Is Kent calling the game on his iPhone?

Was wondering the same thing.

Could be, someone mentioned that there was some technical difficulties.

UMD was dead last in B1G 3PT%… 28%.  At some point you’ve got to realize that everyone having their “day” against you isn’t just luck.  We’ve got to figure out why and fix it.

[brfrad]

I'd like to see us play physical on defense,  if the refs let them play.  We've done that the last 2 or 3 possessions and forced some turnovers. 

[Bugeaters1]

Maybe it is the basketball that is giving the Huskers issues.

[hskr4life]

Was better for a second.  Thought we might cut it to 12 or something crazy.

There's a big difference between winning 1/4th of your road games vs. zero.

Well, as of today, that difference is 1

 

I took that stat to mean conference games. If it was, 0-5 isn't a notable committee stat.

[Nighthawk]

All this talk of dancing is pointless at this point.  We might make it.....BUTTTT...we can't win on the road!!! 

[Huskerpapa]

We box someone out, they flop and we're called for a foul.

It shouldn’t be pointless though… that’s part of the problem.  This team is 15-5 and has beaten a likely national championship contender.  Something is seriously wrong if this team doesn’t dance.

Not pointless to me. Dancing, even with a first round loss, is much better than any alternative that doesn't include the Big Dance.

I guess I'm to a point where I'm getting tired of the one and done.  If they lost in the second round that would at least be further than they have ever gone.  

[Huskerpapa]

Hard to simply leave this one behind.  Man, we played an all around bad game.

I’m not tired of something that hasn’t happened in 10 years.

Okay guy drives runs into Mast who has the spot, knocks Mast backwards, no call. 
 

Ball bounces around, Mast kind of touches it, ball still bouncing around and some how we get called for a foul?

 

Not saying bad call but it doesn’t make since that the big contact at the first of the play was not called but maybe a touch to an arm is?

This.  I’m tired of not even having a chance to do something we’ve never done before.

[colhusker]

Yet another pathetic road performance. All to freaking common.

[Silverbacked1]

KT is really struggling right now.

[millerhusker]

Never seen someone with such a complete refusal to block out as Williams has. But it’s on the coaches. You can’t just let it continue to happen.

Just adding depth to your comment

If you benched everyone who refuses to box out, we would have no one to play.

[millerhusker]

We’re shooting a better percentage than Maryland both from the field and the three point line. Turnovers and giving up offensive rebounds. 

[Silverbacked1]

I do like what I have seen from Eli and CJ.

 

I ment KT has been struggling for about 3 games now not just missing shots but in all his game

[Nebrasketball1979]

Only need 3 TDs and 3 2pt conversions to force OT

[demone]

Glad I decided to clean a closet for the 2nd half. The coaches need to re-evaluate & change everything they are doing for road games: film study, game planning, practice plans, travel logistics, starting lineups. Hard to fathom how different this team is on the road.
