Nebraska (5-4) vs. Kansas (8-1) Game Thread

[nustudent]

We need to start Gill at 3.    Let him get some time with the starting lineup to knock the dust off.

We're 12 for 31, they're 21 for 31. And it's not all about getting good looks, though that helps.

I know they are talented.  Very talent.  But I sooooo envy the KU offense

Did you say that when Sadler was here running the same offense (as we heard over and over)?

[HuskerFever]

Well...

[tcp]

Rough game. Such a brutal schedule. I hope it doesn't break this team before they even start their conference run.

 

 

[atskooc]

I thought that was our ball out of bounds!

[Huskerpapa]

You have to be kidding me!!!  Now, I am not going to debate a foul or not, but what a make up call awarding KU the ball.

[hal9000]

Yeah, that figures.  Ahh, just like old times.

Sorry, but, they are waaaaay better than Creighton.

And UCLA as well.

These refs are an embarrassment to basketball.  It goes both ways.  Jordy fouled Mason on the 3.  Never touched the ball.  They call no foul, but they give the ball to Kansas.

Yes I did.  But again, note that I began the sentence with "I know they are talented>"  Oftentimes that is what makes the major difference. 

[Dead Dog Alley]

So...just why is there always crooked officiating helping Kansas? They don't need it! Then they get to the tournament and happen to have a fairly officiated game and are in trouble.

[hskr4life]

Hey... we can still do this... right?  Whose with me?  

 

Anyone?

 

Please?

 

Right?

Well technically there is a chance we could.  But I am not going to bet on it

[hskr4life]

Seriously though... has any team played 3 possible Final 4 contenders in their first 10 games besides us?

[FredsSlacks]

we're playing with very little enthusiasm. not a good sign this early in the season.

[HuskerBB]

Maybe we struggle so much on offense because we practice against Horne and Fuller who don't play any defense

I don't know that I'd say that... if we had little enthusiasm, it'd be 60 to 30

[brfrad]

Now, those getting on Miles for not playing Horne during meaningful games.  Will this game prove Miles has a point?  I think Horne will be a valuable player for us, in the future.  Especially if he gets this defensive thing down.  He lost his man for a 3, let his guy blow by him, which made him get an easy put back, then tried dribbling through a double team for an easy Kansas lay-up.  That was 7 points he gave up without scoring.

Even when KU doesn't get the call it goes their way.  

[huskerbaseball13]

KU is obviously very good. Way out of our league. But we should not be down 20 to them at the half. Nor should we be giving up over 50 points in a half. Another lackluster display early.

I want to prove those smug bastards in Vegas that we can lose to Kansas by less than 20 points.

we're technically covering right now if you got the spread at 20.5... but 20 minutes to go.

[jayschool]

Will Kansas shoot 65 percent the rest of the game? If so, we don't cover or even come close to covering. If we shoot 65 percent, we cover.
