Nebrasketball @ St John's

Hope no one bet the over (159.5)

Best defense I've seen from Nebraska in a long time for that first half. Then they completely stop doing that to start the 2nd. Not taking care of the basketball. Nebraska loses this game for sure.

If the officials stop swallowing their whistles,  NU will be fine.

Hate that officials don't think they can call a foul every time a pressing team plays hands on defense.

I’ve only caught the occasional snippet of Nebraska basketball over the past few years, and been disappointed every time. I turned on the second half tonight and was pleasantly surprised to see a halftime lead over a Big East team. 
 

But then it was nothing but absolute dog$h!t. 
 

This product is f**king terrible, Hoiberg. Time to GTFO.

It’s going to be a loonnggg season for Nebraska against the B1G teams.

Don't seem like our guys have ever heard of defense for an entire game. Makes you wonder what they're coaching these guys.

Second half I would agree.

 

“Entire game” is not accurate.

That first half might be the best first half NU has played vs a P5 team in a long time.

 

Then SJ realized that NU has no one that can dribble.

I tuned in for the 2H. I was surprised to see we had a lead. Then it disappeared in like 4 minutes. They looked like a Jr High team trying to bring the ball up the court. Shouldn't be this bad in year 5(?) of a coaching tenure. Not sure what's going on. Not sure a coaching change will help since it seems like we're just always bad.

Great first half.  Enjoyable.  Exciting. 

 

Then 2nd half got real, real quick.  If we don't learn from this and get better, the Big Ten will be another long, painful year.

My guess it that SJ's would finish like...10th, in the big ten...so might not be a good sign for NU

Yeah, this is like when the football team lost to NW and people started to say how great NW will be in the B1G.  Really? LOL Nope.  Not in that situation and not now in basketball either.  Husker BB has a tough hill to climb

It's almost like our coaches don't know that they'll have to dribble, shoot, and play defense. Will we have a point guard who can bring the ball up? At what point of the season will that kick in?
