Nebraska (13-3) vs. Iowa (9-6) Game Thread

[brfrad]

Mast, Allick, and Rice about the only ones to come to play.  A very gettable game, we are going to blow.  Our shots are not falling, and they don't appear to have a chance.

Iowa goes to zone

we respond by taking Mast and KT out

then we don’t run any action but just pass around the perimeter until someone takes a rushed three

iowa is nebraskaing us 

Couldn't agree more. With the zone I thought it would be good to have CJ and KT to be ready to shoot and Mast at the high post but what do I know. 

[NUtball]

Completely lost on both ends right now.

[Cazzie22]

Rice cannot defend Freeman.

hawks had, what, 6 days of rest coming in and we had our customary 2? I'm not going to get too bent about this one. A lot of temas would've run out of gas with this schedule, and if there's anything the conference has been with us as the newbie, it's dicks with scheduling. This stretch is brutal. 

 

Our guys need some rest. Preferably before they play themselves out of a possible top half or middle finish.

Can't handle prosperity.  This is depressing.

We need to get stops and make threes to get back into this.  Two things we haven’t done all game.

A lot of teams face this type of schedule.  You have to fight through and find a way to win.  That is the difference between a champion and the also rans.

Down 15... NET killer.

[Cazzie22]

I am afraid this what we are, a team that will struggle on the road and with the home crowd be tough to beat at PBA.

[Cornbread21]

Hate the adjustment Hoiberg has made against the zone. Has our 5 (Mast) running high PnRs on the top defender—which can work if you have guards who are good drivers and dishers which we do not have. 

[brfrad]

Iowa looks like we did against Purdue.

[CanadianHusker]

The Hawkeyes are hitting their 3s. They haven't been doing that as much this season. And we don't finish well at the rim all of the time, and that's hurting us this half. It's tough to win on the road. They fought back to even it up but the boys look tired. I hope they can give it everything the last few minutes and not give up.

If I'm reading stats correctly on cbsports, huskers are 24-33 from 2!?!? Iowa is 17-26 from 2!?!?

[NUtball]

Rice provided a nice offensive spark, but you can see why he doesn't play much - the defense isn't there yet.

The dog inside of Gary stayed in Lincoln

Absolutely shit shot selection from the very start of the game. JLaw and Gary took our first 5 3’s and you could argue the game was lost right there.

 

Fred got outcoached when Fran went to zone. FH had no answer and, as usual, is unwilling to coach shot selection and define roles. 

[Huskerpapa]

Just a pathetic effort.

[Cazzie22]

Keisei might try to find that Dix kid.

[NUtball]

30+ points from 4 and 32.  Not going to win when chumps like that tear you a new one.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Im ok with Iowa being on fire. But I’m not ok with the absolute lack of urgency and multiple guys hanging their heads. JL, Gary, Brice…

[FredsSlacks]

so much for being ranked. maybe its for the best we aren't. really going to need to beat rutgers

[colhusker]

Just awful defense tonight.  I will never pick us to win a road game.

Hoiberg got outcoached from the jump. We had no idea how to guard their heavy movement/screen offense. It’s like their was no scout or defensive game plan at all.
