MBB @ Northwestern Game Thread on BTN

I get your sentiment but why are we comparing ourselves to the worse teams in the conference. We’ve watched this team go toe-to-toe with the elite teams in the B1G that’s what makes a game like tonight so frustrating to some.

The team has no inside offense and very ineffective point guard play. Plus, Teske is doing nothing.

This might be a case of Matthews playing back at home for the first time and trying to do too much! Kid looks out of sorts out there tonight.

Last game against Manny was frustrating but he did pull it together late. Tonight seems worse than others.

What do the refs need to call a foul on the dude guarding Mo? Use of a concealed weapon?

Poole got fouled on the follow-through again... no call, again.

It was a bad decision — he needed to pull it back out there. He’s exhausted — with Livers out, he’s played pretty much 25 straight game minutes — but, more to the point, he needs to know he’s not getting a bail-out foul call on the road. He just didn’t have the legs to get it to the basket before help arrived.

The continued, recurrent, random bullshit from the stripes is what makes this sport blow. Time to watch something less frustrating...like cable news.

Well, first he tries to break MAAR’s shoulder and gets a common foul out of it; now he slaps at him and gets rewarded with a jump ball call. Kid seems to be a punk.

If anyone is frustrated there is a truly terrific game on FS1. Butler fought back from a big deficit to take a lead only for Xavier to get it back late. Now Butler has 6 straight points to make it a 1 point game in the final seconds.

Butler hit another long 3 to tie and Xavier missed the game winner. Overtime.

To beat their press?

Joined: 03/16/2009

Does that sound like John Beilein’s game? The purpose of the press is to make teams uncomfortable and knock them out of their offensive game plan — specifically, to speed them up. Sprinting to try to beat their press plays right into their hands. The way to beat the press is to have good court vision and make solid passes.

Now Skelly takes a dive and gets rewarded with a phantom foul call. Apparently he’s their secret weapon.

Phantom foul on us, of course. Even Northwestern - playing in a gym with a 50/50 crowd split - gets home court calls that we never get at Crisler.
