We are officially beyond a shadow of a doubt bad at 3 point defense

 

And 3 point offense

[The Polish Rifle]

We were 341st in the country in 3-point percentage defensive coming into tonight. 

[fred1212]

excellent at rolling the ball down the floor tho

 

[PimpMario]

Hopefully no one loses their temper

It's going to get worse if they shorten the shot clock.

Some students still here..

No reason to expect anything else. 

 

We're bad, and we're getting smoked. 

[atskooc]

It doesn't matter, but how was that not a travel?

[huskerbaseball13]

Pathetic on every level. 

[atskooc]

We just got bitch slapped. 

[hskr4life]

Not at the game or watching.  Are we not giving effort?

 

Is this like a nail in the coffin type of game?

They havent exactly been throwing stuff up with hands in their face.  When you get wide open looks most P5 teams will shoot a decent percent

Frustrating night for sure. Not sure what happened. 

[Cazzie22]

Tough week ahead.  Team has to find some consistent offense without all the turnovers!

Aren't Nebrasketball fans immune from shame?

Is immune the right word, or maybe numb?

Defensively, it was same ole same ole.  

Offensively, ran into a team with something left to play for

[huskerbaseball13]

If Miles is really coaching for his job...he's sure not making it hard on Eichorst. To let that team come in and dominate on the court is a pretty bad look.

Agreed. Illinois played some inspired, locked-in defense. 

 

I wish I could be a fly on the wall in our coach's meetings - I'd like to know what they really think is going on with the 3pt D. 

[brfrad]

We had been defending the 3 pretty well the last 4 games

 

Wisconsin 8 - 22

Penn State 4 - 20

Ohio State 5 - 17

Michigan State 4 - 15

 

That means in the last 4 games teams were shooting 21 - 74.  That is only 28.3 %.

 

I am disappointed in the team tonight.  This was the first time this year, I seen us get frustrated.  We started to hang our heads after every 3, Illinois made.  Then, instead of attacking the rim.  We tried to take jump shots.  If we did take it to the rim, we were getting no calls, again.  I knew the first half was too good to be true.  We actually had a foul advantage of 9 - 4.  The 2nd half was rough. 

[OmahaHusker]

This is the first game where I don't really have a subtle excuse to help me get over it. I've used freshman development, absence of Morrow, being on the road, playing ranked teams, and just bad match ups this year (MSU). There is no reason to lose by 16 AT HOME to a team one spot above you near the bottom of the conference rankings. What the hell just happened?

[PimpMario]

I'm just sad. And pissed. Now sad. Now pissed. Now sad.
 
Yeah. Sad.

I am perfectly zen about it. There is always next season. If miles isn't the guy there is always next coach and next athletic director. If the cubs can win the world series we can win a tournament game.

Hopefully not a 2007 football vs. Okie State type feel.

[brfrad]

I hope I'm wrong, but I think this team is done mentally and physically.  Tai is playing with one good leg.  They've shown the ability to comeback from these types of losses, but there comes a time when we are not going to comeback from it, which we haven't the last 2 games.  You can't let this snowball.

Well the only thing that brightened the night was I got to watch the game with my granddaughter.

Hopefully, she didn't hear some words she shouldn't be hearing.
