Nebraska (6-11) vs Purdue (13-2) game thread

When does Fred get mic’d up FS1? 

[hhcdave]

We have Big Sky Conference talent. Literally. 

[throwback]

Finally getting to the point in the game where it starts to look like a half-assed scrimmage. Judging from results, I assume this is normally how we practice, so we should excel the rest of the way.

It would probably sound something like this:

Probably when he is the color commentator (I was going to say when Nebraska was ranked, but that is never going to happen in Fred's time here)

I don't think that's a completely fair statement. (I mean...fair for a game thread, but) It's more like hodge podge P5 bench talent playing like a middling mid-major team.

[hhcmatt]

Edwards out there

Brace yourself for another 100-point defensive effort again.

Which is which? One team looks like 2nd semester seniors, checked out.

Just buy some whiskey and you will be ok.

 

That was empty by halftime.

It truly looked like we didn't even belong on the same floor.  And it wasn't just the size difference.

[HuskerFever]

I just want to say... I'm really tired by all these announcers saying things like "Nebraska has hung in there against some really good teams" and other "on the bright side" commentary. Yeah, I know, what else do they have to talk about?

 

But let's get over this. A loss is a loss and we're 100% losing our conference games.

Big Sky players: Mayen, Lakes, Edwards, Andre, Webster, McPherson, Wilcher. 

 

Half our roster. 
 

Third year into this and the talent is worse than when miles left. 

[HuskerFever]

It's one thing to watch the women's team go through the gauntlet against very good teams and they just can't pull off some of those wins.

 

It's another thing with the men's team where you legitimately don't even belong.

[hskr4life]

Why why why are Keisei, Kobe, and Wilcher still in there?

 

[Cookie Crumbs]

The most Lat Mayen sequence  happened. Pass hits him wide open in the hands as he is cutting, he fumbles the ball awkwardly, proceeds to brick a  fadeaway shot, and gives up a bucket on the other end!

 

I don't like pounding on a player that much, but at this point if we just talk about him it looks like that's what we are doing.

There's no one else they can really play. Cronin is in. McGraw I guess, but that's the rest of the bench

I love the multiple times per game that Derrick Walker pins and boxes the fuck out of his guy on a free throw miss - and Lat’s finesse effort allows an offensive rebound after ball hits the ground twice. 
 

Also love it when Lat takes it up at 6-7/6-8 and finesse finger rolls it like a princess. 
 

least favorite player in program history.

Painter complaining about calls when his team was in the bonus 3 minutes into each half. Read the room guy.

 

Would kill for a guy who coached hungry like that

Was actually my thought too but held my breath.

 

We talk about Hoiberg exhibiting zero energy. Painter is engaged the entire game even when you're playing a #250 / worst conference opponent type of game.

Doc is already 100000% retiring (I can confirm) but Matt A better be looking for work by St Patrick’s Day.
