They can complain, or they can adjust. With 20 minutes left, they should adjust.

The two an game with AC and Kofi is great as they looking to double Ayo. Pull the other defenders away.
This is the adversity moment that every team needs to overcome in the tournament if it wants to win the championship. Hope we respond.
Refs have nothing to do with this game. We are being outplayed by an excellent defensive team.
We could run that last play all day with Miller in the corner and get either a dunk or open three. But the key is getting stops now.
Yes they’re out playing us. But they have fouled kofi every time he has touched the ball. That’s a big deal.
THIS RIGHT HErE! I am beyond poised! If they are going to let him get abused, bulldoze them!
Other guys aren't taking any.

No one in foul trouble which is a good sign for us.

I think we have to stick with the pick and roll to get our offense going. Kofi was playing it so lazily for the first 18 minutes not screening and rolling slowly. Set a good screen and roll hard to the basket. Force Krutwig to make a decision. If you can get Kofi the ball quickly I don't think they could double quickly enough.
Loyola isn't Northwestern...they won a really good conference-Missouri Valley, they have been to the Final 4 in the last yrs, and they have the best player on the floor so far...their defense is OUTSTANDING
Krutwig saying “damn” walking off the court at halftime is what we want. Now we need to play defense, play our game, and execute.

Well.. pretty bad first half. They came out with a perfect game plan and I think we only seemed like we beat their defense maybe like 3 possessions? They are a strong group.
we need to start picking and rolling more. Floaters in the lane, bounces/lobs to Kofi or just over the screen for a 3. Problem is we are cold
I don’t want to rule out a come back, our boys can do anything they put their mind to. But coming back +9 on these guys in 20 minutes will be the toughest test of the season

Wally is ecstatic at the half. He is a total joke

Time for the NU 2nd half.
Those are so weak. If we can’t beat Loyola we don’t belong in the title conversation.
Folks,
LUC holds opponents to 55/game. BEST in the nation.
20 minutes left. Get Ayo moving, he has only 2 shots

You know it's bad when you're at work following this thread and you read the post about Kofi getting fouled at the end of the first half and then see the post about Georgi's foul.... and you're thinking... wait, did the ref call Georgi for a foul against Kofi? I-L-L !

Miller hit a 3. But everyone has to pick it up
