Second-half thread for NU vs. Wisconsin

[ubercat]

"MacIntosh: the toughest shots he makes look so easy!"

 

[Alan Smithee_rivals156293]

Biggest 3.5 minutes in a long, long, long time...

 

[Figrating]

Showtime. Gotta maintain just this level of intensity the rest of the way.

 

[TheC]

I hope our guys realize how close they are to the dreams of generations of NU fans!!

 

[ubercat]

Hoping Wisco starts fouling and getting called for it soon. We need the bonus.

 

[Bradleywildcatsfan]

Have to agree we are not getting calls - foul disparity is blatantly wrong.

I agree. That said, can NW weather the storm? Last ten percent of the game to go!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Mac has some gonads! Wow

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Pardon got raked on a dunk, no call. Thought it was very obvious on TV, how did the refs miss it?

Refs doing NU no favors?

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Yes!

 

[julescat]

Best win of CCC era. Big balls by these guys tonight.

 

[ColumbusCatFan1_rivals]

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!

 

[chicagocatfan24]

They can't blow this right? Right???

 

[Alaskawildkat]

1:55 to go and NU up by 8!

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Lead by 10 - 60 to 50! One minute left!

 

[Alaskawildkat]

WGN Radio: "This cup is more than half full."

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Brown! Come on!

 

[Alaskawildkat]

57 seconds to go. Coach time.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Got to get that rebound!

 

[Alaskawildkat]

47.7 seconds left.

 

[TheC]

This game is going to kill me.

 

[ubercat]

Okay, Mac, make 'em both

 

[Figrating]

UW gets calls here

 

[Alaskawildkat]

GO CATS! Mac to the line. Good 62-55 44.5 left.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

30.7 to go. Now 23.6, Cats hold the lead at 62-55. Badger house goes silent.

 

[TheC]

That's a bullcrap call. They don't call anything on Wisky all night and they call Law for going straight up on a rebound!!!!

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Nice win! Sensational! Great job!

 

[beetlemania74]

Yuge!

 

[Alaskawildkat]

"On the brink of something very big." Per WGN with score at 64-56 and 19.7 seconds to go.

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Still 4.6 seconds away on WGN.

 

[ubercat]

That was MY KIND OF BOATRACE!!!

 

[TheC]

I think the Wisky coach was mad at us for that last dunk. Guess what.... F 'em!!!!!!!

 

[Hungry Jack]

Cash me a signature win how bow dah?

 

[kaTNap]

THIS IS THE Y E A R !!!!!

Thank you Coach Collins, assistants and players!

 

[Alaskawildkat]

Per WGN: 66-59 NU win ends two of Badgers' winning streaks! (Home and consecutive, though missed the numbers. 8 for consecutive? 20+ at home?)

NU maintains 4th place in B1G with 6 games remaining. 19th win of year for Wildcats. "The road just got a whole lot friendlier."

 

[TejasCat]

Good for Collins standing up to their bozo coaches after game

 

[DaCat]

Yesss! Go Cats!

 

[Bradleywildcatsfan]

Holy cow! We won!!

 

[bjm989_rivals]

How much do you value a player like Mac that can make clutch free throws? He took some unwarranted criticism in tonight's thread. It is a blessing to have a player that can sink pressure FTs like that. And then that last pass to Sanjay for the dunk, plus the earlier pass for the easy layup. Great vision.

 

[elgatoloco_rivals308553]

Re: Lumpkin's dunk. I would have had no problem with Wisco dunking in that situation. Part of the victory lap in a game.

 

[D_C_B]

I hope we didn't hurt any of their boys...
