Second-half thread for NU-Ohio State

[azimmerman_1]

Okay, NU has a 12-point lead entering the half. This has to be the game where it breaks through. Ohio State is shooting at a 14 percent clip and is without its best player. If the 'Cats can't win this one, they won't win anything.

Oh, you are so young and full of hope.

We've been playing better since the second half vs LOLinois. Let's hope the Cats keep up their suffocating defense and get Law and Pardon going.

Gaines picks up his third on a three shot flailing flop.

Pardon with a three then a block. But that turns into a three. Greer with a three and a missed assignment for an easy osu score. Both teams working harder this half.

Gaines has an ugly shot from anywhere, I can never believe it when they fall, but sometimes they do.

I like Gaines taking it to the rim,and defense. But his 27% from three point land ain't cutting it. With his three,missed threes,that is a solid 25% for the year

Has Falzon made a damn shot since that Indiana game?

 

[EagerFan]

Osu makes a crazy desperation shot for two. Pretty good D for the cats, but they are not getting the rebounds they should.

 

[EagerFan]

A pair of nice assisted layups by Koop, osu might give up the full court press for the night.

 

[DaCat]

Let's hold on Cats! No turnovers please.

 

[EagerFan]

Victory!!!

Great effort to close this out; fun night.

 

[DaCat]

Yes! Way to get it done Cats. 68-50.

 

[TheC]

Really nice D all night long. We were actually the deeper team tonight.

What's this, another 40 pt second half? Two in a row, forgot what that looked like!

Really happy for Pardon, who turned in a vintage performance. What a player. Gonna miss him.
