I feel like others on the team provide at least something positive whether it’s shooting, playmaking or defense I don’t feel like that brings that much to the table for his minutes.

Well the coach must see something different than you or anyone else in this thread does.

One of the biggest issues I’m seeing with our offense is we are just horrific off the second action of our screens.

Thank goodness.  If they even cut those in half, with the way their shooting, that's another 10 points.  They are shooting 69.2 % from the floor.  Right now, we have TWO defensive rebounds.  MSU has 3 offensive rebounds.

When did hugs become fouls? 

 Andre was just being nice.

[brfrad]

No matter how this game ends, this is a different team than played Michigan and Auburn.

[skerbball]

Rough few possessions 

[brfrad]

Lakes is by far our best rebounder.

[basketballjones]

Verge, Verge, Verge….. my man…. I only have so much defense left in my tank for you.

Apparently we're the only team that can get called for Technicals on dunks

[HuskerFever]

If we lose 80% of our Big Ten games playing the way we have against Ohio State and the first half of Michigan State, I might actually be happy with the way we wrap up this season.

[Bugeaters1]

Good half

You can also karate chop 2 opposing players in the face on a rebound, and it is clean?

Halftime Stats:

 

Huskers playing a good game, competitive, down by only 4 after holding several leads!!!

That line of thinking cost Scott Frost a cool million upfront.  I wonder if Fred agrees....   :)

Felt like he needed to sit the last 4 minutes. He was really out of sorts

He did succeed in getting half the team booted a while back. How many of our players in Nebraska history have done that.

If we play like the last 1 1/2 games, we should win more than 20% of our games.

Our Walker >> Their Walker

Bryce has looked like a NBA player tonight

Valuable 8 minutes we got out of Lakes.

Lakes and Lat need to shoot when they get the ball on a pass. A miss is better than a turnover

Wilcher struggling tonight

Agreed, especially Lakes. I don't know if Lat can get his shot off however as he has too slow of a release against more athletic teams.

[Huskerbballfan]

Don’t like verges energy this half, half jogging on close outs and not trying to get back on d after the shot. Also is taking some wild shots

[thrasher31]

Trey. Please come back.

And he got benched after the timeout.

We also are the only team that hugs a player and gets called for a foul.  MSU does it and it is a jump ball.  * Granted ours was a little more obvious.
