Nebraska (7-11) (2-5) vs. Wisconsin (11-7) (4-3) Game Thread

[NWUhusker]

Green seems like he’s so close sometimes to having that light turn on. I know a lot of ppl wanted to give up on him, but he’s so talented. I hope he figures out his role and how to play under control. He would be a great scorer off the bench now and next year.

It's 20 minutes of scrapping and effort like that which reminds me why the losses this year are meaningless.  Who knows what the next twenty minutes holds but you can clearly see the process and the buy in from the guys on a 7-11 team.  Even Jervay Green with a reduced role.  Be patient everyone!

Good half.  I like the game plan on both ends and the effort is definitely there tonight.  
 

Bad matchups for Thor, Haanif, and Yvan.   Good matchups for Cam, Burke, and Cross.  Both sides have done a good job exploiting the others’ weaknesses.  I actually thought we outplayed them and had some tough luck on tipped passes that ended up being threes.  There were like 9 points UW scored that way.  Maybe the yin will yang in the 2nd.

I can’t stand Wisconsin 

[colhusker]

Not defending the 3 is not a good scheme.  Right up there with missing layups

[colhusker]

Another flop called a charge

[atskooc]

Yikes!

 

That was fast.

[Dead Dog Alley]

No, we aren't very good, but the officiating in this conference is shameful.

[brfrad]

Flop U at it again!!

[Nebrasketball1979]

The good news is that our 2nd half recipe is usually get down big and mount a furious comeback.. so this is familiar territory

[Faux Mike Peltz]

We need Cheatham to be better. He was sub par vs. Indiana and seems in a funk tonight so far...

[colhusker]

How did Thor get so damn lost on that

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Thorir has a better basketball IQ than what he showed on that brain fart..

[Handy Johnson]

I went to the John & now we’re down 12... What the???

Thinking of Icelandic women...were you asking about Thor or me?

[jason2486]

I hate Wisconsin.  Becoming Creighton level of hate.

[atskooc]

This feels like it could get ugly real quick.

[colhusker]

Drago is killing us tonight

[Handy Johnson]

A 20-4 start for the Badgers will do that...

[Red Don]

For that Mack should get an N 2!!!!

[colhusker]

Doc's scheme to crash down is killing us

[colhusker]

Potter clears out with his shoulder every time he touches it.

[colhusker]

Sad thing is we are shooting 16 of 29 inside the arc and yet game isn't close.  3 pt points are 39-12 them.

[jason2486]

They camp in the lane, we get called for charges and travelling in the lane. F these refs. 

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Yvan is 17..... Yvan is 17..... Yvan is 17.....

I have to keep telling myself this....
