Purdue (17-4) vs. Nebraska (9-11) Game Thread

We come out of the gates at the beginning of halves, slowly.  Need to get that energy back we had on offense.

[HuskerFever]

My favorite part is that we're not down by double-digits right now.

[Bugeaters1]

The best line up we had was horne and jack in with webster, watson, taylor.

[PimpMario]

We had a bunch of opportunities when it was 44-44.

[PimpMario]

You can't leave their best 3 shooter for no reason

[bobcat402]

Back to back possessions were I don't understand what Watson is doing with his help defense, leaving open dead eye shooters, where his help on the ball would of been negligible regardless 

[Bugeaters1]

Bale out call.

[HuskerFever]

Let's just take a moment to pause and talk about the crowd, because this board seems to be very critical of it at times. We're on a five-game losing streak right now, yet we have a fan base who hasn't given up. Sure, they could be much more vocal during the good times, but at least they've stuck around through the bad times!

It's a good crowd today, coming through really well on TV and as always I like BTN camera angles, they do a good job of presentation 

[brfrad]

Terrible call.  He took steps before the first shot.  And, I think they are giving him free throws.

What's the math logic behind continuing to double the post when it's giving up 3's to a great 3pt shooting team? 

 

2<3

 

Just don't foul and play the percentages. 

[PimpMario]

Apparently free throws ain't free

[brfrad]

We have played 9 minutes and have as many fouls as the first half 

[fr8-train]

Why do they always let the big guys bang their elbows in our chest and then bail them out with just a traveling call?

Even including percentages:

FG 45.8%

3P 58.8%

 

0.458 * 2 = 0.916 pt per attempt

0.588 * 3 = 1.764 pt per attempt

Welcome to the second half Horne

[HuskerFever]

I wish Horne took practice more seriously, because he's had some highlight-worthy plays when he's played!

Is that the scuttlebutt that he doesn't take practice seriously?

Can you blame him if he decides to transfer.

If he doesn't play D, do you think he would play else where?

[jayschool]

However this game progresses, can we just agree to end it with two seconds left? Please?

[NeeandMe]

Miles is going to have to learn to deal with the heartache Horne provides on defense.  

[PimpMario]

He got the rebound there and assisted on the defensive end.

If he needs to get better at defense then work with him, don't freeze him out.

Or, we could just believe the coaches that his effort in practice was lacking.  It might have been better since, hence the reason he is getting minutes today.
