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

Man...that timeout Miles called killed us at the end.  Watson was running free and would have got a much better shot off.

Shoot shoot shoot!

32 minutes of bad basketball, then 8 minutes that brought us back.  Should have won it at the end of regulation.

This one really hurts. These kind of games put me in a dark, dark place.

Miles is terrible at the end of games

that was a rough OT all around. That Roby wave-off on the make was the turning point. PSU was on the ropes if that had counted. And missing FTs didn't help. Close, but no cigar. Road wins so hard to get and so few true opportunities. We're gonna regret this one at the end of the year most of all.

Why didn’t we do some offense/defense subbing late in the game?  Palmer could have helped create shots.  Anyone notice that PSU switched Watkins to Jack and put Lamar on Roby?

[northwillriseagain]

That felt like every Nebrasketball season ever. 

 

Losing to penn state is the same feeling other teams get when we beat them.

[NUdiehard]

Huge mistake calling that timeout with 2.7 seconds left. PSU team celebrating at half court had chance to get clean inbound up court before Miles called TO

Have to make the FT though.

It was not a great lineup for offense - particularly with Taylor.  But that was the group that made the 1-3-1 work.  We did bring Gill in at the end to help on O.

wow... that's incredibly accurate, actually. imo. 

[huskerbaseball13]

Nice comeback to give us a chance. Hero ball doesn’t work for us at the end. Unfortunately, games like that separate the contenders and the pretenders. Have to win the next two.

IF we were legitimate, this is one we would've won. it was all set up. a lot of things to point to, it's a collective effort and failure. just hope they have as much composure as I have seen in them so far and what they're capable of. This team might be NIT if we can handle the pressure.

Ugh...... I probably should't be posting in this mood, I might say some depressing things. This isn't me.

Regarding the end of regulation, to me it looked like they were trying to get Cope curling around a Roby screen at the top of the key, but Watkins disrupted the set by making it difficult for Roby to set a screen for Watson, thus the play took too long to develop, and by the time Copeland was curling Watson must have felt like there was not enough time so he launched a three.

Bad offensive sets down the stretch doomed us.

Dear God...let us have nice things tonight....and for our remaining games.  

I am now agnostic...and not feeling great.  For the record, NyQuil does not mix well with rum.

Exactly.  Not sure if PSU called it from the bench but they took us out of our play before it ever started.   Roby had been struggling from the line so maybe they thought even if they call the foul it is not a bad thing for them if Roby goes to the line with time left.

I look forward to the day when NBA 3s are no longer en vogue in a tie game late. We need better from Watson in those situations.
