The dude walked.

[Huskerpapa]

We have to stop this run,

[bobcat402]

The touch fouls we get called for, and the ones we don't get on our poessions are becoming quite annoying

Who is Julie Tuttle?

She was the women's trainer last year. And now she is seating at the end of Nebraska's bench.

[Huskerpapa]

Man we are as cold as ice.

[TourneyBound]

Mcveigh is killing us out there!!! He needs to score to make up for his defense!

[HuskerFever]

Nebraska's shooting percentage right now...

 

[Huskerpapa]

Oh man, we are letting it get away from us. 

[atskooc]

Damn, that kid's good.

rough back part of the half. offensively, we look totally out of synch. UCLA looks really good.

Obviously they're a better team, but we can still play them better than this. Gotta just be smarter on offense and get better position on D.

In spite of a sketchy show so far, I still think I'm looking at the core of the team that's going to end the tourney drought. Soon.

Jordy...what the hell are you doing?? That guy is a huge scoring threat from the elbow. Don't give him 12 feet of space!

[Silverbacked1]

Well if we could hit a shot we might get back in this.

[aphilso1]

Not sure why UCLA went away from their zone d the last couple possessions.  We were approximately 1 for 63 shooting against it...

[Huskerpapa]

Our offense is so anemic right now.  I am somewhat surprised we are only down by 13.

[hal9000]

Agree with the TV color guy.  I feel like we need to attack more on offense, with Tai and Glynn and Gill.  

[jayschool]

Fidel Castro is dead, so there's that.

glynn's been okay, but tai's gotta get visible again soonest or this will get ugly.

 

not sure how tired these guys are from yesterday, either, although UCLA has the same issue.

 

 

[MichHusker]

Already a couple double digit comebacks today. Maybe we can do the same. Gotta shoot about 20% better and play the same or better level of defense 

[cipsucks]

Howdy, everyone.  Haven't been able to participate in a game thread for awhile.  Let's win this bitch.

Also props to his ability to crunch the percentage of 1 divided by 8

[royalfan]

I have to give credit to UCLA.  Switching a lot, not allowing the drives to come easily.  We just don't quite have enough shooting to make them be hesitant to double the ball briefly while switching.  This is exactly how we should be defended.  I thought UCLA would be a bit softer, but they are playing solid defense. 

[jayschool]

We're 10 of 35 from the field, so it's not just the 3-pointers that aren't falling.

 

UCLA is 16 of 32, and 5 of 14 from deep.

FIFY

[atskooc]

UCLA is damn long. 

[hskr4life]

I for one am surprised to only be down 13 playing a half like that.
