Nebraska (12-6) vs. Penn St. (12-6) Game Thread

[PimpMario]

I know I say this a lot... but we certainly look the better team.

We are. But we know from first hand experience that the worst team can ugly a game up and pull out a win

[HolyBobpilgrimage]

these are two evenly-matched squads, looks like another slugfest B1G game on our hands

[Huskerpapa]

We are in good shape.  We need to stay away from offensive droughts and we should be okay.

[Bugeaters1]

Huskers won that segment.

 

[Huskerpapa]

They have a few really good players.  Like us, this is their best talent in a few years.

[brfrad]

Please move the crowd mic.  That is the most annoying sound.  The crowd so sparse you have to have the 3 or so people yell into the mic phone to make it seem bigger.

[Bugeaters1]

Need to get cope, and Gill going.

I have a feeling that we’re going to be the “better team” in most of our remaining games sans Michigan and OSU and maybe Maryland..  We need to play like it however.

Gill got that drive.  Then he went out.

Ok, we got good Glenn tonight, a huge plus.  We also are giving up too many easy paths to the basket and easy looks.  That has to get fixed or this is going to be tighter than maybe it should be.

yeah, success is incumbent on taking the bull by the horns and willing your way to a win. You need talent as a base before that step, but then you have a chance. Idk if ANY of that made sense

Funny cause we’re the 8 point dog.

YES. it'll be close, but on the flip side of the coin, we can easily make this a blowout by the second half if we shock the crowd and grab a bit of a lead. I feel like we play really well from front this year

[Huskerpapa]

Some crappy play the last two or three minutes.  Crap.

[Huskerpapa]

Gotta knock down those wide open looks...

[PimpMario]

We are playing some ugly basketball

[brfrad]

Not a great start.  Need to start making some shots.  Pretty decent effort on the defensive end, but struggling to shoot.

That's always the first half game plan.  Lull them to sleep and then catch them off guard in the 2nd.

Just need to keep this close.  Can’t have them pull away at all.

[brfrad]

Carr's done much worse.  Like the announcer said you could call that every trip.

[PimpMario]

Finally got off 16

[hskr4life]

Good thing they can’t make a FT.

[PimpMario]

Other than Watson we have nothing

[hal9000]

Watson’s found his game, but now Palmer and Cope are MIA 

[hskr4life]

OH ALLLEN!!!!!

OH ALLEN!!!!
