I worry we wasted another opportunity to put foot on throat.

seem to be too easy to knock off our plan. have a good approach, it's going good, and then a couple of empty possessions and back to rec ball. 

[millerhusker]

They have 10 turnovers and we haven't taken advantage

[hhcscott]

I know I don't make $5 million a year to call timeouts, but if I were I might just once call it when the lead drops from 10 to 6 rather than waiting for it to go -3.

[Red Don]

Seems like we're just trading Missed Trey's.   (Except Indiana is starting to Hit! )

 

[Huskerpapa]

We are throwing bricks.  Tired legs are showing through

[Red Don]

Ref Cruz,  Bad call.  Verge gets hammered And Called! 

[tcp]

has NU passed the ball before the quick shot more than once inthe last 10 minutes? the ball is just suffocating on the O end. 

[HuskerFever]

Can't run a play? Just throw up a defended three-pointer!

[Huskerpapa]

Ughhhh.

[HuskerFever]

Can't score? Just give the ball to Verge, because he won't give it back!

[tcp]

miss that team that started this game. this other team needed to stay in the rec area in Lincoln. 

 

 

[Huskerpapa]

What started so good ended up meh.

[Red Don]

Pull Verge!!!  He's really hurting us now!!! 

[hhcscott]

Nebraska is so nice that we don't even try to rebound offensively.

Ball sticks in verge and Bryce’s hands. I know we all love Bryce, but he’s definitely a volume shooter 

[millerhusker]

Offense is absolute trash. I'm probably Hoiberg's biggest supporter, but he needs to figure out how to make it happen with the personnel he's got on this team. 

Verge is probably (maybe?) a net positive, but I despise how he's playing the game. Over-dribbling, poor shot selection, bad decision making, trying to create contact to draw fouls rather than just making the layup, etc.  After he threw up a transition three with 16 seconds left in the half (and no shot clock) he was on the bench whining as if it wasn't his fault. 

We have 22 points. Indiana wasn't good defensively against the two power conference teams they played so far this year.

This feels the same as when a football coach scripts the first X amount of plays . Then when the script ends the wheels fall off. I loved what I was seeing. Then BAM rec ball. *deep sigh*

[Cookie Crumbs]

Come on boys. Stop playing like this is 5th overtime vs NC State. Get some movement, get the pick and roll going, and force turnovers on the other end. GBR!

[Chuck Taylor]

Our offense is absolute trash. That is all.

Actually I wouldn't mind if started these right after the last game gets over. That makes a good place to chat about the upcoming game

[basketballjones]

We look like a team that is terrified and confused that a possession is lasting longer than 8 seconds. 
 

Shows me our practices aren’t competitive and guys get great looks early in practice. 

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Is Mickey Joseph available to coordinate our passing game?? 

[hhcscott]

Verge not valuing the pumpkin on the inbound.
