Is this why we lured Fred here? To get his son to commit? 

 

Sammie McThrees.

Feels like Griesel isn’t even in the game sometimes…

That last foul on Dawson was total BS.  The Maryland player had Dawson hooked.

FTs the difference. 

 

 

And turnovers. This team will be outmanned every game. The turnovers are killers. And Walker, for all the good he does, is a turnover machine. And most are just careless and unforced.

Halftime Stats: Maryland leads by ten points: 30-40.

They just said Maryland is a tournament hopeful?  They are 0-5 away from home are they playing the NCAA games at home now?

Why did Wilcher shoot the technical foul shot when Sam H was on the floor?

Seemed like a good idea to put a career 62% FT shooter who’s currently in a relative funk on the line all by himself on the road. I guess.

Are you in the Big Ten?

 

Are you ahead of Nebraska in the conference standings?

 

Then you're a tournament hopeful.

 

And even if you're behind Nebraska in the standings, that's fine. You can just take their spot.

Wilcher yes, but Keisi!? No way. He’s been our only life on offense all year! 

He’s done what he is supposed to do offensively this and I love the kid’s enthusiasm, but he is a horrendous defender.  I think Sam is just about as good of a shooter and about twice as good of a defender from the small sample size.  Kid is a gamer.

I’m sorry but you’re wrong. The way they guard Kesei is way more aggressive because they know how’s our best shooter. Sam is playing great, but it’s not the same. And Sam is a better defender but not by much. They are already exposing his size on the other end

CJ Wilcher - absolutely great kid and I appreciate him being a Husker - really  frustrates me. He’s sneaky lazy out there. Doesn’t do a lot of the small, non-stat basketball things that make a good player (of course, as a team, we really struggle with that in general). 
 

I need to see more out of him to be excited about next year or his future as a player here.

In a good way but can Dawson just make a lay up?  Loves the dipstick do but it does make me hold my breath!

Sloppy turnovers killing us again this game.

[Huskerpapa]

F***ing turnovers.

[Huskerpapa]

They are 15-15from free throw line.

We continue  to look like a JV team handling the ball.

Other than that...

[brfrad]

It's not the number of turnovers.  It's the fact that we are giving up fast break buckets off those turnovers.  We are -3 in turnovers, but -11 in points off turnovers.

[colhusker]

Just once I would love to have more assists than turnovers.

It's tied right now.

 

[colhusker]

Sam Hoiberg has as many points at this point as 4 of our starters combined.

True, wasn't when I typed it and now it's 12-10 so I might get my wish

Missed bump on the transition drive turns i to a 4pt swing. Nice

[Huskerpapa]

Could have been a foul????  What the hell.  Come on!

[HuskerFever]

I don't do math well, but last I knew it's hard to win a game when you regress back to double-digit deficits every 5 minutes.

Refs in the league will never give us a fair shake. With that said, Sam went up way too soft. Needs to blast straight at the hoop and try to dunk on his head.
