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

Silver lining from that half: we now know Harris can straight up play D.  He'd shown flashes earlier in the season, but he was all over the place on the defensive end when on the court.

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.

The Seniors on this team downright refuse to pass it to Borchardt, even when he is wide open. Tanner has better hands than Roby, Watson, and Palmer when it comes to simply catching the ball. Its maddening to see passes hit our guys in the hands, then they have to adjust. By that time they are being guarded close. Makes playing defense against us very easy. Heaven forbid they throw it to the guy who can actually catch it most of the time

...and the two times he took it to the rim, he actually scored.  Can anyone else on the team say that tonight?

How does Palmer miss that.  OMG.

A 10-0 run will cut this bad boy in half!

Don't tell anyone, but he's not a very good shooter.

ON EDIT: He's a great shooter. He's not a very good maker.

Good: We make our first 4-5 shots after half.

 

Bad: We're still down 17.

penn st's 3 pt% is better than our fg%. that's a pretty sad stat.

[Cowboy Kermit]

How nice of Penn State to have a player on their roster who's name describes a fraction of their opponents' fanbase. Might not be the exact spelling but I will say I've chuckled everytime I've heard the name Myles Dread tonight.

For some reason, this seems to be by design by Miles. Or at least it appears that way.

 

But now it's even harder to pass the ball to him when he's sitting on the bench with 4 fouls with 18 minutes to go. Ouch.

Ever since the abysmal performances against Wisconsin and Maryland this is starting to feel more and more like the end of the Mike Riley era

It's all about volume right?

We're shooting 42.4 percent overall. For us on the road, that's sizzling.

[Huskerpapa]

How was that off of us.  

[HuskerFever]

First one to 60 wins, right?

[Huskerpapa]

Okay...wow.  This sucks.

I hope not... one of these teams isn't going to hit 60.

[HuskerFever]

YOU HAVE FOUR GUYS UNDER THE BASKET TO THEIR ONE AND YOU CAN'T GET THE REBOUND???

[jayschool]

I think Petteway needs to get the ball to Shields or Webster more and shoot less.

 

Wait. Damn. I was having a flashback to 2015.

My ten-year-old daughter, who knows nothing about basketball, just looked at the score and said, “This is bad. This is very bad.”

Please spare us the football analogies on the basketball board...
