Nebraska (8-6) vs. Michigan St. (9-4) Game Thread

Might want to guard Walker for them.

[Cazzie22]

We just cannot shoot. 

[basketballjones]

It’s beyond infuriating to me that for, idk how long… we have not been able to find guys who excel at shooting kickout 3’s. Everyone we get who’s a 3pt shooter is 1on1 3pt shooter, or off of actions (but can’t get open in P5 basketball). 

[Huskerpapa]

Yeah, we officially look like sh*t tonight.

[Cazzie22]

Live ball turnovers are death against Sparty.

[hskr4life]

Oh boy… going to get run out of the gym.

Complete opposite of the Iowa game.  We can't make a shot like Iowa.  MSU can't miss like we couldn't in the 1st half.

[cornfed24-7]

The point blank misses man. 

[brfrad]

How are we shooting 32 %?

[Huskerpapa]

Our shots are actually clanking loudlyoff the rim.

[roscoe]

26-6 Sparty run including last 11

[Huskerpapa]

K-State all over again

[Huskerpapa]

This may be the worst half of the year.

[brfrad]

It's tough when your 2 best players have the worst games of the year at the same time.

[demone]

And the roller coaster continues…

[Cazzie22]

I only hope that we find something positive in the 2nd half to carry forward.  Sparty defends very well.  They have intensity and quickness at all five spots.  

[brfrad]

Good news, if we were playing on 5 on 1 against Walker from MSU, we would be ahead by 1.  17 - 16.  Maybe the conference could let us play the 2nd half like that.

[brfrad]

We play like this against Minnesota, we will lose to them.

[hskr4life]

We might just be positively inconsistent enough to win 12-14 games, but they won’t be easy.  I’m not seeing a post season with how inconsistent we are though.

Not good.

 

Just play to get some confidence and cut the lead and then go get a W saturday.

 

Michigan state is good, and we aren’t hitting shots. At the end of the year this will be a loss on the road to a very good team. Nothing hurt.

[hal9000]

The way these type of games tend to go for us is we outscore them by a few points in the second half and lose by about 20.

How much do free throws cost?

Supposed to be free.

Griesel needs some rear view mirrors lol

Wilcher doesn’t go after loose balls and rebounds with the same intensity as the rest of the fellas
