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

 

Less sucked out than a loss..

i'm about to throw shit watching o board after o board. 

[hskr4life]

14 O Rebounds given up.

[colhusker]

We need to run a double to help Copeland

all of them

Cope looks like a boy amongst men. 

[colhusker]

With not subbing this half legs are going to go. What’s the worst Tyler or Nanna could get up a layup or offensive board?

[Cazzie22]

IF we get out of tonight with a W,we can be thankful.

[Bugeaters1]

Damn.

I know I’m beating a dead horse but starters playing the entire second half: not sustainable!!

Yes, it is evident Nebraksa has a side bet with someone to see how many offensive rebounds we can give up and still win.  Our "want to" on the boards has got to be improved.  Rebounding is putting your body into someone, boxing out and giving effort.  We are failing miserably in that regard but doing awesome on that side bet.

Remember that PSU is 0-4 but their conference losses are by 6 to Maryland, 2 to Indiana, 13 to Michigan, and 19 to Wisconsin.

Starters could help themselves by building a little lead and giving themselves a breather.

Just a stupid shot by Palmer

[colhusker]

I know we don’t have a true big but we have enough height that if we boxed out we should never hover up double digit offensive rebounds.

[Bugeaters1]

Need a score here bad

yeah, this isn't about height. this is about technique and effort. 15 offensive boards so far and counting. 

[hskr4life]

Man... I feel like I need to shower to clean the blood off after this one.  We have said all along that the Big 10 was going to be a grind.  Don't know why we expected anything different tonight.  Just get the W.

Sorry to ruin the mood, but ESPN has 16 offensive boards...

Isn't like 110% of the Big Ten ranked this season though? 

[nustudent]

Put in Harris for Palmer.  

[colhusker]

Palmer is just forcing things way to often

[hskr4life]

Why can they body Palmer up the entire baseline?

at this point we can just round to blocks of 5.

The past few games have made me a little nuts with JPJ - tonight is another example.
