Nebrasketball Game #14: Ohio State- Sunday, January 2 7:00pm BTN

[Omaha-Husker]

OT should be 4 mins. 5 mins is already really long (I'd consider 2 mins tbh) and 4 mins fits naturally with the TV timeout schedule the rest of the game.

This was the game that would have given the husker some needed confidence.

If a guy who is supposed to be a shooter makes free throws, we win this in regulation.

Why is mayen still playing. He sucks

Why in the world was he playing the last 37 seconds? We needed free throw shooters in and he had only shot ten all year. Plus he’s not a ball handler. So he gets fouled and craps the bed on both shots. Make both and we win. Make even one and there’s a good chance we win.

Players need to make the small plays, theirs did (block at the end of regulation), ours didn't (missed free throws). Other than that, it's a good performance against a good team.

He is shooting 31% from field & 23% from 3 and plays very little D and can't rebound.

And he actually held on to the ball when he was trapped, because he wanted to be the one to shoot the free throws; if he passes out of the trap, I like our chances with some other shooters at the line (although McGowan did keep us from winning the North Carolina State game in the same situation)

He was our second leading rebounder today.

I was there.  Not only we needed half the bench to tell Mayen to go play defense after his dunk and posing for pictures We had a wide open guy down the court for an easy lay-up game over....if you are going to be the guy who holds onto the ball, at least make those free throws.  I come from an old school coach who always believed to get rid of the ball in. a full court/trap situation.  I think I am part of the minority esp when I watch other games or still play in my basketball league.

This loss feels so much like our football season.  So close against a good team, but fails to close it out for a win.  So close, but yet so far away.

 

This also feels like the NC State game.  The team showed life and have something to build from.  But, the proof is how they come out and play now in their next game.  Are they going to go back to their old ways and fail miserably, or are they going to build off of it and actually wins some?
