The Bucks have beaten the Cats in 27 of the last 28 meetings. Let's see if NU can reverse history.

Two early fouls on Bates-Diop. That's big.

We missed some early layups!

NU is now 0-for-6 from beyond the arc.

JVZ banks in 2 FTs. Must be a new style.

15-15 at the under-8 timeout. BMac with six early points

Northwestern is shooting 5-of-17 from the floor and 0-for-7 from 3. That ain't gonna cut it.

Make some threes

0-9!

Had Pardon on that last pick and roll, need to find him there.

We're on pace to match our ineptitude against MD

This is brutal. Breathtakingly bad shooting.

We are playing like a bunch of 2 foot midgets. We should be killing them and instead we play like a dear in headlights

Two ways to look at that half. Either NU is fortunate to be leading after shooting 2-for-13, or OSU is fortunate to be down only one after Bates-Diop spent almost the entire half on the bench.

At least we're being sweet.

After an ugly start at least we're up by 1 at the half.
