This team keeps drawing me in for the inevitable heartbreak at the end. 

 

Arop had good minutes. Liked his defense

[Red Don]

Tied!!!!! @ 31

[The Polish Rifle]

Was that shot late? Looked late.

[HuskerFever]

They shoot better half court shots than we do 3 foot shots.

[The Polish Rifle]

Ugh garbage. We can't catch a break

Looked like he just got it off. Hard to tell

[jayschool]

It seems paranoid and silly to think Nebrasketball is cursed, but then shit like this happens.

[Silverbacked1]

He took 3 steps before he shot it.

 

He traveled!!!.    You bunch of dumb fucks!!!

[hal9000]

Welp, so far exactly to script.  Close first half, give up a late three right before half.  Second half....yep.  

[Red Don]

Uneffing believable UI hits a 3/4 floor 3 at the buzzer )

BTN guys can clearly tell, somehow. 

[khoock]

Looked good to me. Tough break

[HuskerBB]

I think he did get it off - but the missed traveling before he took the shot was ridiculous.

When is traveling ever called?

Listening to Bardo always motivates me to listen to someone else.

Lets just get all the bad luck out of our system this year, just purge it all, half courters every game until the season ends.

[Red Don]

We're Screwed!

Cheatham 2-8 from the field and I have him 1-6 on lay-ups.

[jayschool]

I'm sure others of you play this #nebrasketball game in your head as the first half comes to a close: What's the worst that could happen?

 

Tonight, with a minute left, we had the ball in a tie game.

 

I asked myself, "What's the worst that could happen?" 

 

I answered, "Well, we don't score, they drain a three, and we're down 34-31."

 

When Thor missed that runner, I said, "Well, the worst happened."

 

I was so wrong.

I'd give you more thumbs up for the proper use of dumb 'fuchs" if I could

[Handy Johnson]

Nebraska Basketball has taught me this sage wisdom: if you expect NOTHING, yer never disappointed...

[colhusker]

Is Frazier the Grant Gibbs of the Big 10?  He has been there forever.
