We give up so much when Derrick Walker is not in the game.

Izzo crying his way to a foul call on Eduardo

Mcgowens need to make some smarter passes turnover and bad shots are killing us

[brfrad]

Izzo gave a great pep talk to the refs at halftime.

Game probably out of reach now.  Missed most of first half but some parts of the game show improvement.   We are trying to run some offense.  Still, bad turnovers and can’t rebound.

Verge throwing it up and hoping it goes in.

Clean blocks called fouls on Nebraska

Lakes is by far our best rebounder.

Which is scary

[brfrad]

So, backing a guy under the basket to allow the PG to drive, is not a moving screen?

[Huskerpapa]

Deep breath...playing better tonight.

vergggge.....grrrrrr....

I know our chances of winning are slim, but this showing gives me hope.  Our last 2 games we went toe-to-toe with probably the best 2 teams in the country, one on the road.  We get down 10 against MSU, and we aren't wilting.  We take a tough loss to OSU, and follow it by not moping and coming out tough against MSU.

 

Verge is perplexing tonight.  At times, he plays really good, at other times he plays out of control.  Do you sit him, or let him play?  Probably let him play.

Webster hit on the arm affecting his shot, and no foul???

No blood, no foul for the home team tonight

[brfrad]

Did the MSU guy travel?  I don't know?  Can you take 3 steps and drag your pivot foot 2 feet?  Probably depends on the color of your jersey.

As long as it's not called.

 

[HuskerBB]

Did McGowens intentionally not throw it to Verge all alone under the basket?

 

[HuskerFever]

Whole lotta turnovers we couldn't capitalize on...

[HuskerBB]

WAY to many sloppy pass turnovers tonight.

 

[huskerbill85]

Any chance NBA tells McGowens stay in college work on that 3 point shot?

[Huskerpapa]

Constant theme; open look three - clank.

And, then we make a 30 foot 3.

[colhusker]

How do you let the guy dribble around you next to out of bounds line? Force him back to double team.

[brfrad]

And, now another 3.
