Unbelievably bad effort so far.  I have a lighter that Fred can borrow to light a fire.

Too late now

[Huskerpapa]

Kudos to Maryland.  They smacked us in the mouth and we couldn't or didn't respond.

[HuskerFever]

Absolutely embarrassing.

[cipsucks]

At least we didn't go down by 20....

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Honestly, a lot of our guys don’t look very interested in being out there right now. It’s embarrassing frankly. 

[hskr4life]

Up 12 to 2… so that’s a 42 to 15 run in favor of UMD.

Does it come with a bong?  

[Bugeaters1]

22 to 11 on rebounds

[basketballjones]

Soft team, physically and mentally, unless literally everything is going well for them and the crowd is for them. 

[millerhusker]

I’ve seen some pretty good full court presses before. This Maryland press is absolutely not one of them. There is no reason for it to completely derail our offense. Not only should we be able to get the ball up the court against this press, but a good college basketball team should make Maryland pay for using it.

Good thing we were up 10.  Still gives us a chance...

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Whatever we are doing for road games prep, everything needs to be examined. From the routine to the schedule of travel to what they do - it’s clearly not working .

It's easy to beat us on your home court.  Just pressure the hell out of us.  If the refs let you play that way, the game is won.

[hskr4life]

Top 4 conference team at home and bottom 4 on the road.  How do we not get up for a game like this?  We could dance!  We’re so close.  Unfortunately, if we can’t play outside of PBA… we’re not making it.

[Silverbacked1]

Okay I am going to pile on here a bit but just checked our schedule out and this could be the first loss in a run of 4 games we could easily lose. 
 

Wisconsin at home, at Illinois and at Northwestern.

Went the last 7:23 without a fg. 37% of the half. How are there no adjustments during these long fg droughts to manufacture a few good looks? This is the oldest team in the B1G. Just inexcusable. 

[brfrad]

I feel we need to get the football team to our practice.   Let them beat us up for a little bit to simulate the physicality these teams bring us on the road.

[HuskerBB]

9 turnovers and outrebounded 22-11 in the first half.   Can't win basketball games that way.

[huskerkid21]

after watching that half I honestly don't believe we should be given a bid if were gunna pull this crap every time were on the road and this is coming from a guy who would trade a kidney for a ncaa tourney birth

Our next two are Wisconsin and Illinois, drop both of those and we are in real uncomfortable territory.

Yeah, it’s usually a bad idea to dribble through it, but it’s so soft we could and should.

That's the first time kidney has been mentioned on this board in a long time.

[cipsucks]

Hey, at least give them the first five minutes of the second half to see how they respond.  You never know.

[Nebrasketball1979]

For some perspective, the Big ten road win percentage is 29%, lowest of the power 5 conferences.  It's tough to win on the road but admittedly we make it look close to impossible at times.
