Texas A&M (20-14) vs. Nebraska (23-10) Game Thread

[Bugeaters1]

Well it was a good season. Off to watch some women hoops.

[B1G Red]

Almost 120 pts given up last 2 halfs. Can’t believe we scored 44 and are down 14.

[cipsucks]

We're down 14 at half.  Screw all of you who have given up.  

[tcp]

bummer. hoiberg's speech to them earlier about not being satisfied with just making it seems a bit prophetic now.....oh well....it's a classic case of, "if you ain't got nothing good to say...." :) just one of them days. Hopefully something major happens after half.

They are GARBAGE!!!

58 MF points???

[Cazzie22]

I have a glimmer of hope.  We need to try to put some pressure and force some turnovers.  We cannot keep letting them get into the paint.

Our "defensive" team gave up the most points in a half in recent NCAA memory to aTm,

A&M was out of their mind shooting this half.  We need to settle down and not hang our heads .  They should come back down to earth.

If A&M hits threes in the 2nd half, they will be tough to stop. But we can’t let them get to the rim. And can we please make some bunnies! Cut it to 8 at the under 16 and go from there. GBR! 

[brfrad]

Good news.  They only have 6 offensive rebounds. 

 

Bad news.  They are so hot from outside. 

[cipsucks]

Watch A&M score less than 25 this half.  58-44 is the halftime score.  Huskers score 40+

[Huskerpapa]

Cip is right from my perspective.   We can still do this; but we have to come out and go to war.  Let's see how our team heart is at.

Yep.  They literally cannot shoot better from outside but 3ft shots and layups are demoralizing.  They’ve made exactly zero post entry passes against our defense.   We need heavy help at the top of the key and, despite the current numbers, keep making them shoot outside.  I expect an ice cold second half from A&M unless they get to the rim. 

[Bugeaters1]

Keep us posted.

 

[Huskerpapa]

We missed four bunnies.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Buzz clearly watched both Illinois game film and said - I’ve got multiple Terrance Shannon Jr’s. Look, this game is exposing and highlighting where we need MAJOR help next year. We must get better athletically. Must get an active and skillled big man to help out Mast. I love Mast offensively, but rebounding and grabbing a loose ball, he’s not great. 
Have to upgrade at point guard. Uhlis or whomever.

Never giving up...but damn...58. In. A. Half. 

[brfrad]

Nevada blew a 17 point lead with 7 minutes to go.  We can still do this.

Heavy help at the elbow and make them brick threes from the wing until we’re back in it.  Then pray their NBA pg doesn’t do NBA things.
