I'm thinking Rutgers 2015-2016 team would beat these Huskers by 30. 

Thank dog for Rutgers, at least we have someone to denigrate

I change to the MSU Kentucky game to get away from this game. Hoiberg's kid gets in, Vitale "Fred's son, he's at Nebraska now, Nebraska getting pounded by Cal St Riverside" -  I can't escape.

I did the exact same thing lol. It was basically Dick saying “Nebraska....yikes” then going right back into his color commentary.

The announcers on TV said that someone was 1 rebound shy of what Bruno Fernando did in PBA last year.  We let some Riverside guy Fernando is.  Let that sink in.

We dropped our annual cupcake loss in November. Let that sink in.

[ZAYWHAT!]

Is there any possibility of having an offense this year?    UC riverside shot lights out from behind the 3 point line tonight.  Not every team is going to shoot like they did.   But there has to be someone that can score for us if we have any chance to win this year.

We got beat worse on the rebounds than actual game score and still lost by 19 in the game score.

The 2nd half was some of the most dispirited (If that’s even a word) basketball that I have seen.  There’s rough, then there’s no heart unacceptable.  We toed the line tonight.

 

I think the word you’re looking for is “uninspired”, but that performance might have needed a completely new word to fully describe it so I agree.

anyone else think samari curtis would play more? he was mr basketball of ohio.

 

here's some other notable mr basketballs in ohio: zavier simpson, luke kennard, trey burke, jared sullinger, oj mayo, oh and that lebron james guy.

 I wanna say something but that kinda sucked it out of me. Flush that turd.

I was thinking the same.  In a game where you needed a bucket, no one else was making one, and no one else was playing defense, why not put someone in that could shoot it.

Nice thing is that we threw up enough bricks to probably build Rome so the rest of the season is looking up!

Hoiberg just said we got a “heck of a team” coming in Saturday.  God we can’t start 0-2 right?

Only W I have right now is Southern. Not Southern Utah or South Dakota State. Southern. And that's it.

Tim Miles had a 6-game losing streak in 6 of his 7 seasons at Nebraska. Might as well just knock that out early in the season.

100% sure I'll wake up tomorrow and spend 2 minutes trying to decipher if this was a dream or not.

Save this post for some year in late March... one day.

From time to time I check out a few other message boards for the other sports teams I follow, and I’ve always felt the regular posters on this board were by far and away the most thoughtful, reasonable, and patient. Refreshing to say the least. Always can count on coming here for good, respectful discussion and usually learn something from many  posters on here who clearly have a higher basketball IQ than I. But tonight, I gotta say, I’m a bit disappointed with the lack of perspective. Can’t believe it’s too common to have a new coach, staff, and damn near all new players in a new system all in one year.  Add to that an opposing team that couldn’t miss from deep behind the arc.  Let’s at least wait until January before we start spreading the doom and gloom.

God Dickie V mentioned it again, LEAVE US ALONE!

[jayschool]

UC-Riverside beat Life Pacific by 28.

Southern Utah beat Life Pacific by 43.

 

Dang.

 

 

[hskr4life]

The loss was so bad that my ESPN app didn’t even put it in there.  Also... we claimed our spot at the bottom of the standings earlier than I thought we would.

[Nighthawk]

Too bad we didn’t have a black cat run across the floor. 

[Cookie Crumbs]

I understand that this team is new and we all want to give them some slack, but the effort in the second half was unacceptable. No matter the game.

Game threads are here for that reason. Feel like it's a place we can be silly and unreasonable. Heads are on straight, for the most part, everywhere else on this board.
