Nebrasketball Game #1- Western Illinois: Tuesday, November 9 7:00pm (BTN+)

I find myself having very little patience with ballyhooed Husker teams that fail to show up and want to play me first basketball. They have much work to do.

What a sad sad showing.  

 

[Husker4Real]

Uhhh, c’mon Huskers.  Please don’t destroy all hope on opening night.

 

[TonyStalloni]

Until this team decides that every player on the floor needs to box out we have what we see tonight. Effort like this will get you beat by 40 in the Big Ten.

Uhhh, c’mon Huskers.  Please don’t destroy all hope on opening night.

Against an Illinois team at that....

 

[Husker4Real]

I checked to see that maybe Western Illinois was at least a good Summit league team.

They are not.  

 

[Husker4Real]

Missed two FT’s in the final minute?

Check.

 

[Big red surfers]

It seems nothing changes from year to year.  

 

[Lorewarn]

Well....

that sucked f#&%ing balls.

I should have known....why can't we have nice things?!  Smfh.

 

[TonyStalloni]

Weak!!

 

[Husker4Real]

There is no way to spin this - it’s an absolutely devastating way to start the season.  Losing to a team like Western Illinois means you can forget about even the most modest expectations for this team.  .500 season?  Forget it.  Dare you hope for maybe even an NIT bid.  Forget it.  Losing this game means NU will be lucky to reach double digits in wins.

NU checked all of their typical boxes.  Missed 4 of 6 free throws in the final minute and gave up 2 treys.

Ridiculous.  
 

Get ready for another abysmal season.

I wonder if it's too late to give that btn+ subscription back....
