Maryland (17-6) vs. Nebraska (13-9) Game Thread

[tcp]

Probably not a popular opinion, but we still don't look good.

I don't remember players in the 80s and 90s stepping out of bounds so frequently on the sideline...is it entirely due to the 3 PT line or are the schools no longer teaching spatial awareness

Solid start but I personally feel like I am falling back into bad Nebrasketball watching habits from the 2000's  in hoping we survive each 4 minute segment until the next timeout.

A lead is a lead sir.

It's B. And it isn't just athletes.

i misss the days when palmer could finish

[hskr4life]

Some one else can’t grab a rebound!  This just might be our night!

[Red Don]

Getting some calls now.  Let's get Maryland in Foul Trouble for a change!

[hhcscott]

How many steps is Smith allowed on that three? Triple jump stop?

[HuskerFever]

When you win the rebounding game and 50/50 balls, you have a chance to maintain a lead?

 

Interesting concept.

[demone]

At this point, I'm starting to feel really bad for Glynn Watson. Kid just can't get anything to drop for him.

[hskr4life]

Let Roby take every shot tonight?

[Cowboy Kermit]

All it took to get some calls was a 5 game losing streak and a sparsely filled arena. Duly noted

Feel like he is one that if he gets a few to drop, he’ll heat up.

Nice assist by Thorir

Big 10 went from 10 teams in the dance to 9... Jimmy D said we can’t have that.

[WestOHusker]

Hell of a dish to Roby from Thor

[royalfan]

Effort is there.  That is a very good sign that they haven't checked out.  Need a win and then hope that Palmer and Watson get it figured out down the stretch.  No margin for error now.  Cannot lose any winnable games.

I didn't think we'd be leading 15-8 mid-way in the First Period!

Easily the best passer on the team.  Not close.  Bummer that his shooting has gotten worse since he arrived, which seems to be a common theme.

thor can dish. they're leaving him open for shots. would love for us to do what teams have been doing lately. let the open guy can a few open treys. 

[LNKtrnsplnt]

Didn’t look at previous posts. Emptiest arena ever: best fans in the country!

Agree. I was one starting to think they were in an unrecoverable spin downward and was figuring the team would start to quit. So far, I have no problem admitting I was wrong.
