Northwestern Post Game Thread

[KDB]

That first half. Dangit.

[SawatchHoosier]

Not mad about that loss. F#$% these refs

[BGleas]

That missed travel call that cost us 2 techs and gave NW 4 free throws looms extremely large. 

[Kdug]

I have no idea how that last play wasn’t an offensive foul. Blatant shove, but the refs let NW foul all game so not too surprised

[Dawg Bawls]

They aint gonna get calls/noncalls like that in tourney

[rd726]

More pissed than I thought I would be. If the creep wouldn’t have blatantly shoved off…..🤬

[NotIThatLives]

Games like this and Maryland show our desperate need for a healthy X.  He can totally stay with Buie.  And then let Jalen operate in more space off a drive and kick.

[Hippopotamo]

Really proud of the fight we showed in the 2nd half. 1st half was terrible but I blame a lot of that on the refs. No coincidence that they called a different game after halftime. Weirdly enough I feel a lot more confident in our team on the road. 

[Indykev]

The travel that led to the 2 t's set the tone for the first half. Almost over came.

[Inequality]

Would like to have those two technicals back. What a comeback though.

[3Ballin]

Hope CMW gets fined for calling the refs the 5 alarm diaper fire they are during his post game interview. 

[Euroclydon]

Lessons learned? 1)Show up both halves. 2) Plan on getting jobbed by the refs. Pathetic. 3) Don't let your bench give away points with a T.

Well it came down to the bogus miss of a traveling and the two technicals.  Great comeback though.

[BGleas]

Sucks that he missed about 3-4 completely wide open 3's, but another tip of the cap to Kopp for his defense on Audige the last 30 minutes or so.

Shouldnt the bench tech just been one shot?

[Hoosier82]

8 vs 5 is always tough on the road in the BigTen. Refs aside, far too many mistakes/unforced errors. Pick each other up and learn from it. 
 

As for the GD bench…sit there and STFU. I mean damn…what’s that? 3-4 Tech this season??? Unforgivable

Watched it a second time to make sure I wasn’t just mad in the moment. It was even more blatant than I thought. Great D by Galloway that should’ve been rewarded. That being said, can’t dig such a big hole in the first half.

[Artesian_86]

Northwestern was totally on their heels. There’s no way that game should have ended that way with the no-call push off from boo-ee. Shame on the refs, just shame on them. The way we played the second half, they deserved to win that game.

And that insane call on Bates in the first half too when he had the audacity to steal the ball from NW. 

[CTrojan88]

Too many turnovers in the 2nd half extended the comeback longer than it had to be.  The officiating was horrendous as well.  Galloway and Trayce came to play in the 2nd half

I would walk in and throw money on the table and call them out by name.

[NWOHoosier]

Got hosed pretty good in that one. Sure, hit a few more shots/free throws and the point is moot but can’t overcome that whistle. Appropriate that it ended with a blatant no call. 
To fight back like that proves that this is a really good team that just has to shoot fairly well from the perimeter to be special. Good times ahead.
