Didn't see where anyone bothered to even start a thread about today's game, so out of semi-apathy, I thought I would.
Turned out the team felt the same way.
If there was ever a team we should have put our foot on their thoat and established some sense of killer instinct, it should have been today.
Instead, in a lethargic display that inspired no one, the Huskers allowed them to hang around and actually make a game out of it with under a minute to play.
After we clanged something like 10 free throws in sucession, all of a sudden a huge lead evaporated.
The positive news is that Ubel went to the free throw line and drained a bunch to stave off a huge upset. (I think we then hit 10 in a row).
Bottom line is this team today looked suspiciously like it did the first game of the season. Disappointing not to see more progress.
Perhaps the opponent, the crowd, the Christmas break, etc. all combined to produce this lackluster effort, but a similar showing in the B!G will be disatrous.
Oh well, we knew this season was going to be filled with trials. And it is.
