Michigan St. (15-2) vs. Nebraska (13-4) Game Thread

[NUtball]

They're going to have to shoot 60% in the second half to overcome the Stooge factor.

disappointing last few minutes again. 

refs eating ass. 

sparty's taking better shots than us, and that's been a major difference. we're hucking too much. 

James ice cold. If he has another half like that, we're sunk.

Their stud has been money, our stud has been awful. 

[PimpMario]

Bad calls help get the crowd into it.  We love being righteously indignant.  

 

The crowd can't quite stay in it

well they are one of the darlings of the B1G so.

'Tis true.  Every year I hope against hope that the so-called blue-bloods will get their comeuppance regarding officiating, but it never happens.  Ticks me off to no end.

Half Time Stats:

 

[hhcscott]

Two points, on free throws from the Huskers from the time Roby went to the bench on a foul that came after both a moving screen and a Winston push-off

[Bugeaters1]

 

[Bugeaters1]

NYQUIL SHOTS are ready.

In the interview with Miles, he called out Roby for getting a stupid 2nd foul.  Well, when you don't actually commit a foul, I'm not sure what the heck you're supposed to do.

[hskr4life]

First 4 minutes are key.  Not saying we have to have the lead.  I am saying we need to not be down by 10+

[nustudent]

Good energy displayed but we haven't executed very well.  Positive thing is we are only down 5 and have gotten nothing out of Palmer

[Dead Dog Alley]

Google image search for “whiney little bitch who mugs up for the cameras” has got to turn up Tom Izzo, you would think.

Lol yeah, I mean at 28% right now that ain't so hot. Might get back to 45% for the game we shoot well and I can see that happening. fingers crossed

[tcp]

palmer couldn't be worse and it's hard for us to shoot worse, too, and only down 5 thanks to turnovers (which I'm sure will be cut down on). 

 

we're going to have to pick it up pretty good to get into this and claw on top.

Apparently, McQuaid's middle name is "Flop"

[NUtball]

Ward fouls Copeland twice.  No call.

Built for it with his ostrich neck.

[HolyBobpilgrimage]

Get a stop. Start fastbreak. Hit FTs. Rinse and repeat.

Really gotta start shooting the leather off the ball tho. Sub 30% isnt good enough. You arent winning big ten games like that.

 

Honestly I'm amazed its 3 points. They have a 15% advantage shooting and they're not killing us. Stick in there and hit a few shots and the crowd will push the momentum in your favor.

Good grief Roby!  Don't compound the mistake.

[tcp]

we have to find something on offense or we're dead. 

[The Polish Rifle]

I hope JP hits a game winner and everyone makes fun of me for this. But JP just seems like the moment is too big and he’s forcing everything. 

[huskerbaseball13]

MSU just not giving us anything on offense. Going to have to make some shots.
