Nebraska (15-11) vs. Penn State (9-16) Game Thread

[hskr4life]

So Alen gets an open look from three and bricks the hell out of it.

Harris has been pretty good tonight.

 

Our seniors have been terrible

[Red Don]

"Husker Sports Network is experiencing technical difficulties"  Sort of like the Team right now!

One player played worth a sh** in the first half.  Amir...everyone else might as well have stayed home.

[atskooc]

We really aren’t any good right now. 

[royalfan]

When you cannot shoot it saps the life out of you.  Staff doesn't recruit enough of it or develop enough of it.  We need a new staff.  There is no upside in making the tourney this year anyway.  

[HuskerFever]

It could be worse. At least we're not playing for anythi.........oh, wait. 

[Huskerone]

Don't pass that Watson for an easy layup.  No, go up against a double team to miss.  Perfect end to the half.

[royalfan]

12 for 30 0-6 from deep 1-4 from line.  Holy smokes.  

[nustudent]

At least we are going to make the decision easy. 

[HoiBall]

Not trying to pile on, but did anyone actually think that the last two games changed anything about how this team was playing?

[hskr4life]

Well... at least its an f-ing quad 1 loss.

[tcp]

ah, reality my old friend. It sucks to see you again. I just wish these last 4 games were going to be stretched out so far so we could get this over with.

Not his fault someone thought he belongs on a Big Ten roster either I guess.

He’s only a freshmen man who played class B Nebraska basketball last year. And he’s not getting to practice against any post player in practice. Take a chill pill

Some more 'technical difficulties.' Here are the Half Time Stats:

Good point, I was thinking the last two wins didn't move the needle much.

100%. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Miles changed the offensive approach to slow the game and limit possessions in order to get back to a 1:1 points-to-possession efficiency. Which is why we have been seeing 60 point games and not 80 point games.

 

That is far from what is happening today.

it's fine to pile on. the Minnesota game was the odd man out because we made shots. NW would've been a loss to literally any other team in the league. 

 

NW convinced me that this team was doomed. An odd reaction to a win. But it was mine.

Will never get better with Tim here. Even the supposed shooters he recruits (Allen) regress here because he doesn't allow them to play unless they solely concentrate on defense, and passing to whoever the chosen slasher is in a given year. Tim desperately wants to say he has a player in the NBA, and it shows in everything he does with this program.

[Huskerone]

I wish this season was over.  I've been embarrassed as a Husker fan of multiple sports too many times in the last 15 years.  Never really get used to it.

This take.... is... a little off.  Not saying that our shooters are sucking it up, but blaming it on players having to play D or pass to a single guy is a terrible take.  Literally every team has to play D.  We seem to be the only one to shoot terrible.  Literally every guy is missing shots.  Palmer has taken a ton less shots the past few weeks.  Still not winning too many games.

Palmer hasn't taken less shots.   He's made less shots

After 7 years of mediocre to bad shooting it’s a coaching issue. 

 

This is why IMO bringing up future recruits in the fold is irrelevant when discussing Miles.

Honestly, yes.  I did expect the team to show up and play like a team that must win to make it to the tournament.  Instead, they once again cannot find the inside of a hoop, they are not playing defense with the type of intensity that is required, they are reaching and fouling instead of moving their feet and quite literally played one of their worse halves of basketball this year.
