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

[HuskerBB]

Bad matchup for Eli to cover the big guy - especially when he is able to take 6 steps without dribbling

and all their nobodies are draining 3s...its just their day...

[Vinny]

Why not and 1?

[Huskerpapa]

Bad half of basketball.  But they are within reach IF we step up.

[northwillriseagain]

Honestly to be only down 13 with how we played on defense is not bad.

[hskr4life]

Giving up 51 is unacceptable.

13....big bucket at the end.....it's not dead yet....going to be a helluva climb, but not impossible. 

GO BIG RED!!!

Wisconsin is executing at a high level and getting too many easy looks.  They are also mauling us on the boards.  Time to toughen up and make a second half run.

100% no idea how that wasn’t continuation. 

[demone]

I get it - shots aren’t falling and the offense looks clunky. But giving up 51 in a half is simply lack of defensive effort/intensity. Disappointing but still have a chance.

our point scoring is fine for a game vs the Badgers. Gotta just get the enrgy level up for D, and hope they stay cooled off. They ain't getting another half century half.

Because when you are on the road with the inept D J Carstens, it is not a continuation.  Actually, I'm pleasantly surprised they did not call a charge.

It was their half, that’s for sure.  13 points not insurmountable, but we have to tighten the screws on D.

[Fullbacksympathy]

Law of averages says we tighten it up a bit.  Don’t think Wiscy can keep that efficiency up.  We’ll adjust.  

[Red Don]

Wiscy leads by 13 at the Half!
All Wisconsin in the Half, Seems like they can't miss!

 

[hskr4life]

We need to come out with a run.  Cut it to under 10 by the 16 minute mark.

[tcp]

Badgers playing like damn Loyola! hahahaha. 

 

clamp it down and this can be a game 

[brfrad]

Not what I expected from us on defense.   Cannot let them have bunnies and wide open 3's.  Hopefully, their 3 point comes back to the mean in the 2nd half.   We are getting outcoached and outplayed right now.  When, we double team their post, they send a cutter.  If we cover the cutter they kick it out for a 3.  If we play their post straight up, the post player bullies his way for an easy basket.

Sorry I've been MIA today.  We always do prime rib on Christmas Day, but since Seth was in the hospital we postponed it till today, so I've been cooking and listening to the game.  Rice's 3 before the half was big.  Wisconsin is on fire offensively.  If they keep it up, we're in trouble.  I don't think they will.  If we can cut the lead to single digits by the first media timeout, we have a chance.  GBR!

[brfrad]

Keisei is a pretty good guy.  He gives his opposing defenders a game worn jersey every game.
