Minnesota v. NU Game Thread

[ThotDoc]

Between two bad teams, we are the worst today.

[The Impaler]

It is true that as long as Doc Sadler is coach at NU that NU will essentially suck. I see him as a once every 8-10 years NCAA guy.

Unfortunately, I don't think TO will do anything about it.

I don't even see that.

[carrolltonsker]

I sure hope we can do something once baseball season starts.

[carrolltonsker]

We make both FTs and NU trails 56-48 with 3:30 to go.

[ThotDoc]

These games do nothing but reinforce the "Fire Doc" effort, especially when we suck at home.

[Ackos]

Minn didnt play well against the full court press at Iowa (16 turnovers) and so with 3:00 left to play Doc goes to the full court press

[carrolltonsker]

Ubel with a steal but he tries to dribble the ball. It's stolen and they get a dunk. NU down 58-48. Now 58-50.

[Ogahusker]

These games do nothing but reinforce the "Fire Doc" effort, especially when we suck at home.

And 1

[carrolltonsker]

Another dunk and NU trails 60-50. 1:45 left.

Yep, baseball can't come fast enough......hopefully there will actually be something to cheer for.

It's not good when you can't shoot from the outside and you have no one down low that can rebound. Even a bad team can make you look horrible in that situation.

You know what teams that lack a great inside presence do a lot? They push it. The drive the lane and take it to the rim or kick out. the COMPENSATE for their weakness. NU ACTS like they have a great inside game and runs this crap halfcourt set where they pass the ball around until there's 2 seconds left then heave up a bad shot. It's awful gd coaching.

[carrolltonsker]

NU now down 60-53 with 1:26 to go. NU TO.

[Ogahusker]

Good night Doc

[SWVAHusker]

Can somebody please tell me what #13 Ubel is on the court for? Is he the designated tall white guy who can't play? I've seen that kid simply stand around when somebody takes the ball all the way to the bucket in numerous games. It's sickening.

Can't fire the players so Doc needs to go.

[ThotDoc]

Our offense is running around in circles waiting to lose.

[bilsker]

NU is just getting clowned right now.

[carrolltonsker]

Full court-length pass after the TO. Minnesota makes the bucket, and was fouled. NU down 64-53 with 1:05 to go.

[bilsker]

Absolutely clowned.

[carrolltonsker]

Spencer makes 2 FTs and NU down 66-55 with 1:00 to go.

[carrolltonsker]

3 pt shot and NU trails 66-58 with :45.9 to go.
