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

[Huskerpapa]

Acid test when we come back from the t.o.  Can we hit our free throws?

[Huskerpapa]

Will we see Glynn shoot the ball again tonight?

 

[tcp]

clock awareness is your friend. 

[Huskerpapa]

Big one for Nana.

[tcp]

dammit. another O board and give up a tray. The kind of shot that has murdered us. 

[HuskerBB]

I want so bad for Glynn to make a shot.

 

[Handy Johnson]

The Nana factor...

[tcp]

Some huge play by Nana right now. Man, we needed that. 

[Nebrasketball1979]

Absolutely love the fight.  This team hasn't quit.  Just got to keep fighting and grinding and give yourself a chance in the final 10 minutes.

Not just him either.  Glynn passed one up earlier and Allen had to take a contested 3 with 0 on the shot clock.

[tcp]

almost every time Glynn drive in he drives right back out. D's are just watching him do his little dance now. 

And it wastes clock. 

[tcp]

Tom! well, we've probably already guaranteed a better shot percentage than last game.

I think some of that is planned.  It may be ugly, but planned.  We want to control that clock...I think.

unless your plan is to only shoot at the end of a clock, I'd have to doubt that. 

 

It's an attempt to draw in a defense, but that requires you to be a credible scoring threat on that drive, which he hasn't been in awhile. 

We're burning around 10-12 seconds of passing clock just bluffing shots everyone knows we're not taking. 

 

Just an awareness issue. 

[tcp]

good to see Purdue get about 5 bloody chances to score. gawd. 

[atskooc]

Not a bad half so far!

[atskooc]

But the last few possessions haven’t been ideal. 

[demone]

I'd say about 5 straight gawd awful offensive possessions in a row right there.

[tcp]

we just can't stop sucking in the last few minutes of a half. just can't. 

 

 

[Huskerpapa]

In my opinion, we should have taken that time out about a minute earlier.  You could sort of see the wheels starting to wobble.  We can not let them separate at the end of the half.

[The Polish Rifle]

Toughness is there tonight. Offensive is ugly. Good to see these guys fighting for Miles, though without wins it won’t matter.

[Huskerpapa]

Glynn is still struggling
