not very good. He’s a good ball handler and distributor but he can’t score himself and can’t defend at all.

 

[BarefootCat]

Reid is the weak link on this team. Like you said, he's not very good.

 

[CappyNU]

This is excruciating.

Rutgers has the softest rims of any arena I've ever been in.

 

[CappyNU]

Welp.

 

[nu greek]

This team is soft, not physical and lazy.

 

[Catmandoo78]

Our shot chart is down right hideous. It’s the inverse of modern NBA offensive design.

 

[HawkCat]

Although not likely, a winless conference season is still possible. I feel badly for Mart.

 

[TheC]

Collins better hit the portal because he's only got one guy that can truly play at this level and he's graduating.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

This team is soft, not physical and lazy.

Stop with the lazy bit. Not very good is all you have to say,

 

[MCC_Cat]

Me too but you gotta make that FT to tie.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Frustrating
