While we are not a good team right now, there has to be a game where we come relatively close sometime soon.  Tonight could be the night, and 17 is hard to beat any team by.  That's why I was surprised that NO ONE took the skers and the points.  17!

I am thinking that no one took Nebraska to win outright.  That's what I took the moneyline to be.  You would win nothing by taking Maryland to win straight up.

I didn't think you could jump sideways into someone and get a foul called.

Still amazes me that you can see a better FT shooting percentage in the 11-12 year old division at the local Elks free throw shooting contest than when we go to the line as college athletes.

In some regards Kavas is a prototypical Creighton player

A poor man’s Kevin McKennan...

Why are 90% of BTN announcers douchebags? It'd be amazing if they ever had our back on any questionable calls instead if always having our opponents'.

Wow Yvan bumped Marial 5 feet and he still blocked the shot

[hskr4life]

Yuv finally goes hard to the hoop and gets called for a foul.  Figures.

@49r drink for Hummel dropping the phrase "perfect for their system"

[Huskerpapa]

Oh gawd...here it comes

[Handy Johnson]

It’s getting a “Men’s P.E.” level of sloppy out there...

[hskr4life]

Cross is... er.... struggling.

[Huskerpapa]

This may be as a bad a game for an individual player (Cross) as I have seen.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Kevin Cross.....sheesh. And Sheesh.

[brfrad]

These refs are so inconsistent.   One end they call a touch foul, the next trip "no blood, no foul"

Swear i have seen about 5 of these same types of games. He is very hot and cold. Hopefully consistency will come as he grows and develops.

[Cazzie22]

Cowan making us look...foolish.

[hskr4life]

Cowen is 9-10 at the line.  Have we made 9 free throws in a game this year?

I will give credit.  He is fearless and has a shooters mentality.   When he is on, it is fun.  But man, on nights like this..yikes.

My 8th grade son plays select basketball at the silver level, which means there are a few levels even higher. 
last tournament, an opposing team went 16-17 from the FT line. Multiple players went to the line.

I know it’s a different level, but it’s still the same distance to the rim.

I dunno between Mack being rattled by the air ball chants and looking like an inflatable when he tries to double in the post it seems like a toss up

[Red Don]

Halftime Stats:
Huskers come out Stone-cold (again) and dig themselves a B1G

What say we come out Red Hot & Start a Run in the 2nd !

They are perfectly consistent.

Agreed.  This is two or more games in a row where Cam has lost his game.

Nebraska where 3 pt shots go to die
