Uhhh - Battles I lose none I make crews run, I get fools done, got ten fingers but only use one, I run up like Machine Gun Kelly with a black skelly put one in your belly leave you smelly than take your Pelle Pelle, I'm the neighborhood vamper punani lamper mess around with me and find my boxers in your mommy's hamper, nowadays girls want you for your money, I'm like 'I have, but got nothing but love for you honey,' and cuz I'm looking slick and my pockets are thick, I needs surgery to get chicks removed from my CHILL - I'm coming straight out the NYC, rap's my J-O-B, I'm down with digging in the crates and I'm MVP. BIG L REST IN PEACE.
Also, go Cats. Northwestern will apparently actually wear black tonight, which, you know, they said they would last time but didn't, so we're excited.

Shurna and Crawford
Both passed up open threes on the first possession.
Indeed
We’re going to give up a metric ton of points. Can’t leave gifts unopened when offered free points.
Is this the 3rd time we've faced a team with a week's rest?
Minnesota, Illinois and now IU? Mixed results in the first two. All three on the road.
Nevermind
Illinois was regular rest – they beat tOSU during the week.
its a conspiracy!
refs trying to un-conspiracy it by calling it close, though.

Reggie!
We have two guys that can dunk? Is nice!
In traffic?
I’ve only see him do it in the open court, at least this year. I know he was a high school dunk champion and all …
good start.
zeller is doing work obviously, but NU has Indiana in foul trouble and the offense looks nice.
Curletti warning
I see fouls coming.
Nice to see Drew hit his first three
Not so nice to see Indiana getting the first of many offensive rebounds.
looooks like its just the two of us.
soooooo… how about the weather?
by Rodger Sherman on Feb 15, 2012 5:46 PM CST up reply actions
Yeah
On both accounts. Not that this was a calling it tight foul – it was an obvious one. But calling it tight = advantage IU. They have more than 5.5 players.
Had scallops last night.
… mmmm …. scallops. But even more … mmmm…. bacon.
oh wow.
that sounds amazing and manages to be unkosher in two distinct ways.
by Rodger Sherman on Feb 15, 2012 5:52 PM CST up reply actions
He does
But it’s still annoying to watch.
Zeller might well score 30
Just need to not let anyone else go crazy.
offensive rebound.
ends with curletti getting emasculated. good thing he’s playing though, we need his size. (this was a lie.)
Another annoying IU offensive rebound?
Check.
#NorthwesternProblems
We can haz offensive rebound too?
Thank you Cobb.
curletti's pass almost gets picked off.
on the plus side, he gives us a center, and that’s important when playing against a guy like zeller.
Curletti
Commits foul that doesn’t result in an “and-1”!
Add Quicken Loans to the hate list
Right up there with the Lexus Christmas commercials.
The thing about a decent start
Is it makes it more annoying when the opponent goes on a run, after creating a false expectation of hope.
We miss Luka
There, I said it.
Luka scored 20 on this team last year minus Zeller
Get him out there. Maybe the crowd will remember and boo him and it’ll get him emotional and he might play like he gives a shit.
So I watched the OSU-Minn game on replay this afternoon
and thought to myself “Well thank God, that means Hightower won’t be refereeing tonight.”
I need to reintroduce myself to the concept of replay and travel.
if a possession does not end up with drew or shurna shooting
it was not a good possession, by default.
Curletti with rebound!
Presses … stopped.
Just getting here
… and no TV. Quick review, please!
hot start offensively
then indiana started getting layups or dunks or offensive rebounds every possession. now NU is in zone.
by Rodger Sherman on Feb 15, 2012 6:13 PM CST up reply actions
Hmm.
Little offensive rebounding.
Sobo: 3 charges, on bench.
Davide: stiff.
Shurna: our offense.
Hearn: sick dunk.
Did we mention no rebounding?
Really late switch to the 1-3-1
Before that, offensive rebound-a-rama by IU after a quick start by us.
Shurna-rific.
I feel like strawberry farmers save their biggest and best strawberries..
.. for Valentine’s Day. These are fresh and amazing and the size of baseballs
hightower
is busting out the rare “i’m going to repeatedly toot on my whistle to signify a foul call” move tonight. intriguing.
Not so rare for Hightower?
Signature move, along with the dramatic pause before the demonstrative call.
excited for the froo/curletti pick and roll.
they won’t stand a chance.

HALFTIME SNACKS AND BEERS THREAD.
hey, guess who bought the last sam adams winter classics pack from foremost? (hint, me.)
Trip to El Pollo Loco for me
… and taking my daughters to hapkido class. DVR time.
not bad.
i mean, i kind of have a beercrush on random sam flavors. i got the black and brew/coffee-flavored one in the stein right now.
by Rodger Sherman on Feb 15, 2012 6:30 PM CST up reply actions
You guys need to come to Seattle and try our microbrews
Just as we set the standard for coffee, grunge and jet airplanes, so it is for beer. Maritime Pacific Imperial Pale Ale, the nectar of the gods …
Is it good?
I’m not a huge Sam guy, but this Alpine is tolerable. Moving on soon to the 3/3 Blue Moon/Killian’s Red that I got for $4.49 on the discount rack at Jewel.
not my favorite
but i’m drinking all the bad ones first. and none of them are that bad. the chocolate bock in here is, well, i mean, like, jesus.
by Rodger Sherman on Feb 15, 2012 6:34 PM CST up reply actions
well as noted
i bought the last one at foremost. they stopped making the winter pack last month. it’ll probably come out again in december tho!
by Rodger Sherman on Feb 15, 2012 6:36 PM CST up reply actions
down six.
well, not good, but if NU sticks with the zone and plays like they did offensively in the first few minutes, it’s a game.
offensive board over curletti's head.
good thing he’s playing though. allows us to play inside-out.
I WILL STOP MAKING THIS JOKE WHEN MY BRAIN STOPS HURTING.
Sheehy gets the board over Curletti
But he’s tall, right?
we were doing well with curletti out
it was probably a fluke, though. we need a center out there.
/starts looking for everclear
I mean, we need
a hand in his face 18 feet away from the basket.
You know, body him up that far out with a man with the mobility of a wounded sloth.
he's been off of late.
i’m not mad at that.

John Shurna is a 1st team All Big Ten player.
I never thought I would say that, but he is playing at another level recently. A lot of heart and desire from him is just what this team needs.
I’m very impressed.

curletti fouls without preventing the bucket.
good thing he’s in, though. important to have height out there instead of shurna.
more than ever, mnwildcat
more than ever.

that is
post-ggn headache was not that bad.

Indiana apparently Allowed to foul now

One aspect of Shurna's game that has always bugged me
So many times he does not box out. I know he’s got a lot else to worry about out there, but it really hurts sometimes.
last five minutes of officiating
Worst crowd bias I have seen all year – Indiana has fouled every single defensive possession without a call
by Glopknar on Feb 15, 2012 7:01 PM CST via iPhone app reply actions
Yeah, it's gotta be one or the other.
Either Carmody’s gotta just be on their ass about this, or he’s gotta stop sending him into the post, because you can’t ride him for 40 minutes like that. Oladipo is mugging him.
Wait, this series hasn’t been played since beginning of B1G?

didn't get that comment.
not sure what he meant.

This might be one of the best NU performances in a long time.
The other recent amazing game was Coble at MSU.
Wow, Shurna, wow.

I'm not crazy about our coach, either

Just in general
And tonight, too much Curletti.
by SeattleCat on Feb 15, 2012 7:28 PM CST via iPhone app up reply actions
Curletti's line: 3 boards, no points
by SeattleCat on Feb 15, 2012 7:31 PM CST via iPhone app up reply actions
most bullshit non calls I may have ever seen
Did anyone else see Oladipo punch Shurna in the ribs on back to back possessions?
by Glopknar on Feb 15, 2012 7:26 PM CST via iPhone app reply actions
As Doyle says
Love to have them at W-R

Might be a good thing i had to listen on the radio
All i have heard from dave eanet is how bad the officiating was throughout the game, especially in the 1st half. I would have lost my mind watching that, not that i havent already. Not too mad though they played hard and Shurna was stepping up huge like he has been these past few games. But damn it would have been nice to get this one it sounded like their was alot of controversial calls. What could have been if Shurna got more than 20 seconds of rest in the 2nd
