Welp, at least we scored at least 30 points in the first half. 
 

Feels like a while since we could say that.

Do you think CJ plays scared?

 

When you're a shooter whose shots not falling, its natural to question everything. He's also just getting exposed by not having 4 rebounders on the court with him

[atskooc]

So. Many. Turnovers. 

[Bugeaters1]

Hero ball.

 

[hskr4life]

We decided not to play one end of the court tonight.  

[millerhusker]

Sam and Derrick are forcing it way too much and making bad decisions. We went on our run with those two on the bench. Even if we weren’t making shots during that run, still looked way more fluid and the ball wasn’t sticking. 

[Bugeaters1]

four and half minute scoring drought.

Northwestern is shooting very well.  It’s going to take some serious defense to have a chance in the 2nd half.  NW is playing some good defense although I believe the officials are letting them be physical.

[Cazzie22]

Audige hasn’t scored. That’s scary.

[fr8-train]

Wow! NW with 14 2nd chance points on 6 offensive rebounds.  We only have 9 rebounds!  Sam and Derrick combined for 7 TOs.  

[NUdiehard]

Griesel and Walker have combined for 4 points and 7 turnovers. 

[NUdiehard]

Wilhelm predetermines that he is going to shoot EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. 

[cipsucks]

Huskers down by 13.  13 is a cool number.  The children of Israel marched around Jericho 13 times and then the walls came down.  Same thing happens tonight!

Welp. This one is looking like it’s over.

I literally listened to this song tonight when I got home from work an hour ago….what are the chances eh ?

[millerhusker]

Keisei and the freshman have been bright spots. Everyone else has been at their absolute worst tonight. 

[fr8-train]

Horrible TO by CJ

[colhusker]

Guy not breaking news, but this is just a very bad basketball team.  Poorly coached and lacking the it factor.

[Cazzie22]

Turn Out the lights, the party’s over.  The Wildcats are on their game and have taken Walker and Sam totally out of their game.  If we hit threes we hang with them, but of course, we haven’t.

Yep and our staff has no answer for it.  Out coached again.

[cipsucks]

Well, being the eternal optimist, if we're within 15 by the 10 minute mark we have a sliver of a chance...

A team with 7 available scholarship players, two starters out for the year and two freshman with minimal experience replacing them doesn’t have the it factor? Ya don’t say?

[Bugeaters1]

I turned it off.

It's kind of hard to coach when your 2 best players can't throw a simple pass 5 feet to a wide open player.
