Tennessee State (1-3) vs. Nebraska (3-2) Game Thread

[brfrad]

This team has allowed 83 free throw attempts in their last 2 games against D-1 teams.  We have 6.  These refs must have reservations somewhere, letting a lot of contact go.

[tcp]

well, i guess this is the rec ball offense? 

 

maybe this game's passed me by now, but i'm not seeing anything really coherent out there.

This team sucks yikes

[brfrad]

This team is not going to win a game in conference.  We are something awful.

[Bugeaters1]

27 of 38 TSU pts are trey's.

[MichHusker]

Outside of their win vs Fisk, this is tied for the most first half points for them this season

[GoBigRed]

Some of the most pathetic defense we’ve seen yet. Apparently our philosophy remains the same: run around like chickens with their heads cut off until the other team has an open look at a 3.

[Bugeaters1]

Make that 30 of 41 pts.

[Cazzie22]

Wish we could hit open threes!

Nebraska doesn’t play hard but they make up for it by playing stupid 

[tcp]

usually when we have a weak team, you kinda know where you have to start on the Big List of correctives. This team just befuddles me--I start identifying one thing, and then, like a dog chasing a squirrel, I see something else pop up. Then another. Then another. 

 

It's like 'whack-a-mole' of what's wrong. 

 

Maybe I just don't like teams like this, regardless of how good the outcome could be. I was a Pistons-Bulls fan back in the Golden Age, where D mattered 

[huskerbaseball13]

Defense is clearly optional. 
 

That would maybe be okay if we weren’t such a bad offensive team. 
 

The boys and coaches better enjoy the second half…they ain’t winning many more games this year. 

[demone]

Well…that 1st 5 minutes sure seems like the aberration. What an awful display of defense for the last 15 minutes.

[GoBigRed]

Fitting end to the half. 3 guys collapse in the lane on a driver and leave a guy open in the corner and I mean there was not a Husker jersey within 15 feet of him. 

[Red Don]

Trail by 3 at the half.  We could be in trouble; letting 'em hang around here.

The sad part is it's their best 3 point shooter.  Under no circumstance should that guy be left open.

[huskerbaseball13]

What’s concerning is that wasn’t a fluke. Okay the ball that went 3 feet in the air and swished was a fluke. 
 

But, almost all of the other 3’s were wide open. Like they had 2 seconds to stand there before any Husker was in the vicinity. Like what the F was that on the defensive end

[Faux Mike Peltz]

It drives me nuts that Fred just leans against the scorers table with his arms folded. No timeouts to adjust their defense or ask any of them if they have a pulse tonight….

[Omahusker]

I can’t wrap my head around how bad our defense is leaving open 3 pt shooters. 

[brfrad]

I'm waiting for the shooting to come around.  I have a feeling it's not happening.

[Cazzie22]

We are showing a lack of respect for our opponent, something this group cannot afford to do.

We are showing respect.  We just suck.

God I miss Tim Miles.

Just Pathetic
