royalfan Posted February 10, 2019 Report Posted February 10, 2019 what really sucks is that if Copeland were healthy and we were going through this, I would still have hope we can get going. As is, we cannot. It is a horrible job of building depth, and developing young players. I don't think it matters if we were to fire Miles in season. We just are not good. Don't recruit enough shooting, and can't coach them on improving shooting. It is sad. Lot of good people in this fan base. They deserve some success. I hope like hell we spend the necessary money to get the right guy. I would pay a large sum of money to be able to help select it. If only that were possible. Quote
Handy Johnson Posted February 10, 2019 Report Posted February 10, 2019 If we can just edge Colorado for the #7 seed maybe, just maybe we can “get hot” and win the Big 8 Tournament... (sorry I was having a flashback) Quote

jimmykc Posted February 10, 2019 Report Posted February 10, 2019 Seemed like almost every shot we took in the second half was taken with less than 10 seconds left in the shot clock. Quote
jason2486 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Posted February 10, 2019 Where was Nana the 2nd half. He shot with confidence, brought great energy, and had 5 rebounds in the 1st. I don't get why he saw 0 2nd half minutes. Quote

Nana scores 5 and grabs 5 boards in just 8 minutes (first half) and doesn't see the floor in the second half. Allen ties his career-high with 18 in just 26 minutes. Watson scores 4 in 34 minutes. I understand we have zero depth, however I don't understand how Nana doesn't see the floor in the second half. jason2486 and TheNovice 2 Quote

hhcdave Posted February 10, 2019 Report Posted February 10, 2019 I do think we would have split Wisconsin and Maryland with Copeland. And would likely win 3-4 more instead of the 2 I predict us to win. But at the end of the day Cope might have meant a possibility of being on the bubble/NIT versus where we are. Both scenarios really aren’t acceptable for year seven of a program. Quote

One thing the Cope injury has allowed for is the emergence of Thor as a play-maker & Tom Allen fitting into that 6th man role nicely. And, maybe the expansion of Roby's leadership role. I still think this team has some positive results in them. Only way to know for sure is to watch the final 7 games. Wait & see what happens after the 2018-19 season concludes. GBR !!! Quote

How good was the first half of our year? How far have we truly fallen so far? -- We are currently on a 7 game losing streak and could still reach the 20 win mark in the regular season. -- We could lose out on a 14 game losing streak and still beat or tie our season wins for 2016-2017, 2014-2015, 2011-2012, BmoreRed 1 Quote

Then something flipped. Nebraska had an arguably Top 15 nonconference season. Then something flipped. indeed, momentum is a powerful force in College Hoops. But clearly purdue (and michigan, MSU...) are deep down, elite, well managed and put together teams. The boilermakers have a clear identity and gameplan. It's certainly strange how Nebraska had an ideal scheduling plan for non con, but in the end it didn't matter, because evidently it was fools gold? and we always have to take into account that these games can swing quickly, and hence the season; a loss can put your team into a 5-10 game funk, and this phenomenon hit nebraska particularly hard this time around. welp. IDK how to explain this season. (pretty normal in cbb for me) What I'd really like to see is stats and graphs on this incredible turnaround in fortunes in the negative direction...EXTREME negative direction... Quote
hhcmatt Posted February 10, 2019 Report Posted February 10, 2019 Our adjusted offense for this game was the best since Michigan St broke us. http://www.barttorvik.com/team.php?team=Nebraska We lost like we did because it was a poor defensive showing in the 2nd half compounded by them running up the score at the FT line at the end.
