Nebraska (13-10) vs. Purdue (16-5) Game Thread

[MichHusker]

They start making a run and we take terrible contested 3s...it’s very clear why we struggle scoring 

[royalfan]

whatever you do Tim, don't call time out.  Another game another ridiculous run without calling a time out.  I can't believe this shit.  

[Huskerpapa]

We only have one player wanting to shoot the ball.  You cannot play a game like that.  Goodness, put in the walk ons if the starters don't want to shoot.  And we had good spacing in the first half...that went by the wayside as well.

[Cazzie22]

Why wait for Purdue to break it open? Call a timeout!

[tcp]

Well, we'll always have a quality half.

We can't offend anyone.

Is this where we fold up our tent and go home???

GRADY EIFERT, tonight's winner of a Husker-gifted career night for an otherwise unheralded player

Somebody has to sneak up on Harms while he is sleeping and shave that mop off the top of his head.

If recent past is prelude, pretty much. We'll make a token "tighten up" mini-run at the end to get it within, I dunno, 15. 

 

But yeah, this is where we stay on the canvass. Mostly it's we can't shoot--again--and Purdue isn't missing. 

 

Bad combo. 

[Huskerpapa]

It would sure be nice if we could find shooters like Purdue and almost every other team has.

[tcp]

what we're doing with the clock on offense is a war crime. lucky to have two last second threes so far. 

[Cazzie22]

It seems to this observer that Palmer doesn’t know the offense.  A double screen was set opposite the ball and he cuts baseline instead.  Roby has a size advantage and stays on the perimeter.  Allen hitting shots is the only saving grace.

[Huskerpapa]

I am a bit confused...what did Nana do in the first halve for him not to play thus far in the second half?

I can't really blame him - no one else has figured out the offense either.

lazy inbounds pass almost picked off. I mean, this team just says "nap time" and stops. 

 

allen personally keeping us within hailing distance with hero ball. 

 

 

[tcp]

and here comes the schizo refs deciding to call everything they let go in the first half.

we're definitely slower and less energetic than the first half though. Are they eating a buffet at halftime?

YES....Glynn!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HuskerBB]

That looked like the old Glynn - finally.

 

[Huskerpapa]

Need to block out Tom...come on!

[tcp]

glynn makes a shot! call the papers!

[Handy Johnson]

If yer gonna make a run Red it’s NOW
