Nebraska (7-17)(3-14) vs. Iowa (18-7)(12-6) Game Thread A day ahead of time ;-)

[basketballjones]

At least we’re not gonna get disappointed right at the end on this one.

[hskr4life]

So, Iowa is 50-60 points better than Rutgers is what I am seeing.

Where does the B1G find these DRAGO'S ?

Losing this game to the three-point line right now.

I love our “they’ve got a good big” plan that seems to permeate throughout coaches at Nebraska. Not only do we end up not stopping said big, we give up a shit load of 3’s. It’s truly a thing of beauty. Take away nothing, give up everything. 

[HuskerFever]

I could care less about the score right now. The fact that we're turning the ball over like this and making so many mental mistakes is just embarrassing.

[hskr4life]

This is embarrassing.  What happened to the fire!?!?

[Cazzie22]

Might want to guard Bohannon.  Just a thought.

[hskr4life]

Have some dang pride.

[brfrad]

Garza and Bohannon 

 

12 - 19 from the floor

8 - 13 from 3

5 - 6 from the line

 

Rest of Iowa

 

11 - 29

4 - 18

3 - 6 from the line

 

Safe to say Garza and Bohannon are the difference.

Completely unforced errors, also. Not like Kawhi Leonard is out there.

How is it possible to follow up what was arguably the best overall performance of Hoiberg’s tenure with a complete failure in every aspect of the game the next time out? I’ll never understand it.

[hskr4life]

I'm good with letting the bench play the rest of this one and saving our legs for our 5 wins in 5 days coming up.

[HuskerFever]

We've reached "throw up a three no matter what" territory.

Teams that aren’t very good are generally not consistently good.

 

As the old adage goes, the sun shines on a dog’s ass...something something. 
 

It’s pretty simple to comprehend.

This is Jess Settles in 4k ugly

It could be worse.  We could be a bubble team losing by 30 to a 2 win conference team.

Would not be surprised if Banton is not on the team next year. Several times on that last stretch when he hoisted those three’s, Hoiberg’s reaction was less than favorable. We have gotten better length wise, getting better athleticism, getting some more height. But my God! Let’s get some guys who have some basketball IQ. Give me a bunch of these Iowa players who can pass and shoot....

[HuskerFever]

Nice pass to Iowa. What was that??

[hhcmatt]

This would have been a 'Teddy take 30 shots' game 2 weeks ago.

Or even worse... you could be a bubble team that was down by 30 to a 2 win conference team who is now down by about 40.......

[brfrad]

The refs must have a date tonight.  Letting a lot of contact.   As soon as I say that 2 quick whistles.

It’s a sorry state of affairs if a kid decides to transfer just because they get their butt chewed a little.  Learn from it and realize it’s not personal.

I won’t argue - but to be so good one night and so miserably bad the very next time out? That level of extreme is not understandable to me.

We. Need. A. Point Guard. Give me frickin’ Joe Holmes at this point.
