ChiroHusker Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Well on the bright side, we couldn't have played worse and they still struggled putting us away Quote Link to comment
Blackshirts007 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 This wasn't a must win. But the next 3 are. Have to beat Indiana on the road and then we have a crucial game with wisky Quote Link to comment
hskrfan4life Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Not much to say but win out. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirts007 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I think most of us were hoping to make the CBI. This is Miles second year. We were not going to win 9 straight. Barely any teams can do that. MSU, Michigan, Wisky, ohio state. Iowa all say hi. Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 All is not lost.....that wasn't pretty, but we got it out of our systems. Sometimes losing can teach more than winning. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirts007 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Road games are tough. Look at us at home. Rims are different, the court is different, and people yelling in your face. We shot bad. I think this loss could actually spark our guys. This team won't cripple. I think NW should be terrified. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'm hoping for a good NIT seed at this point. At least it is home games, which NU thrives on. Just not a good time to have an awful shooting/turnover game. Must've been all that crappy orange. I have been wondering this for awhile but hated to say it. The NCAA Tourney would be nice but I'm not sure this team wouldn't be better getting a good seed in the NIT and make a run there with a home game or two. I think that would breed some more confidence than an underdog role in the NCAA away from PBA. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 We don't have enough outside shooting to fall in love with the three ball when it's not falling. 3-13 (23%) from deep not only isn't good but then we're not getting any free throws (6-7) because we're not attacking the rim.

All the tourney talk might have impacted their effort tonight (which was woeful). Time to work on reality. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Shake it off. If we shoot anywhere close to normal we win easy. Come home and take care of business. Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 It was an off night. No offense to Illinois, but we lose against every big ten team when we play like that.... Frustrating loss, but we can learn from this, We had our heads down/ Terran didnt have the composure we need from him. We sucked but it was one game and we can move on. This hurts our tourney hopes but doesnt demolish them. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 We were 17-32 (53%) inside the arc - needed to attack more. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirts007 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 If someone said we start the year 0-4 and ask if I'd take 8-7 would I take it, I'd say yes in a heartbeat. I would take 6-9 if they offered it. We are finally coming together. The wait until next year is cliche for football but it really applies here too. The chemistry will be insane next year and with everyone coming back we will make the tourney. Quote Link to comment
