#7 Northwestern vs #2 Louisville - 3/24/21

[nwhoopfan]

Evans: 3-12, 1-6 from three, 8 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist

She had some magic earlier in the season, but I didn't like what I saw from her in the 1st round at all. I didn't watch, but apparently she was off all thru the ACC tourney.

 

[Shades]

40-28 NW at third media break

Not sure Walz scouted NW very well.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Louisville beat two ranked teams all year; one DePaul which turned out not to be a ranked team, and also Syracuse which was 23rd at the time and maybe not a ranked team either.

 

[LETTERL]

Nell doing work.

Just think what she'd have if Balogun and Dixon had stayed after the coaching change instead of transferring to Louisville.

 

[MSGRET]

NW picking apart the double team on the primary ball handler at the top of the key. Louisville not making much headway, 40-28 midway thru Q3. I've been fairly unimpressed w/ Louisville in general this year, but holy cow this is a poor showing.

But the officials seem to be helping with some of the fouls being called against NW. One was a clean block and the young lady got called for a foul. Some of these officials seem to be calling them like they perceived that it was a foul before the player even started to jump.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Here comes Louisville. Lead down to 5.

The dreaded anticipation call. I hate that.

 

[HuskyNan]

How much time left?

 

[nwhoopfan]

40-37

How much time left?

2:28 in Q3

 

[LETTERL]

Little Mo has switched to Louisville. Northwestern has scored 15 points in the last 17 minutes of game time.

 

[dtbtbtb]

NW are offense challenged so Louisville is back and now we are having a game

 

[SECbbfan24]

Louisville knocking down shots now

momentum swing

 

[nwhoopfan]

Lost in all the other chatter, Pulliam has 1 point and is 0-7 from the field. 2nd leading scorer for NW I think? Some of her misses have been really terrible shots.

 

[Baylor1994]

Wow if northwestern blows the 18 point lead. pulliam has to get going she’s 0-7. Stop taking stupid contested shots

 

[nwhoopfan]

I've been giving Louisville a tough time, but they never panicked. Whole game has been a struggle but they kept their heads up. NW left the door open instead of putting this away after a pretty much perfect start to the game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

11-0 run, now 40-39

 

[nwhoopfan]

Cochran going to the FT line, Ville can grab the lead.

edit--hit 1 of 2; first tie of the game

 

[Baylor1994]

Pulliam takes the dumbest shots my god

 

[nwhoopfan]

3/4 court heave at the buzzer hits front rim, all tied up going into Q4.

 

[LETTERL]

40-40 game, going to Q4. Louisville on a 33-15 run

 

[Vowelguy]

Could see this coming — NW taking bad shot after shot and have scored 15 total the last 2 quarters.

 

[Vowelguy]

It seems like they have like 10 thousand players on their team lol aren’t they only losing Dana evans and adding a couple of recruits?

Return 11, add 2
Assuming no transfers

 

[nwhoopfan]

First lead of the game for the Cards. They might end up winning in a blowout.

 

[Vowelguy]

Lou now in control
But can they beat the Ducks?

 

[triaddukefan]

Dag..... hate having these close games around dinner time

 

[Childhood]

It's nice to keep Louisville in the tournament.

 

[Zinethar]

Northwestern folding under pressure. Louisville having the slow start issues UConn had earlier. They might not be able to catch the better teams is they start like that.

 

[Zinethar]

Did the Louisville player that got hit in the eye earlier ever return?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Mo has left Louisville. 47-45 lead still. Could go either way, 5 minutes left.
