Georiga Tech (1-2) vs. Nebraska (3-1) Game Thread

[brfrad]

This is going to be a long year.  We have no half court offense.  Big Ten teams are going to get back on defense, and we are going to struggle mightly.

[atskooc]

This one's over.

[HuskerFever]

This late run for Georgia Tech might be the end for us. Need to respond. Quick.

Game Over.  Maybe 1-2 more wins on the radar this year.

[millerhusker]

We have the body language of a team that has already given up. 

We don't deserve to win this game. And if we don't clean up a lot of the little things, there won't be too many wins left on the schedule.

Game over. Likely going to get smoked by Creighton on Friday too. 

[hskr4life]

The one thing that could have kept us in it (Defense) we have abandoned the past few minutes.

[huskerbaseball13]

Another game we really had no business losing. We need a big guy in the worst way. Also, Stevenson should be taking as many minutes as possible away from Thor. 

[Red Don]

I'm not so sure,  I think without Thor we are down even more.

[huskerbill85]

I think I might have overrated this team a bit .500 will be a hell of an accomplishment in this conference 

[Cazzie22]

Creighton will play uptempo so that will help us.  Ga Tech just made plays down the stretch.  This loss isn’t a disaster.

.500 in the BIg 10 this year would indeed be a hell of an accomplishment.   That would be a tournament team almost certainly.   Unfortunately I don't see us anywhere close to that.   No way Georgia Tech would be in the top half of the Big 10 and they just beat us by double digits at home.

I disagree, Stevenson disappeared after he had a poor dribbling turnover, Thor was our second best player tonight.

It’s not a disaster because win or loss we were going to get destroyed in the Big Ten. Big Ten is easily the best league this year and we are still a big man and a few shooters away from contending.

After seeing this team play a few games this season, I will be very surprised if Nebraska wins more than 5 conference games this season.

Disappointing. No other way to put it. We look like we have no idea what to do in the half court. 

[colhusker]

Just a bad last 14 minutes. Bad defense and horrible half course offense.

Thor had 7 rebounds and 5 assists. He does a lot of things that other guys on this roster clearly aren't used to doing. Simple things like setting good screens and blocking out. When a shot goes up, watch Thor. He throws his body into someone. Then watch Teddy. He's only getting a rebound if it bounces to him.

.250 would be a major accomplishment for this roster in this conference against that schedule.

Final Stats:

 

[hskr4life]

Fred needs to find an answer on offense.  For as highly touted on the offensive end as he was, our half court was trash tonight.  I don’t want to hear “we just need shooters” or “need to knock some down” that’s obvious and was the same flaw we had in the miles era.  If we don’t have Webster go like 5-6 from deep, we shoot well under 30% on threes.

Coming in to this game Allen averaged double the amount of rebounds per game so that doesn’t add.

 

Thor played better in the second half...atleast defensively. But, if he’s not producing on the offensive end I’d rather see Stevenson out there.

I mean he cant make his guys hit open shots. We had alot of good looks. We have all season its just a poor shooting team.
