Nebraska (7-8) (2-2) vs. Northwestern (5-9) (0-4) Game Thread

[colhusker]

Right on cue open half with a wide open look for 3

I'll be following the 2nd half from this board and Twitter. An NFL playoff game gets my attention because, as EF Hutton would say, "they've earned it."

 

My goodness, I am getting old  How many on this board are "mature" enough to remember that terrible TV commercial? 

[HuskerFever]

As miserable as this is, we still have a shot to get back in this one.

[colhusker]

Burke really is a in a funk of late.  He is the stereotypical Tim Miles recruit

 

[Bugeaters1]

 

[atskooc]

Doing some nice things so far this half.

 

[hhcmatt]

Clawing our way back thanks to Northwestern's offense turning the ball over like crazy

[Cazzie22]

We have to get stops because we are very inefficient on offense.

Robin to the Rescue!

Old enough (50 today in fact) to remember it was Smith-Barney. John Houseman was the actor in the commercial "Smith Barney makes money the old-fashioned way...they eaaaaaarn it."

EF Hutton's commercial was, everyone would go silent in a crowded room "When EF Hutton talks people listen."

Cheatham STRUGGLING today

[colhusker]

UGH great defense then a dumb foul

He is NOT alone

[hhcscott]

"Cross wide open for three" is the Nebrasketball equivalent of buying a powerball ticket, you hope, but it rarely pays out.

[thrasher31]

One thing I'll give Cross credit for, he knows how to use his body around the basket and plays bigger than he actually is. Once he puts on more muscle he'll be much better around the basket

[hhcmatt]

NW has scored 9 points this half. They very much want to let us back in this

Dammit you are right! I stand corrected!

I love Cross as a player,  potential Husker version of Draymond Green but not Husker Steph Curry.

[colhusker]

Easley made that way to easy

I just wish my brain was filled with more useful information than that.

Fred - give Green a chance, Burke couldn't throw it in the ocean today.
