MileHighHusker Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hopefully the players come out with more confidence and energy than the fan base. It's hard to be optimistic after that loss at Illinois, but this team has shown they can play with anyone in the league (except MSU, although I think we could play them close as well), so they still have a chance to make the dance if they can win the next 3 or 4 games.

ADS Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Have a bad feeling about tonight. IU is hot and we don’t match up with them at all. Quote Link to comment
Big red surfers Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I’m thinking a cinder block has better hands then Jordy. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Kinda hard to watch right now. Quote Link to comment
B.B. Hemingway Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Please recruit Jordy's replacement... 2 Quote Link to comment
SUHperman Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I still hope Jordy transfers at the end of the year. He should not be playing in the Big Ten. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Taking too many threes again. Quote Link to comment
Big red surfers Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Stop with the 3’s. Please Just now, Moiraine said: Taking too many threes again. And there bad looks too. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) I don't watch a lot of bball so maybe there's something I'm missing, like the # of defenders in the paint, but it seems to me we have several players who can drive to the basket and have a lot of success, but we're not doing it nearly often enough. And too often when we do drive, we're passing it back out to someone to take a bad three point shot. I mean, Palmer seems to make pretty much every layup he attempts. I've seen him kick it out quite a few times in the last 2 games when he should have just taken the shot. Edited February 21, 2018 by Moiraine Quote Link to comment
HS_Coach_C Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I expected to see a team dialed in and ready to take Indiana behind the woodshed... as of now, we are far from a tournament team. Quote Link to comment
SUHperman Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I know we don’t ever run an offense but this is pathetic. Run down the court, make one pass and launch a three. Incredibly frustrating. Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Nice to see the only positive thing Taylor has done thus far is put his jersey on correctly Quote Link to comment

I've seen him kick it out quite a few times in the last 2 games when he should have just taken the shot. Indiana is forcing Nebraska to start their offense 30 ft away from the basket to begin possessions (not ideal), then packing the lane any time Nebraska attempts to drive inside. Knock down a few of those threes and it will open things up. We have a few guys that can create their own shot, but really only one guy who can get his own shot at the rim, which is Palmer.... To your point, Nebraska is not being aggressive enough offensively. Evidence? 15 3pt attempts, and zero FT attempts. Edited February 21, 2018 by B.B. Hemingway Quote Link to comment
