Nebraska (4-9) (0-6) vs. Minnesota (11-7) (4-7) Game Thread

[Huskerpapa]

We make a lot of teams and players look better than what they are.

We've been tough on Stevenson... rightfully so... but he has played well tonight and earned every minute he gets tonight I think.  At least, so far.

[hhcscott]

Just pass the ball to Kobe on the break and get it back when the one defenser shifts. Shamiel is playing hard but not getting results.

I would say that Stevenson has used the missed time to really upgrade his game.  he is doing now what most of us thought he was going to do from the start.

 

Also his raise has come as Teddy has fallen some... interesting.

His effort and intensity has been very good the last game and thus far this game.  I really question his basketball IQ though.  So many bad shots and boneheaded plays.

“Nebraska looks like a team that hasn’t played in a month....

don’t forget they also used to look like a team who hadn’t played for a month.”

[hhcscott]

I've heard Hoiberg's system described as an example of position-less basketball, but it feels like basket-less basketball this year.

You would think these guys would get angry about losing and step up their effort and play.  Of course it would be nice if someone could put the ball in the basket.

Minnesota on pace to score 120 points.  Since we have 4 games, this week, might as well get the main guys a rest.

Lee Corso used to say "Mmm Mmm Ugly" and I think that fits here right now.

Yeesh!

 

KenPom's #293 in eFG%!

Why do I watch? Why do I care so much?

[hskr4life]

Carr has done that 3 times tonight alone.  He should have more than 3 fouls.

He did it 3 times alone to Thor on ONE play, and Thor got called for the foul.

I am watching futility.  It has to get better sometime. 

[huskerbaseball13]

Why even run pick and rolls with Drago at this point?

It's times like these you hope the financial disclaimer  "past performance may not be indicative of future results" is true

This one is gonna be a tough one to watch.  

[Silverbacked1]

If we could shoot the ball better we would win more because this team does play hard...

Actually it's worse than you think. That's our number. They're #284 lol

[hhcscott]

Offensive foul on the inbounds?

[Cazzie22]

It appears that the Gophers push off quite often with their off hand.

[skerbball]

Shamiel playing well tonight
