Nebraska (11-3) vs. Iowa (11-3) Game Thread

[The Polish Rifle]

Well eventually we gotta start getting some quad 1 wins. A team that loses every game they are suppose to lose - that’s a bubble team...

Also, we’ve lost two fringe top 25 games on the road.  Step back from the ledge and see that it isn’t all lost.

 

We’ve played the most Top 50 NET teams out of anyone and we are 3-4.  Not too shabby.

I'm not on the ledge yet just in the window casement.

Well, we are quickly turning into 2017-18 Oklahoma

Team needs to be physically and mentally tougher.  The big kid from Penn State May work us over.

Most teams are going to kill us inside.  We can't let teams shoot 35 + % from 3 and give up many points in the paint.

Tough to win on the road. Especially when you don’t play well.  Thursday is now a must win.  Period.  

 

No no excuses to lose at home this year.

Idk what peeves me so much about the "must win" statement, maybe it's that I've used it over the years and I'm just... tired. EVERY GAME IS A MUST WIN can we just stop saying it? Go 30-0 and things are hunky-dory /s

The zone helped us get some momentum but late we should have pressured man.  We gave up too many open looks for 3 because of the zone.  Iowa has shooters.

But if all else holds the same, we don't get selected into the tournament because we don't have ESPN shoving Trae Young down our throats every single game and every single Sports center segment.

You have to shadow the shooters.

Our 3 point D has been shitty as of late.

Actually I haven’t said we had must win game yet this year.  A road Top 25 game isn’t a must win.  No road game is.  But Thursday... Penn St at home.  Feels like a must win fo confidence.

With Indiana and MSU looming - you are dead right.

Not attacking you, it could've been anyone who posted that phrase and I would've gone off. I was just looking for an excuse.

Confidence needs a boost no doubt. I wasnt refuting the idea you were putting out there

[Fastbreaker]

No sweat, it's a road game.

[northwillriseagain]

I still see this team heating up down the stretch and winning a good amount of games, but these are the games that’ll make that first round of the conference and NCAA Tournament that much easier if you win.

A running three at the buzzer rarely goes in.  Doesn’t matter if you’re the only one on the court.

True.  But he still got too close to the basket than he could have IMO.
