Time to run our first offensive play of the game (weave does not count as a play).

Maybe if they called a foul every time Kofi actually got fouled, we wouldn’t be in this situation. Plenty of these Nw “steals “ have been hacks on the arm

I watch a lot of basketball and I swear we blow more 15 to 18. Leads than any team in the country

Kofi needs to understand that the 2nd defender is collapsing on every spin move. Looks uninterested in passing today.

This game has become a street fight. It’s not much fun to watch, but it’s the only way Northwestern has a chance.

Better wake up. We got ourselves a ballgame!

While this 15-2 run is frustrating, the mistake we made was not putting our foot on the pedal when we were up 15-18 for long stretches in the first half. This NW team likely folds at halftime if we stretch it to 25+.

Instead…we let them stay within striking distance. And here we are.

So weak with the ball. And Damonte and Grandison need to hit open shots. This is starting to remind me of Tyler Griffey his senior year where you’re just sitting there going “dude, just step up and make one for God’s sake.”

Help with what this has been a disaster of a last few minutes. Horrible ball security, crappy offense, northwestern hacking and no calls. We’ve shot 2 free throws even though we keep going inside to Kofi. They are not calling anything. Our defense is bad leaving way too may open 3’s this half.
