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

[NeeandMe]

Miles had a fairly impressive coaching season. My gosh this game is quite the opposite.

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?

Because Michigan is a 5 seed and we should be playing an 11 seed first

it's so difficult to be a Husker basketball fan!

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. 

Dam, that’s crazy. I assumed the whole country had BTN.  Maybe we can hope that only Bruce Rasmussen is at this game and nobody else is watching.

And if KU's last shot rattles in we aren't even having this discussion so

Can he do it again next year?

[jayschool]

John Beilein gonna be like all: "Oh, defs. Neb's a tourney team. They awesome." Ain't gonna make a damn bit of difference.

we don't deserve to go after this. we've earned our fate. but that's the way it is. they'll get better and I don't think we're going to lose anyone from the returning core. Palmer will be back.

Not sure Miles has missed all the shots

[PimpMario]

And if KU's last shot rattles in we aren't even having this discussion so 

And if TO kicked an extra point...

 Honestly? I have my doubts. 

[PimpMario]

We don't lose at home. So we should be able to make it back to New York if we get a 1 seed in the NIT

 correct, but he's also the one trying to fix it by saying "move more"

Using this one game to decide is no different

[Huskerpapa]

We are not out of the NCAA talk...

Well he is correct there IS to much standing.  If they don't move after being told

[hskr4life]

I don't ge the whole "We don't deserve to go after this." crowd.  One bad game shouldn't be the difference between a bid or not.

 

I can understand the "we just don't have the body of work" crowd, but the "We don't deserve it because of this game" crowd just seems like we are upset with how things have went today.  Believe me, I am too.

[PimpMario]

 Honestly? I have my doubts. 

I am afraid we are going to have serious attrition and go 12-20 next year.

I still think that we've done enough to make the play-in game, but this game sureeeeeee puts a damper on things and is going to make for a long wait.

 

 You're dreaming. They are looking at the same thing the rest of the country sees and probably thinking the same thing, That Nebraska is a team that away from home wilts under pressure.

 

UCF, St. Johns, OSU, Penn State, Illinois and today.. the committee has a long time to disect our team and once you are away from PBA it's almost all bad except one game against the worst Badger team in nearly 20 years.

As a program, we have to start showing up in big games (post season), it’s beyond the time to put up or shut up.  Michigan was clearly superior today and I dearly hope for a different result tonight.

[royalfan]

Frustrating how stupid we played today.  I thought we were beyond that.  We took the shots Michigan wanted us to take.  Way too many long two's.  The shot chart is a clinic on how to play the game of college basketball by Michigan.  Took maybe 2 or 3 2's of any distance the entire game.

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

 

Big picture I’m glad about the season, and am glad Tim is gonna stick around. Just is painful to be so close and be so good all year then have it ripped away in a do or die game
