I love Glynn, but he is killing us right now.

I do to but we would be better off if he fouled out today.

He's had a really bad day

His struggles go back farther than just today.

I've been watching a lot of hoops lately... And I'm trying to remember when teams stopped running the break where you get the ball to the middle and draw and dish instead of just putting your head down, running directly at the basket and jacking up a contested shot.

[tcp]

we get to 6 or 7, then puke up a bunch of bad play. 

[tcp]

this team is infuriating. we get close. mistakes upon mistakes. 

just a big fat basket of dumb. 

[colhusker]

Who ever is coaching in Lincoln next year had better find some big bodies.

[HuskerFever]

WHO WANTS IT?

 

[hhcscott]

Bezhanishvili is Georgian for "push in the back"

[tcp]

for our next trick, back to crappy defense. it's like there's a game show wheel out there with "spin and pick your next act of self-destruction"

[hhcscott]

Watson showing tremendous matador skills on that drive !Ole!

[tcp]

that'll do it. dagger shot from a hustle play. appropriate. 

[hhcdave]

Oh well. Maybe Allen and roby will stay and the new coach can keep half of the recruits?

This team is a big smoldering pile of garbage right now, it's like watching a train wreck - I can't look away.

If I’m TM, I’m telling Tom his job is now to be our go to scorer/volume shooter.  He is literally the ONLY one who can actually shoot the basketball well.  

 

Also, Thor should get every second of Nana’s minutes.

this is going to be a very long last few weeks. i don't envy the fans.

Glynn is dribbling backwards more than forwards

Double double for Tanner

[colhusker]

Has Roby ever not taken the ball fake

[hhcscott]

Tanner and Thor...Batman and Robin.

[colhusker]

If we had made our FTs

[Handy Johnson]

You can’t spell NIT without Nebraska...

People can hate on fans for not sticking with it & supporting the team. I get it. But I also understand the other side - an emotional investment in a team has a major downside if said team is really bad. If you have to step away to maintain your sanity, do it. I’m teetering there myself right now.
