especially with 5 seconds on the clock and then passing it to Tanner with no time left. good god, thee guy and their clock awareness. 

 

Thats just a lack of killer mentality.  He also caught a pass in the corner early on a Palmer drive and was wide open.  Drove into nowhere and we had to take a bad shot late.

[hskr4life]

If Glynn can heat up a little bit, we have the ability to sneak in some wins.

[tcp]

glynn's play encouraging. looking like the last game wasn't a one off and he might be back. 

[hskr4life]

The more I see Thor’s game... the more I like.  Nothing special, but 100 percent plays a role we need.

[HuskerFever]

I've missed this scrappy defense!

According to the refs it must be OK to jump on Husker Players.

Palmer has made a couple of nice assists.  Thorir rebounds and moves on offense, too many stand and watch.

That is the most garbage play...jumping on a player is not a jump ball, it's a foul

clock clock clock clock clock

 

and a nice bail call. 

[hhcscott]

Did an Eades just make a call in Nebraska's favor? Am I in an alternate universe?

[HuskerFever]

That was one strange exchange of calls between the officials there. The one ref close to the call just blew it off and the other ref was probably like "Are you kidding me? How could you not call that?" and called the foul 4 seconds later.

[Cazzie22]

Tough to run offense without any post threats.

[tcp]

in the danger zone. let's hope we don't fall asleep. 

[Cazzie22]

NW is just as challenged on offense as we are.

We're actually not shooting horribly. We're just getting out-rebounded and not getting second change opportunities.

[Red Don]

Defense is good; Let's not give up any more points to the half.

[hhcscott]

Law better have a leg day if Glynn is bowling him over like that with that little contact

[hskr4life]

If we had a win for every time I have yelled “shoot the ball Roby” this half we’d have enough wins to make the dance 5 times.

[Cazzie22]

Gee, if we had an offense we could be up by a dozen.

And again.

"For the first time in seven games, Nebraska takes a lead into the locker room."

 

I never thought I would hear those words this season.

Offense is fine this game.  Our offense has gotten Roby at least 5 open looks that he has passed up.  That’s on Roby and not the offense.

If he is hesitant on the arc, post up or have a guard drive and let Roby dive as a trail/backdoor cut, stop parking 25 feet away

Does he not want to score? Pump fake to a worse opportunity than he had.  Too timid inside.
