Second-half thread for NU vs. Maryland

[lou v]

All in all, after turning the ball over nine times, NU has got to feel pretty good about trailing by just 2 at the half. Maryland is outscoring NU 20-6 in points in the paint, many of them because of baskets off turnovers. And Kevin Huerter -- who thought he'd be the leading scorer with 12.

I'd like to see NU get Pardon involved in the offense in the second half. He didn't get a shot and was held scoreless. Overall, NU's offense looks pretty good -- they're shooting 52 percent overall and 50 percent on 3s. They just need to tighten up the defense, particularly in transition.

 

[NU Houston]

On offense, make free throws and keep looking for backdoor passes and layups. On defense, get back in position.

Refs are killing us!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Get Ash in there ASAP

 

[Figrating]

NU needs some MO.

 

[D_C_B]

Refs are calling ticky tack crap on bailouts. Season long issue.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Mac needs to assert himself

 

[D_C_B]

What the hell was that reach by Sanjay? Weak.

 

[D_C_B]

Mac needs to assert himself

We need somebody other than Mac to assert himself.

[Deeringfish]

Dave Ennant is so great, I feel bad for people that have to watch on TV or go to the game with out a transistor radio.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

We got this boys! Plain lawlessness! Vic is amazing! Tell Scottie to quit those three point bombs!

 

[D_C_B]

Crap call against Law on that charge. Crap call

These refs suck

 

[lou v]

Man, NU has become a very runny team: 31-0 last night vs. Rutgers, 20-4 and now 16-2 tonight vs. Maryland.

 

[mikewebb68]

Just an extremely high level game by both teams. It looks like the BTT final rather than a quarterfinal

 

[D_C_B]

Ticky tack crap on EVERY possession.

 

[GOUNUII]

finally a make-up call

Stole a momentum grabbing 3 point play from Law. Just gawd awful officiating.

[D_C_B]

I just hate it when refs decide to make themselves the game like this. Let them play!

 

[ThatadultfromHolland]

The Trimble head throw gets the call again

 

[ubercat]

Pardon brings his A game tonight.

 

[willycat]

I just hate it when refs decide to make themselves the game like this. Let them play!

Pardon is eating up their #5

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Into the home stretch now with NU ahead. Need to match from here out. 6 minutes left with a 5 point lead..

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Come on boys!

 

[GOUNUII]

You mean like when Trimble is out of control, misses the hopeless shot in the lane and the ref saves him with a fantom 2 shot foul.

GOUNUII

 

[D_C_B]

Yes. Exactly.

GOUNUII

their coach needs a T or two

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Law is sensational on both offense and defense! Nice pass by Mac!

 

[D_C_B]

I'll bet $1k he doesn't get teed up. No fricking way.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

7 point lead and closing in on 3 minutes.

 

[Figrating]

Same pace, same intensity for 4 more minutes!!!!!

 

[TejasCat]

C'mon boys get it done

 

[D_C_B]

Faster pace. Greater intensity!!
