The arrogance from each of these shooting celebrations...

If we maybe start guarding them, they would miss shots.  I don't know exactly what the defensive game plan is?

They’re mocking keisei’s celebrations

Right?!? It's like we've never seen a screen before.

Really feels like things could unravel if we get blown out in this one.  We'd be one game under .500 and playing a bunch of teams with nothing to lose.   

If it wasn’t for Gary, it would be a blowout already. It’s gotta start with better D. 

[Huskerpapa]

I just don't understand how we never get a cylinder call???

[cozrulz]

the momentum is there if they get it to 10 or under

[Huskerpapa]

We have to get our heads out of collective butts.  Turnovers, lack of rebounds, porous defense, bad shooting.  This stinks.

[hskr4life]

Gave up 8 offensive boards.  Man this team sometimes totally forgets what got us our amazing start.

[tcp]

apparently they're still on the plane. must've been a good movie.

 

wonder if it was called, "how to screw over your tourney bid?" 

 

hopefully they at least tighten this one up in the 2d half. NW is a good team, but not this good and we're not this bad. They need to find their pride.

Fred is constantly having to yell at the players to run instead of walk. That’s an issue.

indicator that they're just not there....wonder if they buy into the "can't win on the road" thing? If that little bug is in their heads, they're in a bad place.

Fred can yell?

[REDZONEDAN]

That flop by Boo had Caitlyn Clark jealous.

[HuskerBB]

Why don't we ever get moving screen calls the other way?

lovely. Kent firing off a culture war flare...sheesh dude. 

 

leave it be....

Double digit loss would have us in a pretty uncomfortable place. Some must win games ahead now. 

[hskr4life]

I don't even know what to say.  Thought this one was really winnable with how we played Sunday.  Maybe Sunday was more of the fluke.

[cornfed24-7]

Only good thing that can be said about this half is we kept them under 50

[Huskerpapa]

I'm not sure we can play a half of basketball worse than what we just witnessed.

 

But hey, we've come back from bigger deficits

So depressing 

[basketballjones]

This team is either making you beat your chest with pride or they’re making you hide from embarrassment and there’s no in between. Fred’s about to squander one of the better teams that’s come through here.

Down 16 at half. Right where we want them.
