-12 as of this morning.  

 

That is a big a$$ number.  My questions...Has NU quit?  Will a road game actually be good for them?  Will Watson have a big game finally?

we have completely lost our mojo in my opinion. I expect us to lose by 12+ hope I am wrong but yikes it doesnt feel good 

[Minnesota_husker 2,083]

I honestly might not watch this game

[Hayseed 856]

I'm pretty sure if we win out the season for a 21-10 record, we'll be in the Dance as a solid 5 Seed!

This could get ugly. At this point I’d like to seem them just run and gun. Try for 90 points. Just jack 3’s and just run. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Agree!  Play free, have fun and not worry about what everyone thinks.

Yeah, so tough to do with no bench and Mackey is a house of horrors for most teams.

At this point the season over with another loss. The current way is no longer working and only getting worse, why not try something else. You know what they say about doing the same thing over and over expecting different results ?

Im sure you’ll have this wish partially fulfilled. The 2nd half offensive effort will be able to be classified as just jacking 3’s. Of course it will be bad 3’s with no rebounding like usual and they won’t be running at that point because we have no bench or at least none Miles will put on the court.

[teachercd 5,229]

Uggg...I was up big today...until I bet with my small tiny black heart and took my Illini...time to chase and bet Purdue.

 

 

[Huskers93-97 1,921]

We lose again 

[Omaha-Husker 530]

Purdue is the team I kind of fell in love with and will probably keep around way too long in my March Madness bracket.

[Big red surfers 185]

If it matter ex coach Reilly is coaching in the AAF. Really vs martz 

[Big red surfers 185]

Feed Thor. He’s on fire 

[Big red surfers 185]

They run literally no offensive sets. Baffling 

[Hayseed 856]

Palmer's hitting shots again....good news!

Keep your head up ,guys.....don't be a sourpuss all the time.

[Big red surfers 185]

And what would a Nebraska basketball game be without a 7 min scoring drought.  3 points since 7:20 mark. 

[PaulCrewe 2,301]

Gonna waste a pretty solid first half by going full Nebrasketball the last five minutes.  Bad bad shots by Nana and Palmer when opportunities to stretch the lead were there.  And of course the lack of an actual offense leads to forced, contested shots at the end of the clock that have no chance of being successful.  Add in crap transition defense and you give the Boilermakers momentum to build on at the half.

[Big red surfers 185]

Cheapest foul I’ve seen in a few years. There jersey touch and it’s a foul.  Incredible

Yes, pretty bunk considering the contact their letting go in the paint

I mean at this point it isnt.. Miles hasnt ever really run an offense.

 

He always plays hero ball.

[PaulCrewe 2,301]

The fact that Miles can’t see and utilize the mismatch with Roby on offense is just stupidity at its finest.

 

Call the damn TO Tim it’s getting ugly fast

[Big red surfers 185]

They have scored 7 points in 13 minutes.  At the 7:20 mark it was 28-25 neb. Since then 22-7. 

[Hayseed 856]

That got ugly fast. Pretty tough with nobody inside.

[Bad2theBONES 101]

Miles should be telling the team absolutely no 3 point shots and if you take one you will come to the bench. Give it up, we have terrible shooters. Have known this many games ago. So why and the hell do we keep casting them and waisting possessions? Palmer keeps coughing the ball up and is playing some terrible ball. He hasn’t looked like an NBA caliber player all year long. Timid, turnovers, poor shots, and even worse decision making.

Timmy can’t figure out a way to get Roby on the block against a guy giving up four inches

[Huskers93-97 1,921]

Hey at least we are consistent now

And the other guy is a ball passer at the top of the key that they don’t even guard.

[Big red surfers 185]

Im curious is there a rule that miles has that says you can’t shoot a open shot before 5 seconds left on the shot clock ?

[Big red surfers 185]

Wow Allen. 4-4 from deep. Feed hm the ball.  Make that 5-5

Unless your name is JPJ, he can do no wrong in Timmy’s eyes

[Hayseed 856]

I don’t see how we can win if we don’t contest that hot shooter at close range... need more defensive effort.

Okay, that explains why this game is close!  I was sort of watching but not really and it seemed like NU kept making some big shots.

[PaulCrewe 2,301]

Miles needs to start TiVoing games and listen to what color guy says during the game.  Everyone sees the deficiencies of his team but him

I think a lot of coaches freak out about shooting fast.  

 

Not Brad Underwood though!!!!  They take tons of crappy shots in the first 7 seconds!!  Ha

 

Actually a lot of stats show that shooting in the first 7 seconds is the way to go if possible

I remember reading an article awhile back that Tim doesn’t want them to shoot it right away.  He wants them to work the shot clock and try and find an open shot.

A lot of it is pending on the offense you run.  Of course 99% of basketball coaches have offenses, we are just fortunate to witness that 1%

Dude that is cold blooded!

[Hayseed 856]

This opponent and our type of players calls for driving every time, then kicking out if necessary. You don’t see that much. Our big guy should be getting offensive boards on the back side, not ball handling for our NBA stars.

Afraid we’ve wasted too much time taking Ill advised shots for a comeback.

That is poetic!  

[PaulCrewe 2,301]

Have they even ran the zone on defense tonight?  The offensive pukefest has just muddled with the defensive effort for me tonight I haven’t noticed 

[PaulCrewe 2,301]

I also love the lack of urgency this team has shown.  Games with around four minutes left and are still in a manageable deficit, and there is just no care.  

 

That falls on a coach as well.

I think they’re tired due to no backup play while Purdue has scrappy bench guys harassing us.

I think we had guys with NBA potential. Thinking this season hurts their stock

If they had NBA potential they wouldn't have come back.
