ZoomSlowik Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 QUOTE(danman31 @ Nov 14, 2006 -> 08:39 PM) Northwestern is about to beat DePaul in Evanston. Either DePaul is really bad or Northwestern is at least respectable this year. I was expecting single digit wins from NU this year. The Cornell loss confirmed my expectations, but this DePaul win is out of nowhere. It's a nice win for a young team, they need some form of confidence early in the year. I would lean towards the DePaul is really bad option. They looked absolutely atrocious. They turned it over 15 times (which is really a lot higher than it sounds given the incredibly slow pace NU plays at) and shot 34% from the field including 3-16 from 3-point range and a 2-11 performance from Meijia. They had a really poor game plan the whole game, they seemed to settle for jumpers even though they are a poor shooting team. Plus Chandler was in the high post or out at the top of the key most of the game, even though NU had no chance of stopping him when he got it on the blocks. He should have had about 30, instead he finished with 11 on only 9 shots. Apparently Meijia is nursing some kind of leg injury, but that's still not really a good excuse. They severely outclassed NU athletically, it should have been ugly. NU didn't really play much better though, they only shot 40% and were 4-17 from the arc. They were awful in the first half, they only had 16 points at halftime. DePaul should have been up at least 12. The only real difference is that they only had 3 turnovers. They played a lot better in the second half though, getting some easy baskets. They still aren't going anywhere in the Big Ten, they're not very athletic and can't shoot too well.

Haha, when your a basketball team that lacks shooting and athletic ability, your usually pretty bad. I just laughed out loud when I read that for some reason.

I just laughed out loud when I read that for some reason. It'd be funnier to me if it wasn't true. We don't have any guys that I would call "good" athletes. Okrzesik looks pretty quick, Coble looks decent so far (although he's definitely no Tyrus Thomas), and Williams looks passable. Doyle and Scott are definitely below average athletes. As for shooters, Moore is good if he can get open (which isn't often enough), Okrzesik looks pretty good so far, and Coble looks okay. Doyle is awful, Scott is mediocre but he thinks he's Dirk Nowitzki, and Williams is also pretty brutal (a combined 2-15 from long range so far from those guys). That's probably why so far we're shooting 41.1% from the field and 26.8% from behind the arc so far. Of course part of that is probably because for some reason our two worst offensive players (Doyle and Williams) have taken the most shots on the team. If we could slant that more towards Coble, Okrzesik and Moore we might put a scare into a few teams... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I live in Chicago, so it would be north for me. And Im ashamed to say that I actually have never been to 1 Wisconsin Basketball game, I used to have season tickets for football, but never Basketball. I always watch them on tv though, and against Marquette I know that it will be close. Should be an interesting season, its the first time Wisconsin has had any hype in a preseason so hopefully they dont mess it up and choke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Hudler Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Nov 14, 2006 -> 11:32 PM) Same thing happened to a lesser extent in the Butler/Indiana game. Well actually, I shouldn't say that, Butler did get more than a fair game. But Butler had it tied with 15 minutes left, and they immediately call a total BS foul on the Butler guy to get him his 4th and get him out of the game. As a result, Indiana takes a dozen point lead and nearly runs Butler out of the game while the star player sits. That's how it goes though. I certainly hope you are joking. You aren't insinuating the refs helped IU in that game? You isolate one call in a game full of whistle-happy officiating? There were s***ty calls for two straight nights affecting both sides. There is no way one call in any way can illustrate such a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomSlowik Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Well, Martin finally stopped hitting 3's and the Tar Heels pulled it out. On a somewhat related note, some guy named Marchello Vealy is 7/7 from behind the arc and Oral Roberts leads Kansas 60-51. God, I hate the 3-pointer sometimes...
