We better get better rebounding.   That last play was an awful effort.  We stood around looking at the ball while 2 Western Illinois guys went for the ball.

 

 

We're getting out rebounded 28-16....goodness

Colorado must be really bad.

I was thinking the same thing. Right or wrong, my expectation coming in was based largely on what I saw during the Colorado game. This isn't even close to the same team.

Webster and Mayen might be helpful to have on a night like this.

So far we’ve seen ASU Verge. I’m hoping for first two games Verge

I'm getting to celebrate everytime we get a rebound in conference play.

Well there better be some ass chewing at halftime. That was pitiful. 

[HuskerFever]

We're a 2nd half team...

[Faux Mike Peltz]

It’s walkers birthday.today. Must be excused from rebounding. Giving 0 effort on the glass. Actually just watched him not jump three times and watch the opposing team shoot tip backs.

Welp - lots to say about that 1st half and none of it is good. Time to keep my mouth shut.

[Cazzie22]

My Kingdom for a Defensive rebound!

Verge crashes the boards on every possession. Can't say the same for anyone else.

This should be a clip board over the knee moment in the locker room.

Terrible energy. Terrible ball movement.

[brfrad]

They have 16 second chance points on 12 offensive rebounds.  The only reason it isn't 24 is because when they get an offensive rebound, they miss the shot, and get that rebound.

Shooting 22 % from 3 will make it look that way.

That and the poor shot selection/no assists, non-existing rebounding, and failure to keep the man you’re guarding in front.

Wow, brutal effort on the boards.  That was like elementary school basketball with five kids just looking at the ball and no one making an effort to put a body on a defender.  Absolutely lazy fundamentals.

 

Good news is that this is just one half of basketball in a long season and I am thinking we  won't see much worse than this.  Keep the faith...a better team will show up in the 2nd half.

[REDitus]

My gosh did we look bad.   Selfish on offense and no blocking out on D.    I think we ran the offense 1 time?

8 - 9 from the line.  That's good news.

I did forget to mention we missed about 9 lay-ups, also.
