Great 1st half
Meh 2nd half

3/22 on 3s…that’s why I was rooting for sdsu over auburn and am rooting for isu over Illinois. We can and will loose a shootout if we go cold like that against an elite offensive team.

Clingan very literally had 10 blocks. Why the official scorer decided to remove his name from an incredibly small list of triple doubles in the NCAA tournament, we may never know

 

[Hi-Low]

Awful 3 pt shooting and still won easily....Cling Kong! Mildly concerned about shooting as we move ahead, hopefully rims in Boston kinder.

 

[phillionaire]

Consecutive sweet 16s for the first time in a while

“Best player on the floor” couldn’t throw it in the ocean. Nitwit podcasters.

A little lackluster in the second half and need to find the three point range, but still not worried.

 

[ec33]

Locked in....until they weren't.

Saving the 3's for a rainy day.

This is a 30 point win if we even only shoot slightly below average .

Y'all need to chill in the chat about stall ball. We missed some shots but executed pretty well. It is supposed to be ugly.

Huskies need to keep foot on the gas. On to the next round.

Haters.

Shake it off.

Hopefully this cold shooting night was an aberration. Get it out of the way in an early round game. Hopefully their hot thursday/Saturday

Looked like a hockey game for a while. NU had a lot of body checks that went uncalled.

 

[uconngb]

Gotta sharpen the focus it ain’t gonna be easy next weekend

Who had Andre Johnson tied for most three's in the pool?

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Pretty hard to beat us when Clingan makes anything at the rim almost impossible to get.

Then cleans up everything at the rim on the other end. Whether our 3s come or not, Don will always make sure we dominate the paint.

 

[elmcityboy]

first half was as well as this team has played all year, despite the missed shots.

He puts in the hard work at practice, so it was nice seeing Andre Johnson hit that 3 for his only points of the year.

 

[SLY63]

52 points in the paint, 14 from the line, does that mean 9 points outside the paint?

 

[Devland]

Castle with great D on Bouie

Yes.

DC continues his incredible streak of dominance. Im so focused on what he will do for the rest of the tourney... he is so locked in. Hurley and the staff are also preparing these guys to dominate; heres to another dominate first half. wasn't long ago that we struggled with slow starts

 

[Forte]

Second half was outscored by Northwestern ... shooting, especially from 3, we will call it an off-night. Shoot like that deeper into the tourny and might as well packup for the trip home.

 

[3rdbass]

Start Andre Johnson at SG. LOL! He was the only person that it seemed could make a 3 for us in second half. We have to shoot better from 3 than 14% as the tournament gets harder. Karaban is just off. Love to see Clingagn healthy and dominating. Also, Castle holding their PG to under 10 pts and 2-15 was magnificent d. He is such a great defensive player.
