I predict a lo-scoring game. 

 

EDIT: it's looking like at least for us!

Already a double digit deficit...

[hskr4life]

Not great.  I'll reserve what I am really thinking until this thing is final.  We can still come back... I think.

I’ve sat thru every game on tv this entire season. Watched every single minute of our blowouts. But I may be out on this one if we continue to just throw the ball away...

I've said it before, I say again, value the possession, make free throws, make layups and this game becomes a lot simpler.

 

Just have to look at Northwestern as an example. Not playing inspiring hoops right now, but 3 turnovers and shooting 48%. Can't make the outside shot, but taking advantage of the paint (as @hhcmatt pointed out to be the key in this game).

Effort until Iowa had not been a question. Appears to me that Rutgers was the season finale for this team. They are just going through the motions now.

...or these games don't matter and they're saving it for the Big Ten Tournament?

 

 

(Probably not )

I’d say this game looks like Wynot vs. St. Frances, but that’d be offensive to them...

 

 

At least those were FUN to watch!

[hhcscott]

Illegal screen is still being called? Might be the first one I have seen this year. 

[hskr4life]

Great Lakes!!  There's a Chicago joke in there somewhere.

[Red Don]

We Need some JUICE!

Thanks TREVOR!!!

Same old sloppy play.  I don’t see much light at the end of the tunnel except that the season will probably end soon.  

 

IMO Thor is one of the few playing ball today.

Wait, is it legal for Lakes to take a 2 point shot?

[hskr4life]

Lakes quietly having a nice game.  Athletically, he fits in against this NW team.  We should not be down 13.

His restraining order mandates he can only venture outside of the arc.

5 tops. Probably should be a +/- 5 lead/deficit right now.

[hskr4life]

We're the team with a 10-0 FT advantage and we're still down nearly 10.

[hhcscott]

McGowen finally executed that draw foul maneuver in a way that didn't seem contrived...but misses the FT

[hskr4life]

Thor padding his stats at the end there!  NICE!

[hhcscott]

I'm not a college coach, so grain of salt, but I think our inability to score might be a bit of a problem.

No offense, but I take my advice from middle school girls basketball coaches.

Halftime Stats:     (But got it back to within single-digits after being down 16 pts.  )

 

[HuskerFever]

Why is it when we're in a game like this and up 8 I'm thinking "we gotta keep pushing, we can't throw this one away", yet we're down 8+ in a game like this and I'm like "we're really not all that out of it, just get some fundamentals right and we'll get back in this."?

[hhcscott]

Halftime report - Revsine mentioned that we are the only team in the B1G with a negative assist to turnover ratio.
