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

[RedEyedFanatic]

I mean, we could stillake a run here. 11 points in 2 minutes is hard, but they could do it.

Serious question: What positives can we take from tonight?

If we play like we can we beat this team comfortably. We just played stupid, missed too many free throws, missed wide open layups, and got frustrated too early.

[RedEyedFanatic]

Nevermind

[GATA]

Tech should he a tournament team. They have some really good players and a helluva good defense.

 

No shame in losing to this team, only how it happenend.

Fugly Fugly night

Do we? We really couldn't handle their toughness. Maybe it's just an awful matchup for us.

[Cazzie22]

In retrospect, the easy early lead may have led to some complacency and we did not respond when Tech hit us in the mouth.

What is concerning is this is what most B1G teams are going to look like, not the first 4 games- so we have a ton of work to do.

Well, it’s pretty certain Roby won’t be making the jump to the league next year

[colhusker]

If I have Nebraska on the schedule I do what tech did.  Pack it in and make us play half court

Ya - that appeared to be a terrible matchup. Rebounds... points in paint... 50-50 balls... how many assists do we have??

I think if Palmer didn't get in foul trouble early, we might have rolled. Those 2 quick ones totally destroyed the momentum and changed the way the game was played

Well then, that's something we need to work on. No excuse for having an obvious flaw teams an exploit, and running into this team in the tourney and just shrugging and bending over. Time to learn from the tape. Tech is incredible at what they do, but nothing is impossible to scheme against.

F***, marry, kill
1. Shot tracker
2. These refs 
3. Nebraska shot selection/ball movement

That's the problem, these other teams don't even get called for a foul when they punch people in the mouth.

[colhusker]

62% from FT line

36% from the floor

22% from 3

 

Not going to win doing that when you also can't defend

[demone]

Pretty much hate everything about what happened in this game tonight. Reminded me too much of what I've been watching for the past 15+ years.

[Aaron Baldwin]

This was an ugly game.  Palmer with 3 charges. (1 legit) Miles got T'd up.  Refs killed momentum of the game and left the team frustrated.  They continued to be frustrated and became flat.  It's not the end of the world, but beating a Elite 8 school the previous year would have been huge for this team's confidence.  This type of game could shatter it back to the way they played last year before conference play.

 

Palmer again was pretty invisible tonight.  He needs to take control of these games and be a leader on the floor. 

 

A few more of these type performances and Miles will be done this year.

[ZAYWHAT!]

I blame this debacle on the lavender shoes worn by Glynn and James.

I don’t believe Iwas being literal.

[northwillriseagain]

Well when you don’t want to run without the ball, this will happen.

 

I was hoping for more fight.

 

horrible shot selection, but that’s a product of people not working to get open.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Every big ten team thinking...oh, we just take a bunch of charges to stop JPJ 

never was an issue last year-
