Wisconsin (14-6) (8-5) vs. Nebraska (4-10) (0-7) Game Thread

[HuskerFever]

So I've said this before, but I'll say it again because this game seems to fit the bill.

 

Wins, losses, I don't care this season. Never did at the very start of the season and don't now. The only thing I've wanted to see all season was progress; a way for us to bridge the gap between a fresh 4-5 starters building some camaraderie, starting to make some shots, and building into the next season where we we'll get an inflection of talent on the team.

 

I've only seen it in one or two other games, but there's parts of this game that give me a glimmer of hope. If we can start to get some ball movement, solid shot selection, and make some baskets, then that will set us up for next season.

 

I just want to have expectations about our team again.

The most frustrating thing?  We've had 3-4 B1G games where it was right there for the taking and we can't do it.... this is another.

 

We truly are one of those teams right now where you don't even have to bring your A or B game and you can still beat us.

GOOD GOD!!

Shon Morris can choke on a bag of phallic objects, for all his papering over bad officiating.

Yuv might not be the most graceful with the ball in his hands, but damn does that guy bring the battle down low every night.

 

Also, that was a terrible call on him from the BASELINE referee who was ball watching instead of watching his zone.

[Bugeaters1]

Man we even look at the dudes we get called for foul.

[tcp]

getting blown out by opponents shooting under 30 percent from the field is really distressing. we're getting teams' D game and still getting crushed. 

 

We might need another word stronger than "rebuild" for this. 

[huskerbaseball13]

We have scored 13 points in the last 20 minutes. Let that sink in

This.  We are currently "that" team in the B1G that you don't even have to bring it and you can still beat us.  We used to at least be a tough out each night.

"Sink" being the operative word here.

Oh, btw, Larry Flint died today.  You know, on a completely unrelated topic.

Shamiel is a one-trick pony. No subtlety and a bit of a black hole.

I get so angry when we have so many empty possessions where we either turn the ball over or jack up a circus shot.  Why do we continue to do this? Play guys who take care of the ball and understand what a good shot should look like.

I’ll say it again.  
 

Start a hockey program. 

[hskr4life]

Disappointing moment for me.  McGowens just turns it over after falling down.  Thor played almost perfect D in a 2 on 1 situation making Davidson pass it off and then making the guy who caught Davidson's pass have to pivot before taking a shot.  Yet-- our only guy to hustle back and help Thor was Kobe.  Wisco still ended up with a "3 on 2" for the score.

Feels like we will need to score at least 50 to win this game

I know this is partly a joke, but PBA would be an awesome arena for hockey.  Not gunna lie.

[Dead Dog Alley]

Davison leg sweeps McGowens and knocks him to the ground, no foul called, turnover.  Next possession Stevenson gets grabbed, hacked, and bodied, fouled by three different people, no call.  The refs are doing what they're paid to do, which is to make sure that Wisconsin wins.

 

What a fuck job.

[hskr4life]

Lol-- Flop Davidson got called for a block.  

[HuskerFever]

Waaaaaaait. Davison didn't get his charge call?

Why can’t we shoot?

[NUtball]

When a player as limited as No. 12 scores 8 points, you know your goose is cooked.
