[NU Sports] mixed bag half

[Weinbaum, Willie]

Cats did a lot of good things, but they clearly don't have much margin for error on the road against a talented and motivated team...so NU's propensity for turnovers (so irksome that Marcotullio continues to make telegraphed passes and Curletti tries ill-advised bombs, to name a few of the turnovers), missed front ends of one & ones, a two-point gift on a flagrant foul and the multitude of second chances for UW were the difference that gave UW a lead of seven going into the locker room.  All that being said, Shurna's prowess from trey land and some good ball movement and ball-hawking defense kept the Cats in and even had them up six before it turned around.  The size of the Huskies necessitates Curletti's presence - -  when he was out, UW's rebounding and paint advantages were even more pronounced.

Pretty obvious what the Cats will discuss at halftime and what they need to do to overcome this deficit.
