Indiana (18-6) vs. Nebraska (15-8) Game Thread

[Bugeaters1]

Thanks to all about the corn, I guess we have to start these game threads 4 or 5 days prior to the game. So here is the game thread for Sunday's game. Some people shouldn't step on other peoples toes.

I believe we come out and play well in this game and have a shot at the upset. 

[whoopdeedoo]

never say never---game of basketball can surprise. having said that, indiana has been playing pretty well again. even though close. grace berger has one of the best elbow shots i have seen in quite awhile. man, impressive. huskers might keep it close, but, i just think indiana will be too much for them. they gave maryland all they could handle, but, that pressure just wore on them. 

[All About the Corn]

Sorry if as a newbie I got ahead and wanted to talk about Iowa. I do not have BTN+ so last night it was listening to Matt and Jeff and watching with no sound the Indiana and Maryland game. Indiana played a great first half. Third quarter they did not shoot as well and Maryland made their run. Plus the pressure from Maryland started to get to them. I think we have a very small chance to beat Indiana. They do so many things well on the offensive end. In fact it would not surprise me to see a double digit loss on Sunday. Listening to Matt and Amy on the post game when Amy made the "brain fart" comment my first thought was are you talking about the players or you and your staff? It almost seems like she feels they have put the players in a position to win but they are not following the game plan or just not getting the shots to fall. It's going to be a rough finish.

No problem. Some people have just come to do things that we have done for a few years. Like red don posts the in game stats and final stats. If u would like to do the game threads, have it. And all ways like new input. So welcome to the board.

I'm a numbers guy....Shooting will have to improve drastically, or it won't be a fun game.  Shooting in the 35% range like we have at times recently,  is never a winning percentage.

 

Hope the pressure of the rough stretch isn't to far ingrained, and we will rise above it today. Think we can...will take extraordinary effort to rise above.

Indiana has improved a lot in the last few years. Defense is very good. They're young but talented. They have some size. 

 

Game is at home.....as usual it's worth 10 points. Come on crowd....noise !!

[Cazzie22]

Long windy drive to Lincoln.  Hope today’s performance makes it worthwhile.  I am not optimistic.

[HB]

Sometimes when it looks the darkest amazing things happen.   Let’s hope today is one of those times.

This is hard. Embarrassing. No one cares but Brown!!! I see a couple transfers happening after this season

I am very worried about this, too.

[huskerchode]

Why do we shoot so poorly on our home court?  

[Merlin]

Didn’t make it there today. Doesn’t sound like I’m missing much....

[Red Don]

Halftime Stats:   (The three Freshmen on the floor at the same time (Brady, Bourne & a Mackenzie Helms sighting) have cut the deficit to 18, from 25 during Q1  )

Helms, Brady, Bourne, Brown, Cain have all but 5 of the pts.

And my guess is you wont see Helms the rest of the game.

I’m surprised we saw her at all.  Maybe coach is getting a little frustrated?  

[hskr4life]

The more we play, the more I can only think of Petteway and Co’s Sr years.  This is really frustrating.

Stats at the end of 3 Qtrs of Play: (one of the few games where showing each quarters stats is meaningful! )

A Great Come-Back Try by the Husker Ladies .  (but the shame is allowing themselves to get behind by 25 pts at the beginning. )
