Michigan (25-7) vs. Nebraska (22-9) game thread

[colhusker]

How many god damn steps is he allowed?

[PimpMario]

Most folks around the country haven’t watched this team. Unfortunately we laid a complete egg on National TV. We can pray for a miracle from the committee but nobody else is going to buy this team landing a bid now. 

All of our games were on btn. No one is watching this game

[Cazzie22]

Michigan can eat up the clock against the zone.

[jayschool]

Hey, MSG! We'll be back in about three weeks. Hopefully we'll know how to shoot with that background next time.

[PimpMario]

Jordy transfers if we lose this game!!!!

I don't like our chances to hold onto Jordy, Roby, Copeland and Palmer.

oh, someone's watching it alright. we'll be reading about it in an hour or so. as everything goes "poof".

i think Lunardi getting his, "see? told ya so" moment might be the most infuriating thing of all. 

[Cazzie22]

Think it would be a good idea to try to get an offensive rebound every time down the floor.

1-3-1 zone did not work...

Do most people really not have BTN? I guess I haven’t paid attention much but it seems most folks carry BTN.  Folks love March basketball in the day on a Friday. If they aren’t watching it...they are keeping tabs of the score. Of course, anyone who has a say in us getting a bid is likely watching.

Turned into the Nebraska from the past couple years.  No offense.  Can't defend the three.

[colhusker]

We sure don't look like a good 3 pt defense today

[PimpMario]

Making it to the NIT and 20+ wins is good enough progress to save Miles job....

BTN isn't anywhere outside the footprint without paying through the nose for it and only on satellite. I just moved back to NE from the South. Couldn't catch a game at all the last season and a half.

We are no more on national television today than we have ever been this season.

Sadly we didn't get any games on fox or ESPN

Man. I could not have been more disappointed with an NIT appearance than I am. Just heartbreaking after how good this season was

Sigh...

 

What a dreadful effort on both ends. We rarely stopped dribble drives and it led to roughly 20 open 3s. What's infuriating is that we've seen this offense before.

 

We deserve every bit of this 20 point loss.

If you support Miles than you should be happy that he probably had a good enough season to save his job.

Put yourselves in the unbiased shoes of a comittee member-:

Barring a major miracle here, there is no way in hell I'm putting this team in the tourney after watching this debacle.

We lay an egg against one of the better foes we've faced all year.  On a neutral court.  Why would I put the Huskers in just for them to do the same thing in two weeks?

[tcp]

obviously hoping to be more competitive. I still think if we showed up at all we might have squeaked in. they just played their way out of the tournament definitively. that's the most disappointing thing. i get that it was a lot of pressure lately and it was inevitable probably that we would crumble under it. but still....all they needed was one more good effort....erg. Nebrasketball---the program that time forgot.
