So far watching this Wisconsin/NW game, Ty Berry and Julian Roper just got injured and NW is down to 7 players

Wildcats leading by 2 with 13:30 left, but game has the real feel that Wisky is going to win.

It’s definitely in Wisconsin’s favor right,  most of NW’s starters are in foul trouble except for Buie

[Hoosierfan1901]

Berry is back in for NW, good sign for the Cats

[Hoosierfan1901]

Fouls are catching up with NW

3 starters with 3+ fouls

[Hoosierfan1901]

And just like that, NW’s Backup C fouls out

[Hoosierfan1901]

Back and forth battle in Evanston

And he played only five minutes.

To be fair, on the year he's fouled a lot.....once every six minutes of play.   I think the only guy in the Big Ten with a higher foul rate is Malik Reneau (once every 5.5 minutes).

[Hoosierfan1901]

Barnhizer for 3

[Hoosierfan1901]

I’m assuming we want Wisconsin to win?

Don’t really want northwestern to start losing and make that loss at home a Q3 loss but you would also want Wisky to have a better NET number.   You can make an argument for either team.  

[RaceToTheTop]

Two minutes left, Northwestern up 2, Wisky ball.

Two teams look so similar to each other.

[RaceToTheTop]

Horrible, atypical execution by Wisky out of the timeout

[tkbbn]

Just can't root for wiscy.

[RaceToTheTop]

Crowl has just had three wide open looks -- like no one within ten feet -- from three and hasn't been close tonight.

Wisky ball down 2, 46 seconds left.

Boo just got kicked in the Buies
