Nebraska (12-2) vs. Wisconsin (10-3) Game Thread

[millerhusker]

Williams has given up about 20 points today on the defensive end 

[hskr4life]

We allllmost cut it under 10.  Wisco just shooting lights out.

[Huskerpapa]

It's the D.  Struggling making the right adjustments.

[Huskerpapa]

I thought we matched up pretty well.  But they exploit our weakness constantly. 

[Cazzie22]

We haven’t cut the gap and we lost by three that first segment.  We cannot stop them.  Someone needs to step up offensively or it’s time to sing “ Turn out the lights, the party’s over”!

[HuskerBB]

Brice and CJ both struggling - has CJ even take a shot yet?

[HuskerBB]

Wisconsin is really good a ball movement and player movement without the ball which is the secret to attacking our defense.

[hskr4life]

This one’s over boys.  Worse yet… Nightmare for metrics which already didn’t favor us.  Better not happen again Tuesday.

Welcome to the party CJ

[Cazzie22]

Wisconsin is just playing superb basketball.  Where do they get all these big guys from?

Refs made it clear in the first five minutes that they weren't going to allow NU to play any defense today.

It’s what Creighton did also.

[Huskerpapa]

We aren't losing touch.  Can we make a mega-run?

All while allowing Chucky to lay hands wherever.

Chucky “The Hook” Hepburn. Rare to see him attack the basket without his off arm totally wrapped around the defender. 

[Fullbacksympathy]

Wiscy is a tough matchup for us.  We don’t really have a discernible advantage at any position outside of Keisei.  
 

Usually we have a step with quickness, but we’re sorta Wiscy lite this year, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.  

[HuskerBB]

That call on Gary was a killer.   we need him on the floor.

[cipsucks]

I have a feeling the Huskers make a run later in the game.  If we're with 7 at the 5 minute mark, we win this puppy.  That is a really big if....

[Huskerpapa]

Yeah...how did he get the blood?

[Fullbacksympathy]

Sam got fouled twice before he started bleeding.  Still no call. 

[hskr4life]

If we can get this down to 6-7 by the end of the game… it won’t hurt the metrics too much.

[REDZONEDAN]

I guess that was self inflicted?

No foul though.

 

It's hard to judge how bad we are today, because the officiating is total shit.  This one was fixed from the git-go.

[HuskerBB]

That was a pure flop.  What a joke
