Creighton (5-1) vs. Nebraska (7-0) Game Thread

[hskr4life]

Need to wash our hands of this one and quick.  This was the toughest game

of the current 4 game set.  Need to find a way to win 2

Lol, moving screen missed again on that three by kalk

He literally walked from the 3 point line right to the defender.

Absolute. Beat. Down.

 

[brfrad]

THEY CALLED A MOVING SCREEN!!!

There’s one constant in college basketball across the board - officiating is awful.

 

Control what you can control - Nebraska did not.

I hope we don't shoot this bad the rest of the year.  Even Keisei is missing open 3's.

I mean I don’t think we will but I’ve been a Nebraska basketball fan for a long time and seen it happen!

30 point beatdown at home. strap in for a long season dudes. sorry. this one's gonna be rough.

Posers

 

Lets be real, majority of the P5 would have beat up on our non schedule. 
 

Guessing we will be looking for another coach this March unless Trev just doesn’t care.

Other than mentally breaking us, this game doesn’t mean squat in the long run.  
 

Fred has to get er done this year though so he can let this one beat us Wednesday too.

[brfrad]

We just melted down.  That halftime chain of events took us out of the game.  We cannot let that happen again.

 

The season is not over.  Need to play/shoot better Wednesday. 

 

Creighton lost by 20 in KC, and came out looking like a top 5 team, again.  Need to sweep this week.

[RedEyedFanatic]

This kinda reminded me of that Texas game back in 2009 or 10. The red out around the world game. We over hyped it and the team came out flat. Even with all the other issues, if we shoot 30 percent from three it's a way closer game.

Disagree. It was one of a few chances in the non con to get a good win. Now it almost feels like they have to beat KSU.  
 

Either that or go on a tear in the Big Ten which we know won’t happen.

Obviously can't leave 3 point shooters wide open.  Anymore basketball is a shooter's game.  They will make them.

 

Not really sure what happened with the reffing.  They seemingly just stopped calling fouls.

 

Nebraska has to look inside more.

What happened was they wilted after getting worked non-stop by Mac.  Just a gutless effort by the stripes.   It didn’t matter, as the Jays were better at every position and would have blown us out anyway, but still a sad display of cowardice.

Needed to fly in Miles for this one to keep Mac from squatting on the FNBO logo

Wondering this as well. Last year we had a week off before the St. John’s and K-State games and we came out and laid an egg in both of those. 

 

VERY VALID CONCERN

That explains the FNBO smell over there.

Rebounding at both ends of the court. Close-outs on three-balls. Transition defense.

 

Whelp. . .

Yes, relying on cranking up 3s isn't a great recipe for this squad. I've said that all season, today they proved to be less than stellar from the land of plenty. Ughh, couldn't have picked a worse time to shrink to the in-state squad. That sucked, big time. Now, it's time to move on to B1G games ahead. GBR

JL has been good at running the point but his outside shot has taken a step or three backwards
