    uneblinstu's postgame chatter: vol 13; ed 8 - @ Wisconsin

    This one was fairly predictable. Started off well, looked like they could hang for a while but couldn't keep up vs. a skilled, experienced team.

     

    - It was a bizarre start to the game, but NU's energy and intensity really caused problems for Wisconsin. They were the aggressor and Wisconsin didn't seem to respond too well early.

    - NU didn't seem like the team with the inferior front court early.

    - What's the deal with Teddy's free throw shooting...?

    - Wisconsin finally settled in and started hitting some shots...

    - I like that Coach played him with two fouls, but Teddy's got to learn how to avoid foul trouble more often.

    - Lat took some shots, which is good, but he seems in his own head right now. He's not even all that close...

    - Wisconsin started hitting some shots and looked way more comfortable to start the half. 

    - NU found some defensive energy right before the first media time out of the second half. Can they keep that up?

    - Sitting at about the 14 minute mark of the game and this has been Yvan's best game of his career so far.

    - And as I say that he gets beat on both ends on consecutive possessions.

    - Teddy got 'Sconsin'd. Trice hoodwinked that ref on the offensive foul. 

    - Wisconsin just grinds and grinds and grinds. We're not good enough to stand up to that for 40 minutes yet.

    - Wisconsin had a killer possession that ended with a 3 from Davison. NU responded with a quick, deep 2 that missed. Wisconsin responded with another long possession that ended with a good look from 3 that Davison of course drained...

    - Surprised we didn't see Andre at all before garbage time.

    - Wisconsin is a lot different than Doane. I don't think Lakes even got a shot up until there were about 3 minutes left.

    John Beilein very much made this work


    He did.  But the 5 out is also meant for isolation and that can still happen in the post with a back to the basket player.   It just helps to have all 5 guys be a 3pt threat.  

     

    I think Wilhelm gets big minutes next year.

    I need some more educated minds here to help me understand Allen’s value to this team.

     

    Well for one, he's the only guy on our roster that can score 14 points against Michigan in the first 6+ minutes of game time.

    He definitely got hot and when he does, he can fill it up. I would respectfully disagree that he is the only one on the roster who can do so. By my count, the team took 14 shots from the floor in the first 10 minutes, Teddy took 7 of them. There are other players who could catch a hot streak and put up similar numbers with that volume of shots taken.

    If you watch this video at our best our Pete Nance is Dalano Banton.

     

    Interesting, and thanks for posting.   Young does not seem to be in much in these clips.   He played a lot vs. Indiana, with his back to the basket a bunch.    Perhaps our 5-out just doesn't work because we don't have 3 point shooters.   Or just don't run it well.   But I remain a skeptic of that approach in this league--the personnel necessary to run it will get abused on defense and in rebounding in this league full of quality bigs.   Having said that, Northwestern is night and day better from last year.

    Yeah, really boils down to who can exploit their mismatch more.
