Penn St. (7-8) vs. Nebraska (11-4) Game Thread

This may be an over reaction, but our defense and defensive rebounding are killing us.   

[colhusker]

Roby playing great

[hskr4life]

It feels like we are a 4-0 or 6-0 run away from having this thing.  Let's do it right here.

[colhusker]

Our defense is just a step slow

[tcp]

sure, let's just give up unlimited dunks. good lord. 

[nustudent]

As long as they are in man, Roby needs to touch the ball every trip down with these matchups tonight

[tcp]

good christ. this is killing this damned team. such garbage play on the boards. 

[HuskerFever]

WAKE UP EVERYONE!!

[Cazzie22]

Hard to get a run when we can’t get a defensive rebound.

[hskr4life]

If there is one positive so far tonight, it has to be the play of Roby.  Get the other four going like we have the rest of the season and that would be awesome.

[colhusker]

If Palmer and Copeland can get going at all we pull away

[nustudent]

Copeland has been horrific tonight

[hskr4life]

One thing that I noticed is that we have almost been trying too hard.  It has showed on a few of their easy buckets and offensive boards.  We are flying around, and going for rebounds, but we haven't got many bounces lately.

I've felt this about 5 times in this game. Thinking "alright, here we go winning this thing by 12" and then we're just flat footed.

This game certainly isn't inspiring confidence or making me think we turned a big corner so let's just get out of here with a win and move on to Indiana!

[hskr4life]

We're actually not shooting bad.  They have 9 offensive boards which have killed us.

PSU can do that to you though.  Much like Rutgers.  They'll muck it up.

3 attempt per trip will generally result in a score. this is gross. 

[nustudent]

If Roby does this the rest of the year...he ain't coming back.

[hskr4life]

Huskers up to 52% shooting from the field and 44% from deep.  Another small highlight.

[tcp]

thank goodness for Zay tonight. we'd be toast otherwise. 

[The Polish Rifle]

It’s B1G basketball from here on out. Win pretty, win ugly - just win. 

[colhusker]

How many offensive rebounds do they have?

[HuskerFever]

Even with a win tonight, this sure has sucked a lot of steam out of the momentum of this season...
