Last three minutes will determine if we stay in this game. Fred finally called a timeout when we fall behind by 7.

TV announcers just called Alonzo Verge the model of consistency lol

The model of consistently making the wrong decision when he gets in the paint????

And Keisei, CJ, and Bryce passing up open 3s before that for contested 2s!!! 

[Cazzie22]

Why can’t we knock down an open three?

[Bugeaters1]

4 asst.

 

[Bugeaters1]

Damn

Sounds like an inverse Wayne Gretzky quote:

 

"A good three-point shot by Nebraska basketball is the one they don't take."

Announcer: “Million dollar move but 10 cent finish.” Yep, that pretty much sums up Verge from his appearance at Big 10 media days to his performance on the court. 

[Huskerbballfan]

Lat with a great catch and finish at the buzzer. Glad he can contribute so much to are team

[Bugeaters1]

WTF LAT

Nice play design there at the end. Props to Fred for drawing up a good one.

 

However, no props to Fred for continuing to play the same trash turnover-prone players who continue to screw up good situations they get put in time after time.

That’s a good thought. 
 

However I will assume our game plan will be to let Davison and Davis combine for about 10 made threes tonight, and we’ll allow Chucky Hepburn to surpass his season high of 15 points. 

 

Update: Hepburn with 9 points on pace to break his career high of 15.

 

Davison and Davis combined for 5 threes (all Davison of course). On pace for 10 made threes.

We had 3 timeouts to talk about how to defeat Wisconsin's zone to end the half

No confidence, poor passing. But there’s no excuse really. We’ve passed up 3 open 3s for contested 2s that we missed.

Good thing Matt A. didn’t make him a priority. I guess he thought we were on the Verge of something better...sadly it’s been far worse. I think that’s why I haven’t been reading on this great board this season. It’s been such a painful season from the very first game. Thanks for keeping the discussion and good content going everyone!

64% to 30% on treys go figure.

these poor dumb bastards on tv are pretty excited about Nebraska's chances this 2nd half

Combine that with a 28-18 (11-1 offensive) rebounding deficit and being down by 8 is quite a miracle. Although the Badgers are only 34% from 2. That’s helping us as well. 

[Bugeaters1]

Can the women's game start now?

I should say 20% from 2 in first half

[colhusker]

Just a poorly coached team.
