It has been a struggle for points all year.

 

and apparently this will continue. It's just always something with this program.

We're a terrible shooting team.

Getting tired of saying that....year after year after year

Even against Sacramento State........sadly.

This, this is painful

Awful coaching tonight on both ends in the second half.  Really disappointed we couldn't stick with matchups that were working.  There's no way this team can play finesse ball.  We don't shoot well enough.

 

We need to pretend we're West Virginia or something.  Crash boards, play physical, block shots.

So painful.

IF McVeigh ever finds his shot, which I am starting to think it's gone the way of Fullers, we are going to have to do what they do spread the floor and kick to him, he can not create.

How do you win against a team shooting 50% FG and 35.7% 3PM?

If we play like this later this week, KU may beat us by 50.

Once Tai got his 4th foul, this game was over.  Tai cannot get in foul trouble, ever.  If he does, this team can't score.

Let me guess how this goes after the....Miles apologizes.  Cracks a few jokes about his record against McDermott.  We go on to win 13 games this year. Rinse. Repeat. Rinse. Repeat. 

[HuskerFever]

SIXTEEN points in the last 18 minutes.

[nustudent]

My slack for Miles is diminishing quickly.

Miles has to figure out how to have an offense where more than one guy scores.

It's starting to look like that. Miles can talk all he wants about how he understands how big this game is, but that can only get him so far. If we make the tourney any given year, this Creighton game doesn't matter. But if we don't, then this game holds much more significance.

13 wins and its a 50-50 toss up as to whether he keeps his job.

Phog Allen will be a house of horrors!

 And the defensive wizard Coach Mo not much better. Same story different year...can't shoot, give up far too many open looks. 

[HuskerFever]

Let's stay on the positive side for now. I might be wrong, but I think this team has yet to give up on a game this year (no matter how bad this has gotten out of hand).

6 wins within the Big Ten is a very real possibility again.

10 wins is too with the parody in the league this year

[colhusker]

Who said rinse and repeat?  Perfect analogy of Miles first 5 years

[Cazzie22]

I would like some inside out play.  Put the ball into the post and kick it back from there.  We cannot play on the perimeter when our 3 and 4 cannot win off the dribble.  Roby needs to play more in my opinion.

[Fullbacksympathy]

Roby had a decent game tonight:

 

4pts

7rb

1ast

1blk

 

He didn't shoot well, but he made plays, and that's a lot more than I can say for McVeigh.  

 

I think it's time to start Roby at the 3.
