Texas Tech (4-0) vs. Nebraska (4-0) Game Thread

Better draw up some offense, or it’s turn out the lights.

Copeland has been dreadful tonight.

[FredsSlacks]

no clue what we are trying to do on offense. we are not good enough to just play iso ball the whole game.

[tcp]

credit tech for taking advantage of a gift. we started well, but never recovered from the butt reaming. looks like last year's team right now. not passing, not spacing, not finishing, just out of sorts.

Down 6 at half.....HOWEVER, we've played like crap. Get a small spark and we can quickly change this around. Have to settle down on offense though 

[huskerbaseball13]

50% of our shots coming from deep. And like usual...a lot of standing around on offense. It’s going to be very very tough to beat good teams if we are cool with settling for jump shots. 

 

We can beat this team though. Need a strong start to the half.

Although down at the half and shooting horribly all around I still dont feel out of this game.
We usually play better the 2nd half.
It seems anyway

yeah, we gotta play that unselfish, moving basketball. anything else is unacceptable. I hate iso ball (except in very select situations) for the same reasons I dislike Carmelo.

We all need to stay away from the ledge and remember that we are playing one of the top defenses in the country.  Yes it was ugly, but we got some great looks.  They just didn’t drop.

 

Expect Palmer to come out and drive again to start the second.  Hope he doesn’t get screwed.  Also need to make the open looks.  It’s not our “offense” more so our inability to make the open shot that first half.

8 pts 4 boards 2 assists 2 steals and some good contests at the rim. Don’t think he’s the problem tonight

[49r]

We're running them off the 3 point line but they're killing us with the dribble drive. Overall we aren't in bad shape if we can just start making some shots.

I really think this game separates the men from the boys. And on this stage, we still have some boys. Ahem, Harris and Nana. If Tech is too athletic for Tanner, maybe give Brady a bit of time- either way, we need to settle down and we can come back

[Silverbacked1]

Okay just got here so this have been stated but this game turned with a time out and a horrible call.

 

We need to get by the horrible call thing and play on.  That has been a problem with Tim's teams in the past.

 

Build a bridge and get over it!

Not watching myself, but it sounds like this is mostly due to their imposition of will as a defense. they're known for this. Much respect to the raiders. We have to figure something out for the second half. refs not helping but this is mostly on us, and on their good defense.

There may be more Jayhawks fans in here than Tech fans, and that's no lie.

kind of irked still at the timing of that Media timeout. but good teams maintain pressure and momentum through timeouts. Oh well. a team cant be on fire all the time, teams will naturally take their bumps and hit rough patches. maturity is working through it and being creative. I believe! tough end to the half. has the spirits low but I'm not out of beer yet. 

nice saying, build a bridge and get over it! I'm taking that

Like us, Tech is very long and active on defense. Our offensive sets...if you want to call them that aren’t helping much. Hopefully the staff can adjust after the break. We need some easy buckets and not hand in the face three attempts by Palmer. 

 

 

[Red Don]

Our shots just weren't falling & inability to finish at the rim!

[B-town hoopsfan]

Hit a few threes and make your layups/free throws and we will pull this out. It’s definitely not gonna be pretty though. 60 points should win this ond

yes. bad threes is old nebraska. lets not settle. I love what we're doing on D, and the fact that we're now a team on the level with a great squad like this. Defense wins championships. I think we get back into this and take control with turnovers and getting to the line. Fouling out always throws a wrench in a coach's plans, and so does making shots. lets get creative. we got this. 

[twister31]

Will have to deal with tech big man though 

[hskr4life]

Almost ready to pack it in a bit and make them beat us from deep as well.  They have been killing us with the drive so far.

it was either this, or high scoring. Have to admit I havent seen TT this year, tho last year they were known as a tough, solid defensive team. Not overly surprised. we can do this.
