Nebraska (6-2) vs Mich St. (6-1) Game Thread

[Huskerpapa]

MSU is a really, really good team.  Once of the top coaches in the country, with multifaceted talent.  If we can shoot in the second half, we still have a chance.

[brfrad]

MSU has made teams better than us look like dog poo this year.  They are really, really good.

Score the first 2 buckets and see what happens. Being down 8 is a lot different than being down 16.

[hskr4life]

And did we mention that we are only down 12!?!?!

And of course, after we open at MSU and vs. Minnesota, our next two conference games are at Northwestern and at Purdue.

NU rarely gets any scheduling favors from B1G.  Maybe it will make the stretch run a bit more navigable.

[Huskerpapa]

Good lord Jordy!

[Fullbacksympathy]

I'd like to see a 1-3-1 zone get more than one possession.  All their MvM shots are layups and putbacks.  

[Huskerpapa]

You CANNOT get a better look than what Jordy just had.

Somebody .gif that.

Tshimanga = comically weak with the basketball

[hskr4life]

Might I ask how that is a foul on Jordy?

 

[nustudent]

Roby needs to start vs Minnesota over Jordy.   Play our best 5 together just once.

[Huskerpapa]

We are getting good feeds to the post...and nada.

[MichHusker]

If it wasn’t clear we need to recruit a center or two, it is now. 

[NUtball]

Nice effort.  Just can't get any rolls.

These are some of the best bigs we have and will play all year.  In case you didn't notice, we get taken to town whether Jordy, Roby, Okeke, ect are down low.

I know this team is.   But Jordy has been downright bad all year regardless of who we play

[brfrad]

Now, I will say that was a bad call on Roby.  He had inside position, and #2 had his arm.

Plus, no foul called on McDoofus on the other end.

MSU is my honest pick for the NC.  Their brand of play works in the tournament, and they are rarely THIS good at the beginning of the year.  Izzo's teams are always about twice as good by tournament time.  Hard to imagine how good this team will be by then.  

[brfrad]

Jordy is playing way too weak.  He does everything right to get a good look, but is not strong enough to finish through contact. 

[Huskerpapa]

Well...great defense for 28 seconds...

[NUtball]

Borchardt!

[brfrad]

More concerning than the offense, is the defense.  We are not a good defensive teams.  Teams can do whatever they want against us, right now. 

[NUtball]

Horrible f'ing call.
