All you had to do was play defense

[Stiltz Guy]

Pitchford absolutely deserves P.O.G

Petteway!

As crappy as we played in the first half, this was a great win.  Great heart, excellent second half.  Good job men!

It's a little harder to shoot when someone guards you.  Unlike what we did Wednesday night.

Whew. Finally.

[Fullbacksympathy]

Our active d kept us in it. Impressive 2nd half. Great games from Walter and Benny and, of course, Petteway.

[roscoe]

Gonna pop a cool one to celebrate!

And sorry for getting carried away with the overuse of exclamation points earlier.

[Huskerpapa]

We gutted that one out in the second half.  I won't try to define that first half, but that is three games in a row that we started the game poorly.  But the second half baby...fan-frickin-tastic.

[FredsSlacks]

petteway didn't play a perfect game, but he is playing at an extremely high level. It's hard to imagine us not getting into the ncaa tourney if he's on the team the next 2 1/2 years.

Northwestern, talent wise, is arguably the worst team in the Big 10,but they play a style that allows them to stay in games, and take it at the end.  This was a huge win for this team, but remember to come back Wednesday and play better against a reeling Illinois team.
