If all our years are long, then does that make the years long? Or just average?

[B1G Red]

4-24 from 3 … will this ever end?

Would love to see some NIL Money going to wilhelm to leave the state

Imagine the absolute worst half of basketball that could ever be had. Now, understand that this half of basketball was even worse than that

[hskr4life]

They are literally treating us like we’re a HS team.  Toying with us.

 

This team has lost its fight and it’s game 3.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Wilhelm giving me Bryce Benhart vibes out there 

[Cazzie22]

The theory of momentum thread might be applicable here.  Any confidence this group may have had has been destroyed in this half. 

[hskr4life]

Remember, this team was projected middle to latter part of the Big East.

And to top it off, the following game is the cupcake we cringe to (UC Riverside) versus that other team we don't talk about.

I'm going to go watch a soccer game being played in the snow.

The only guy not crapping his pants is Tominaga.  Maybe the international experience got him used to playing on the big stage.  

[hskr4life]

Creighton will be a blood bath.  Maybe we win one over Thanksgiving.  Maybe we sneak a few in the Big 10.  But wins will be few this year.

[Cazzie22]

I You have to go to the ball to receive a pass against  pressure.

We did our part to keep it a low scoring game

[HuskerFever]

Should we try the football-player-does-basketball experiment again?

Well the basketball player that does basketball isn't working.

[Dean Smith]

Say what you want to about last year's team, they had the ability to beat anyone on a given night. This team just is not good offensively and they don't have the ability to score consistently against power 5 teams. You can stop watching if they fall behind by 10 because with their limited ability on the offensive end it's like a 20 point lead for a normal power 5 team. They play hard I'll give them that but they are not fun to watch.

What a horrible half of basketball.

Maybe Brant Banks can come help out again. 

[busticket]

Hard to believe Wilhelm was a top 50 recruit.  Or Blaise Keita was a JUCO force.  

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Wilhelm is probably about Summit League level, and that’s being generous. His footwork and mobility are about 1/4 of a Hunter Dickinson

I think what's really interesting is that the O/U was set at 159.5 - that seems absurdly high.  Unless there is overtime, I struggle seeing this many points.  I think we are more competent defensively this year (at least we play harder) and we will still likely struggle to score at a super high clip.  Maybe St. John's is a horrible defensive team and this will be a track meet but I'm skeptical.

The only positive that came out of tonight was making a little bit of money on this trainwreck

Your final (well 12 sec left - seem like nobody told 'em the game's over yet ) stats:
