Big Ten Basketball 2020-21 Discussion (Part 1)

First NU possession after I turn it on is Audige trying to throw it down and getting blocked. I love watching this guy lol.

Not sure if I am just incapable of being objective in an OSU game but they are getting away with a lot of contact at one end and getting every call at the other

I am really impressed with OSU’s defense. NW has shown that they do have offensive weapons but OSU is shutting them all down.

Audige gets the ball and calls off the big man screen, showing the immense belief he has in his isolation skills. It’s easy to see why as he immediately settles for a step back long range two that clanks off the back of the rim.

This is impressive by NW.

NW regains the lead 68-66 with 1:43 left

Y’all see that block by Audige? Stuffed it down that Buckeye’s throat

This conference doesn’t Northwestern to be a solid team.

Dude block that ball with his forearms.

NW had a perfect 2-1 opportunity there and blew it for nothing.

Does NW jump into the top 15?

It’s time to talk to your family about 3-0 Northwestern

NW is officially living right. In the last 30 seconds, they blow a 2-1, get off a horrid shot, give up an OSU drive with a very makeable shot, give up the offensive rebound, miss the front end of the 1-and-1, and win anyway.

  1. Why on earth is NW bleeding clock on their last possession? It made no sense. They have a bucket there if they’re not rushed

  2. Why isn’t that an F1 on Liddell? I don’t get it.

Yeah, I was shocked Liddell didn’t get the call there. Happy, but shocked. (That would have been the ultimate OSU way to win - get fouled on an offensive rebound).

Oh, I thought it was a pretty clean strip by Boo. I mean Liddell should have been called for an F1. It was a dangerous play. He yanked him down to the ground. It wasn’t a good foul. It’s an F1.

(and I know I’m a homer, but I think F1 gets called on Michigan in that spot, and the refs go into some overwrought explanation of why)

NW redeemed the football team! Watching OSU basketball past couple years has been ugly. Something about the way they play, just does not meet the eye test. Except for the first couple games last year when they had DJ Carton.
