Stats lie.  Three three pointers plus a two pointer

Shooting has been tremendous by both teams.  Turnovers are killers.  Got do a better job rebounding as well.

53% for the Huskers & 48% for Merlin

OK, but I'll trust the stats

 

[Bugeaters1]

Merlin has made this game 

 

[hhcscott]

I'm blaming the turnovers on playing at the Xfinity Center. They always have connectivity issues.

[Huskerpapa]

Good lord.

[hskr4life]

Not good

[hskr4life]

Can’t afford blowout losses 

[Huskerpapa]

We have our heads somewhere other than on the court.  Goodness.

Not over until the fat lady sings.

Time for some nyquil shots.

Maybe we need to keep it close on the road for awhile?  Those big leads haven't worked.  Ha!

Minnesota, Rutgers, Maryland. Three conference road games where we had double digit leads. Three losses (probably). If we don’t make the NCAA tournament it may very well be because we didn’t just hold on to win one of these three games. It’s crushing.

This is the way all teams play us on the road.   They pressure us and we wilter.

[Bugeaters1]

3:32 scoring drought

 

[Huskerpapa]

Need a good run before half

[HuskerBB]

Getting destroyed on the boards now.   Early we rebounded well but not the last 10 minutes.

Wrong team

[huskerkid21]

why are the constants on the road that other teams dont miss from 3, it looks like we purposely dont box out, and the refs suck a little bit

Just so soft and timid on the road.

Down 14.  Be nice if we could get it below 10 by halftime. I know they're having technical difficulties on radio, but if I spent money advertising on the Husker Radio Network, I'd be demanding some money back.

[Bugeaters1]

you can just bump the guy out of bounds

 

[Silverbacked1]

Maryland is that type of team that is a bunch of great athletes but maybe not a great basketball IQ team. However there run around hit the boards hard jump around pass all over the place, a version of 40 minutes of hell type of play.

 

it doesn’t always work well but if allowed to be physical and they hit shots that they haven’t all year we get what we are seeing right now.

 

do we play them here? because I think they don’t do that to us here.  This is what they did to Iowa also. 
 

just my $.02 worth

Refs have missed a few.

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