6 minutes left in first half of MD  v NW....BTN is garbage...

(Taking what satisfaction I can)

[nuhusker7]

Heartbreaking and bullshit at the same time.

 

Absolute ref show.

 

Absolutely heartbreaking about Juwan.

 

At the end of the day the tournament is still out there for the taking.

Mast lost that game single handily. Everyone else wasn’t perfect, but you can’t expect a clean game on the road. Shot the ball pretty well honestly. Didn’t have that many TOs. It was simply Mast not getting a rebound over and over and over. 

[hal9000]

Welp, no Gary, Mast was an albatross, and Rutgers having 4,789 offensive boards is a recipe for a loss.

[Nebrasketball1979]

Unflipping believable.  Just a complete choke job again with a double digit lead in a 2nd half.  Awful basketball over the final 10 minutes of regulation. No one stepped up.  Mast was atrocious.  Looks like he gassed himself out against Edey and hasn't recovered.

Lawrence 2-8, 0-5 3 ptrs and 2 turovers., 1 of those coming on 2 on 1. Wilcher 3 to's and bad heat check 3 early in shot clock. Not sure what was with final play in regulation?

[HuskerFever]

How many teams have made the tournament with an inevitable Q3 loss on the resume?

Mast is good vs Edey because Edey is just as slow and in athletic as he is. But anyone with an ounce of athleticism, quickness or speed, he looks like a lost puppy

Good thing that was a Q2.... still... this team has a LOT of work left to do.

Aren't quads based on final season results and not when you played them? They'll be Q3 soon enough.

lawrence has been awful the entire season. needs to be benched...

[tcp]

a team that can only play at home generally isn't a tourney team. that applies to these huskers. those blowout losses weren't flukes.

While true-- they'll get a nice bump from this win and any win they can get the rest of they way.  They'll have to rack up quite a few losses to get towards Q3 territory on the road.

IDK how true this is though.  We beat KSU in Manhattan and have held leads against both Minny and Rutgers.  We just can't finish.  It's not like we "can't" play on the road... it's more that we can't finish on the road.

if it's lawyers doing the picks, this might fly. i don't think it will with the committee.

Rutgers just rebounded this for 2 more points

Oh don't get me wrong... Not being able to finish on the road is just as bad.  Losses are losses.  I just disagree that we can't play on the road.  We can... we just shell up and don't finish.

Agreed. Like I said in other thread Edey is only POY because he's 7'4". He should dominate. And that's why Purdue will exit NCAA tourney early. Someone will do those same things to him that Rutgers did to Mast and Mast did to Edey. I'm not saying Mast has no blame but he looks absolutely gassed. Taking heat check 3s and/or forcing things when not needed only wears on him more. He was completely out-athleted tonight. Can't remember who said it but you never are as good as you look on your best day and not as bad as you look on your worst. And alot of those rebounds aren't his blame but Juwan would've made a difference and a couple he had Cliff checked but someone elses man got rebound.

Undisciplined play.  Staple of the Hoiberg era.

Hey, my friend, chances are he'll be here next year.  So, what do you want to happen?

Did you see disciplined, smart play?   I appreciate that your DNA doesn’t allow a negative thought to creep in, which is cool.  But don’t attack realistic and accurate viewpoints.   
 

[Silverbacked1]

Well I am going to quit watching!

 

selling my tickets!

 

burning all my Husker clothes!

 

starting a right in to get rid of Fred!

 

and I think we have reached ROCK BOTTOM!

[royalfan]

Going to quit scrolling back after three pages.  There are so many idiotic takes I can’t do it anymore.  Awful loss and Gary is the cherry on top(win if he didn’t go down).
